If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian. ~Paul McCartney
I respect my vegetarian friends. I'm impressed with them for having the fortitude and determination not to eat anything that might run swim or fly away if they had a chance. They suggested this First.
Still, I am a meat eater. I grew up in a household where my mother bought a huge freezer for the basement so we could buy a half a cow at a time. My father insisted on red meat at the table every night. (yes, that's insane.)
I eat red meat infrequently now (though i am not one to turn down a great burger or filet). But no chicken, turkey, fish, eggs???....AHH. So here I am around lunch time. Photographer Dave Bentley is questioning my game plan.
Listen, I like vegetables. I just don't consider vegetables a meal. So glad this is just for a day. Please forgive me my vegetarian friends. I'm not cut out for this.
