You Eat Chicken, Don't You?
I must give credit to HMoore123 in a previous comment: People often ask if my vegetarian diet includes fish or chicken, as if fish were swimming vegetables and chickens grew on trees in my backyard. "I pick them off the tree out back" is not original. Forgive me, HMoore123!— December 11, 2008 1:41 p.m.
You Eat Chicken, Don't You?
I couldn't have been that harsh in using the word a-hole for my sister when she informed me of her new choice of healthy eating habits. I'm sure it stemmed from one weekend visit a few years back when I was promised sausage and eggs for breakfast. WhooHoo! What I got was Egg Beaters and a sausage substitute that could only be equated to a crispy dog turd! You say, "I'll bet she's never tasted a dog turd!" and you would be correct but left to my imagination, that's what it tasted like! I have recently adopted this lifestyle myself and am thoroughly enjoying it! As some have said, you never go hungry! And being one who loves to cook there are endless new recipes to be discovered! I must say that meat substitutes such as Boca burger and Soyrizo have come a long way. I can make a chili that even my meat eating friends enjoy! And my sister and brother-in-law have since redeemed themselves for the Dog Pooh Plate they served me for breakfast that one day by introducing me to Soyrizo! So, I continue to explore the opportunities and boundless selections of new foods for me to savor! I've only been doing this a few months and I feel great, not to mention having a lot more energy! So, when they ask if I eat chicken, I just say, "No."— December 6, 2008 10:54 p.m.
