Yesterday, I went to a very beautiful wedding--absolutely gorgeous. After the ceremony there was some foods to nosh on; so I walked over with my friends.
We got to the food table and my friends were disappointed to see that they had to wait because most of the food needed to be replenished. I hopped right into line and started taking some portions, but my friend pointed out that a lot of stuff was gone.
I pointed out that the stuff missing was all the stuff with meat in it.
So I continued on my way, filled my plate with lactosucrovegetard friendly fare, and as I walked back towards our table, I pointed to my plate and said, "Benefit of being vegetarian."
It took almost 10 more minutes before my friends made it back to the table.

10,000 Burgers
Last night my brothers and I went to the OC Super Fair. It was a ton of fun, but a Lactosucrovegetard's nightmare.
If there is a "second hand smoke" for vegetarians, I am pretty sure I got a very unhealthy dose of it last night. I am pretty sure I saw the world's largest grill, more fried food than an entire country should have and a cow so large it was proudly advertised that it would make "10,000 Burgers."
Is anyone else really appalled by that? This is a living creature, a still living breathing creature--and yet we still have to relate it to what people can consume. Turn a beautiful living breathing creature into nothing more than a dead carcass and dinner.
The fair was not a total loss. I did have the best ear of corn ever, complete with hot sauce! I got to enjoy the lovely company of my brothers, ride the ferris wheel and see some amazing woodworking. I also got to ride an elephant (don't worry, they were happy and healthy and the proceeds benefit an elephant sanctuary) and pet a bevy of wonderful farm animals. So if you go to the OC Super Fair, prepare yourself fellow Lactosucrovegetards, it's a trip.
