The vegetarian

Met Henry in a recent party. Last time we met was over a year and during that time Henry had taken the green road, he had become a vege.

Laying there in the middle of the dinner table was a glorious full fledge devinely roasted chicken. She laid there with her juicy legs and oh such a smooth golden shiny body oblivious of the madness it was causing. Steam rose from it seducing everyone around to the point of no return.
A heavenly beauty, dressed in...umm heavenly roasted crunchy skin :D, a head turner if ever there was one...

I even thought she gave me a mischevious smile and a wink.. but that must have been my imagination, specially since she really didnt have a head :-o And I tend to get visions like that a lot whenever I am in close proximity of a she-form :-)

None could wait any longer, shinning forks and knives rose up catching a glint of light just before they dived and dug in the angel. Tearing, pulling, cutting, slicing, some grabbed the legs, some got the chest, others had to make do with the wings.

While this frenzy was going on, there in corner sat Henry eating chick peas !!!
Heresy!!, blasphamey..!!! bloody murder I said.. You dare insult the godess of dinner table by refusing to dig your teeth in her !
Henry just split another chick pea and said, "oh Ive given up meat. I am a vegetarian now."

Disbelief !!! Horror !!"..what..!!? How could you ? ,,but why..!?" came the shocked queries.
"I am doing it as a matter of principal. I respect life and think humans should respect other living creatures and not go around looking at them as food."

Philosophy..and so much of it...none of us could digest that..our stomaches were too busy dealing with the chicken at the moment..

Once the chicken had been sent to chicken heaven, and all that was left of its mortal remains were its sparkling clean bones. Sleeves were rolled back up and focus was set squarely on Henry.

"So you are saying plant arent living things ? "
"no,,.they are but they dont have blood"...replied Henry..
"what ?? no blood..!?? so you are saying its ok to eat cockroaches :-o !??"
Henry hadnt thought of that...and I realized I might have added another item on his edible life forms list.

"Well you have to draw a line somewhere, we humans have intelligence we dont need to eat other animals,we can live without eating them." bounced back Henry.
"hahh..maybe u can Henry..but not me !!"

This is just how the nature has designed the system, the vege way sound unnatural..so unnatural....
Ok there are those who do it out of their religious believes, I wont go there... But those who do it out of philosophy... I dont get it..

I just dont get it..why do ppl. become vegetarian..I guess in an ideal vege-world, a vege would like to see everyone growing his own food. Imagine a world where ppl. would walk out of the office in lunch hour and just go stand in the sun, as their bodies start generating food internally, and perhpas the manager would come pour a lil water on their heads from time to time, just to speed up the photosynthesis. !
That what you vege guys really want !?? Imagine a lion coming out of his den, and going standing in the water, as his ears do photosynthesis. oh yummy..says the lion...this sunlight is soo tasty today..!!!

Well you vege. folks go on do your photosynthesis, and leave me with my juicy steaks ...
