October is National Vegetarian Awareness Month.
So here’s my question –
Do vegetarians have a keener or duller sense of awareness than those of us in the
omnivorous camp?
Okay, that one was probably left over from Ask a StupidQuestion Day. My apologies.
At any rate, let’s begin celebrating that awareness right
here, right now.
You know, I once sat next to a real live vegetarian at a
friend’s wedding reception.
“I’m a vegetarian,” he said. I think he wanted to make sure
that I was aware. Then he proceeded to tell me that he did not eat anything
with eyes.
“Hmmm,” I said, biting my cheek to keep from mentioning the
half-eaten potato on his plate. It was a festive occasion after all, and I
didn’t want to cause some kind of vegetarian scene.
Well, my job here is done – you have been made aware of
those gentle souls among us who forgo the use of their canine teeth.
And hey, I have no idea how these national months get
established…
But… well… there’s another bit of awareness I think I ought
to mention –
October is also...
National Pork Month.
PROMPT: Pork
Lover meets Aware Vegetarian – and look out! This would be a great way to give
yourself a dialogue workout. What happens? Could they, would they… fall in
love?
What about your Work in Progress – are there any hairy,
scary, vegetarians in the mix?
Disclaimer: Any insinuation
that all vegetarians are hairy
and/or scary is completely unintentional…I just like saying hairy, scary
vegetarian.
Disclaimer #2: No
animals and/or vegetarians were harmed in the making of this blog.
