Come up with your own clever title. Do you expect me to do everything around here?

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Today I learned about a new kind of person.

Flexitarians.

A flexitarian is a vegetarian who eats meat.

Take a few seconds for that one to sink in.

So it’s someone who eats both meat and vegetables.

In other words, prescription it’s a person with normal eating habits. It’s the dietary equivalent of white suburban teenagers dressing in $500 G-Unit threads and declaring how “Gangsta” they are, anabolics while sitting at the mall waiting for their mothers to pick them up. If that’s how they choose to live, that’s their business. But I reserve the right to laugh at them.

Now before anybody gets into a snit over this. I have no problem with eating vegetables. I have no problem with not eating meat. I have a mild problem with people who try to act like their dietary choice makes them a superior being. But only mild problem because I’m a smartass and I love an easy target. Veggie-vangelicals are awesome people to pick on because they are both pretentious and very unlikely to be able to beat you up for it.

I understand that some people have religious issues with meat. And I believe in respecting people’s religious decisions. But only so far as they don’t get obnoxious about it. If someone tells me that they chose not to eat meat (for whatever reason), I’ll say cool, and pass them a salad. But if they get pushy or preachy…well then they must be mocked.

There’s probably more I could say on the subject but I have to run upstairs to eat a plate of delicious dead cow.

Two Updates

First update: The whole t-shirt thing?  Still happening…just taking longer than I expected.  I finally got to see a test batch, and those should be available soon.

Second Update: next week, I will be unveiling my new  “can’t do” list.
