Excuses, when needed, was New veggie here

[Guest guest]

Actually, my favorite excuse is " Sorry, I'm allergic to beef and

pork, " which is absolutely true. BEfore I became veggie, I had allergy

tests to figure out why I kept ending up in the emergency room, and

that was it.

 

That doesn't get me off the hook with chicken and fish, but I can

always give them my first excuse and then add, " and I'm tired of

chicken and fish. "

 

I've become very fond of salads and I'm looking for a good lunch box

with lots of little compartments and boxes so I can have a day's worth

of food with me no matter where I go.

> Approved veg excuses for down south: " I'm dieting. " This works if

you are over a size 0.

> " It's my stomach, I can't handle meat. " Works really well but

there are ALWAYS idiots (friends and relatives) who KNOW better and

who will lovingly sneak meat into your food. (Trust me, this has

happened to me several times now.)

> " I only eat organic free range hand tenderized meat, fowl, fish

that has been harvested by means of the esoteric rites of the Great

Mammalammadingdong. " Try to look holy and spiritual when saying that.

Work on saying with a straight face.

> Finally, if all else fails, fall back on excuse one or wait till

you are at home and can veg out.

> PS: The dieting one works well only if you are not scarfing down a

supersize fries and a shake.
