A Declaration of Non-Vegetarian

Throughout the long weekend, we spent every evening having dinner with different friends. Tonight, we went to a vegetarian restaurant. Last time when I was taken by friend to a vegetarian place, I whined a little bit at the beginning. Then I was pleasantly surprised by the green salad there. Probably because I made a conscious decision today to be open-minded, the other side of me started to act up. As soon as I sat down, I started to miss the meat. I could easily forget about meat. However, browsing through the whole menu, you keep being reminded by words like "mock beef", "mock chicken", "mock pork"... Can't they just make something in pure vegetarian imagination? The whole meal contained soy products in various forms and shapes to fake nothing else but meat. They were all carefully imitated and not the least tasteless. By the end of it, you felt that you were fooled. After our pricy vegetarian dinner, I declared that I will not become a vegetarian. I am so lucky that I don't have to be one, either because of the health or moral consideration.
