Vegan Week: Day 4

Today I was invited to yet another free lunch, and for the second straight day I had to completely alter my meal preference. This is no joke--I actually had to order a sandwich called "Good Things Growing!" Never in my life have I ordered something this crazy at a restaurant. It had cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, onion, 2 inches of sprouts, and a few other random veggies from the garden. I had to order it without cheese of course.

While I was eating it, all I could think about was how sad and terrible a rabbit's life would be. Just rummaging through a farmer's garden...looking for something to eat...looking for "good things growing." It was a nightmare. I ended up inhaling a freaking sprout and it got lodged halfway down my throat. I coughed and coughed and my eyes began to water, but that stupid thing wouldn't move. I finally dislodged the sprout and choked the rest of the sandwich down. Of course for dinner I enjoyed an apple and a Gatorade since I didn't have time to prepare a vegan meal. I got home and ate a box of Cracker Jacks and had some Postum. I'm still hungry and waiting for a huge meat feast in the near future. I am very tempted to bring back "Meat Week" which was a fairly successful undertaking a few years ago.

Likelihood of torturing a dog: 35% (Things are going in the wrong direction! I didn't know what to expect at the beginning of this experiment, but I think I now know where they are headed.)
