Vegetables

There are some people in this world who sometimes just don't understand basic things...i agree calculus can be quite difficult at times, and even world issues like the oil prices rising can be confusing, but differentiating between a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian is quite the general knowledge that everyone should know.

So I was sitting at a coffee shop the other day, and was cherishing my latte, when one of my friends asked me about any dietary restrictions I may be involved with. I said yes, I have one main restriction...I am a vegetarian. This "friend" as he likes to call himself, then asked me if I ate fish.

No. I don't eat fish. Fish lives. It breathes through gills. I still consider it an animal even if it lives under water. No exception. I don't eat seafood. If you dip a chicken in water, is it now considered sea food? No. Then why the hell would a vegetarian consider fish a vegetable? Can you plant a seed and make it grow into a fish? I hope not.

It gets worse. Another one of my friends then asked me if I drank milk. Big Mistake.

I'm not lactose intolerant. I drink milk, in fact, four times a day. I like it in chocolate, and sometimes I even make it into a milkshake.

I love the fact that vegetarianism can become a competition. Right after I mentioned that I was in fact a vegetarian, my friend pointed out that another one of his friends was vegan.

A vegan is simply a guy who can't eat animals, or anything that comes from them. Basically, no milk, no eggs, no meat. Okay, thanks for telling me that your friend is a more intense synonym of what I am.

Haha I think im going to end this little rant here, hope you enjoyed it. I sure enjoyed writing it.
