And the Best Distraction For Rossi At Work Award goes to...

Thanks to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for sending me this wonderfully wanky thread by someone who is giving up vegetariansim after eight years because he/she can't handle the pressure people put on him/her. There's the whole gamut - outraged die-hard vegetarians defending their lifestyles to the last inch, defensive meat eaters subjecting everyone (yet again) to descriptions of the perfect steak as being the reason why humans must eat meat, recipes for tofu and salad, abuse of the Standard American Diet, the joy of Burger King Veggie Burgers (which have more fat in them than anything else I've eaten in the last eight years combined, I swear)... It's a whole lot of snarky fun, and if I'd gotten around to using that JournalFen code Seraph sent me, I'd be posting it to the non-fandom Fandom_Wank. :)

You know, as much as I enjoy mildly teasing you and Heatherly* (probably about as much as you guys would over my decision to consider certain foods Evil, like, say, soybeans.) - hey, its your mouth, your body and ultimately, your decision, not mine.

I can't understand why people get so up in arms about the choices people make about their diets.

I mean, you don't see people giving diabetics shit, you don't see people giving shit to folks who keep kosher (as far as I know...)... what's up with giving vegetarians crap over a choice?

Hell, I haven't found anyone who gives -me- crap about my decision not to eat anything with aspertame in it.

*shakes head*

(that being said - hey, Salad! With Gravy!)

Salad. With Gravy!

Thanks for the giggle, Frito - that was a great memory. :) And you're right, people get weird about food, and far be it from me to slam anyone from eating anything - unless they've previously stated that they are wanting to lose weight and want to eat more healthily. Then I will hassle them mercilessly about every burger and deep fried item. ;)
