Everyday Life

Description

A vegetarian is an adherent of the modern faith that purifies the self by renouncing meat and venerates vegetables as sacred. They extol nutritional virtues while casting wary glances at passing steaks. At the table, they perform a cunning ritual that marries moral absolution with self-promotion. Admirable in conviction, yet sometimes at the cost of true gustatory adventure.
