No apology needed. When I read something that I think I should understand but don’t, I think —is it possible that this phrase or thought really alluded me all these years? Especially in this case where I am a Pisces, a fisherman, a fish keeper, and a purveyor of bad habits

Back in college, I out of the blue became a vegetarian. No influence on me or a suggestion by anyone. Just like suddenly walking into the store and buying a motorcycle. I just wanted to do it so I did. I stayed a vegetarian for 13 years.

One thing I can say about it is, your ability, at least then, to eat fast food is diminished significantly.

You basically have pizza. Once you start getting into vegetarian Indian and Asian foods, and Burritos, for me it became much less “fast food”. I’ve been to Taco Bell exactly once and that was in August of 1994. You had to really work to find a place to eat outside the home which was a good thing.

Even now, I do try to limit “fast food”. So much of it is just very unappealing to me now. The last time I went to Burger King 6 years ago (first time since the 80s) I was on the NYS thruway and stopped. My cheeseburger was almost refrigerator cold. By then, only 45 seconds later, I was already back on the road so I tossed it out the window for the bears and have never been back. And won’t be. That’s how I am.

However, if something is really good……this is rare though
