From Vegetarians to Leather Trousers in One Seamless Move

Hi Children,

Recently, a vegetarian came into my life. Who I like rather a lot. I have to say that, because I am about to pan vegetarianism.

I used to be a veggie. Oh yes I did. I managed 10 years of vegetarianism. And during that time I was generally under the impression that what you put in your mouth was your own darn business and I was happy making lentil hot pot.

Now however, I just wish someone had fed me a bleeding steak and shown me what I was missing.

I believe vegetarianism may well come into its own several years in the future, when society has broken down and we are all stalking the desolate landscape stripped to the waist and wearing our post apocalyptic leather trousers* we will be able to hunt them on account of their being easy to catch and, let's face it, corn fed. But for now I think they are people who don't eat proper food. Vegetarianism is the domain of 15 year old girls. If you don't like that, go and blog about it to your emo mates on myspace.
Double standards? Yes. I can get my standards into double figures if I really try.

*Just watch any movie set in the future (Bladerunner, Mad Max etc) and you will note that everyone is wearing leather trousers. It appears that when society breaks down, technology becomes obsolete, particularly the technology required to make trousers out of cloth.
