Friday Funny: Herb finds out he’s a vegetarian

HA! As a pescabisonarion I can relate (apparently bison faces don’t bother me? That’s weird.)

I got done at the gym at 4 - that weird time between lunch and dinner where you’re kind of hungry, but not hungry enough for a full meal. So I’m at the grocery store, and I come upon this vegan tofu blueberry knish. Sounds crazy, right? I mean, honestly, I don’t even know what a knish is (now I do!), but I wanted to break out of my standard snack rut and try something outrageous. Although a touch higher in calories than I would like, otherwise, this fit the bill perfectly. The name of the company really sealed the deal - Kisses Knishes. LOVE IT. I heated it up in the microwave for a minute and a half and ate what amounted to a blueberry muffin. It was good! If only I’d had some maple syrup and butter…but now that’s getting a little too crazy, even for me.

VEGANS AND VEGETARIANS (This could apply to you too, meat-eaters!):

Being veg does not necessarily mean you’re healthy.

Many people who transition to an animal-free diet automatically go out and buy every meat and cheese substitute they can find, without giving the label or ingredients a second thought. We shouldn’t be trying to imitate meat, we should instead be giving our body the fuel it needs by eating a whole food plant-based diet.

Learn to love fruits and veggies, whole grains, beans & lentils, nuts & seeds!

Ditch the processed foods, sugar, junk food, and fast food.

The same goes for organic - just because it’s labeled as such does not mean it is healthy. An organic cookie, is still a cookie! And a vegetarian frozen dinner, is still a boxed up, processed, frozen meal, just without the frozen meat!

Now listen, frozen meals and junk food are fine from time to time. Just don’t use the organic or vegetarian labels to think that it’s okay to eat them all of the time. Goodness knows I couldn’t live without some frozen mac and cheese once in a while (with ketchup, of course ;).
