Of Vegetables And Vegetarians
The other day at work, they organized a pizza lunch for everyone... At lunch time, everybody trooped into the kitchen to pick up some pizza... Just as I entered the kitchen I realized that I had left my phone at a friend's desk... So I turned around to go back and get it... As I was leaving the kitchen this white lady looks at me and says "What happened ? Didn't they order any vegetarian pizza ?"
I was so fri**ing pissed at her... llike, what the **** ! Just because I'm brown, does that mean I'm supposed to be a fri**ing vegetarian ?? I have never been so insulted in my life...
Here is my take on vegetarianism...
I am a hard core carnivore !! I absolutely detest vegetables of all shapes, sorts, and sizes !!
I firmly believe in the food chain... Plants feed on nutrients in the ground.... Animals and birds feed on plants... And humans feed on animals and birds... If I start eating vegetables, wouldn't that be breaking the food chain that God himself/herself designed ? Who am I to mess with his/her will ?
I believe that if everybody on this planet were vegetarians, then wouldn't we all be depriving animals and birds of their food ? Since they can't possibly compete with humans for the same food, they would probably all starve to death... Oh, those poor things.... I shudder to think of that... Sigh... ;)
Of course, its not like I don't use vegetables at all in my cooking... Vegetables have very good decorative value... Bell peppers, spinach, tomatoes, etc, all make my food really colorful and hence more appetizing... :D
Also, I just hate those "eggetarians"... They are nothing but hypocritical fri**ing abortionists !! Why can't they just let that poor little egg develop into a chicken, live its life to fulfillment and then serve a more noble cause (my dinner:)) in its death ?
Now here's the downside to it all... The other day I went to get a medical checkup... Got the result back... My good cholestrol is practically non-existent and my bad cholestrol number is through the roof... The doc scolded (yes, literally scolded) me about my diet and told me to quit red meat for a while... :((
As they say (And I quote my favourite hindi line)... "Jab Naseeb Aay Gandu, Tab Kya Karega Bechara Pandu"...

Brown=Vegetarian...you're right on about that assumption. A lot of times I've been warned (in a compassionate, condescending manner)- "There's meat in it"...oh yeah?for real?! it better be loaded with meat lady, 'cos I ain't ordering no lasagna 'cos it sounds good when you repeat my order.
Good blog dude...btw you're my second tag victim.
Finally, the post that was long overdue.
Your kindness to the animal kingdom is unsurpassed......who'd gv up veggies just thinking about a shortage of food for those poor, no one to care for animals.
Cholesterol...whatever. The tongue has to be appeased.
I am vegetarian. I eat eggs since I came to france. I am the worst kind eh..You hate me, of course. Lol!
@m3
dammit m3, why did you have to tag me ? as i said in my first blog, i am completely incapable of publishing anything remotely intelligent, artistic or articulate... anyway, i will definitely give this poetry-shometry tag business a shot...
@second_wind
yup, as a matter of fact, the SPCA did nominate me for a Nobel Peace Prize once...
unfortunately, the paparazzi in chicago somehow managed to get a picture of me putting a piece of brocolli in my mouth... i swear to god, i must have been completely stoned or wasted at that point of time... and someone may have taken undue advantage of my situation and may have convinced me that i was actually eating meat... if i ever get my hands on that SOB...
needless to say, the Nobel Foundation rejected my nomination after that picture was splashed all over the tabloids...
@crouching tigress
girl, as long as you keep swearing like the way you do, you will always be in my good books :)
considering the efforts you take to dissociate even a sliver of lettuce, the paparazzi must hv been reallllly good :))
