GREEN "EGGS" AND HAM

I never did believe a person's food preferences could change SO much until I experienced it myself.

All my good friends and family knows of my carnivorous habits, back when I was real....horizontally challenged (after all this time, I still can't bring myself to use the word "fat" or "obese" on myself). My adversion to anything green was well known. I'm the girl who eats veggies by the STRAND.

These slimmer days, I'm the original rabbit...or maybe cow or sheep. I shovel in vegetables by the pound. While I used to be upset by the non-appearance of meat in my meals, these days I'm more liable to feel weepy when I don't see enough vegetables in my lunchbox. The other day, Mum apparently ran out of meat and packed me a vegetarian lunch, with two types of vegetables and some rice....and I was happy....and at the same time, part of me was on the outside looking in and wondering who this vege-loving stranger was. It was a weird feeling.

Sis insists that I'm taking my diet a little too far. I guess she had some cause when I ordered tomato salad for my entre in a posh French restaurant, when there were stuff like scallops and lobster, and....and....foie gras!! on the menu for the choosing. And when I got upset when the waiter forgot my instructions to change the side of mash potato to mixed salad for my beef onglet main. But I couldn't help it. I want my veggies....

But animals needn't feel happy so early, I still love my meat too....
