DAY 10: The Adventures of a Vegan Carnivore

Original Post Date: Thur, Mar 3 2011

I’m feeling a little cheeky today. My co-workers have been rubbing their meat-eating ways in my face, my roommate apologizes for it and my mother just laughs :). She sent me this great joke that I knew I wanted to post on the blog eventually and today is the day!!

But first, things first.  Today was … interesting. I had some business meetings in Sacramento, which made it impossible to eat on a schedule. No snacks at all! But, I wasn’t really hungry anyway. The detox is designed to eat small meals throughout the day, which is technically how we should be eating – vegan or not. I feel like I’m eating all the time and thus, I never experience that hunger feeling. However, this whole no snack thing did NOT go over well in my workout. My energy just wasn’t there. Blah!

And on that note … I give you the infamous joke: 

Our teacher asked us what our favorite animal was, and I said, "Fried chicken."

She said I wasn't funny, but she couldn't have been right, because everyone else in the class laughed.

 

My parents told me to always be truthful and honest, and I am. Fried chicken is my favorite animal. I told my dad what happened, and he said my teacher was probably a member of PETA. He said they love animals very much. I do, too. Especially chicken, pork and beef.

Anyway, my teacher sent me to the principal's office. I told him what happened, and he laughed, too. Then he told me not to do it again.

The next day in class my teacher asked me what my favorite live animal was.

I told her it was chicken. She asked me why, just like she'd asked the other children. So I told her it was because you could make them into fried chicken.

She sent me back to the principal's office again. He laughed, and told me not to do it again. I don't understand. My parents taught me to be honest, but my teacher doesn't like it when I am.

Today, my teacher asked us to tell her what famous person we admire most.

I told her, "Colonel Sanders." Guess where I am now...???

Closing thought … I love my mom. She’s funny!!
