Theos-Talk Archives (April 1996 Message tl00862)

In the summer of 1987, I was afflicted with an extreme attack of
open-mindedness (a condition not dissimilar to having an empty head) and
decided to try a vegetarian diet up at the convention at Lake Geneva.
I was lucky to escape with my life (a situation I find myself in often for
some bizarre and inexplicable reason) and when I expressed my distaste for
the lifestyle to Ed Abdill, he said, "Don't judge vegetarian food by what
they have here."
I responded, my voice rising several octaves, "You mean it can get worse?!?!"
"Not likely," Ed answered with his wicked little grin.
Then they moved convention back to Olcott....
I think I'll stay a carnivore.  It is undoubtedly inconvenient for the poor
cattle, but I'll be happier, and if I inherited Grandpa's genes, I'll live a
lot longer.  He lasted well into his nineties and never touched a vegetable
in his life, unlike my poor father whose diet required him to eat some and he
died in his early sixties.
