Vegetarians: 2 Carnivores: 0

This weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to work on the set of a music video. I designed and made a dress for the artist, and had a wonderful time!

The first day of filming, I became friends with the 2nd AD, who was also the person ordering lunch. Just so happens, she's a vegetarian too.

So, she ordered us special dishes. While everyone else fought over plates of fish tacos, we each had our own plates with veggie burgers and fruit salad.

So I say...

Vegetarians: 2
Carnivores: 0

For people who kill things...and the non-lactosucrovegetards...

Hello,

I am a vegetarian. I understand you have not made the same choice I have, and while I judge you slightly--I do not initiate verbal judgment on you. I may engage in a playful argument over the benefits of Vegetarianism and how terrible it is to kill just to eat, but I try my best to not be mean or judgmental.

So please, do not repeatedly point out that "dead animals taste great."

Maybe they would say the same of you.

And please, it is not by my choice that I cannot eat dairy. It's genetic...seriously. I used to love cheese...and chocolate milk. Not soy milk...honest-to-God from the cow milk with Hershey's syrup. But it does not love me back.

I am also not a sucrotard by choice. Processed sugar makes me ill. Literally. I get sick. If you got sick every time you ate something, you would stop, right?

So, before you think me pretentious or too "hippie," think about the fact that many factors have led me to these decisions.

But yes--I am a vegetarian mostly for ethical reasons. Why should a living creature have to die for me to eat? It is not necessary. And no, my cats are not Vegetarians--it is NECESSARY for them to be carnivores.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Lisa
The Original Lactosucrovegetard
