I will never be a herbivore. I appreciate and applaud vegetarians who have selflessly given up meat and thus left more of it for me. I like seafood too. Crab meat and Fish cakes are my favourite in that category. Lobster meat is quite tasty as well but I can’t get rid myself of the unease I feel at the prospect of eating an organism after having seen it alive. It seems…. barbaric.<\/p>\n

This is hypocrisy, right ? Package the insides of a chicken, cow, lamb, lobster, etc. into small plastic wrapped styrofoam containers and I have no problem devouring it. But show me the animal I will be eating and I find it difficult and uncomfortable biting into it. I’ve pondered about it often but can’t arrive at any conclusion about why I feel this way.<\/p>\n

Harry<\/a> had no trouble<\/a> eating the lobster<\/a>, even though he is allegedly<\/a> allergic to seafood. Lunato and Harry enjoyed it thoroughly while Dooh screamed like a little girl and I politely declined and tried to enjoy the baked apple pie.<\/p>\n

Later on Dooh practiced<\/a> on the piano for a bit and managed to create a tune for himself. Good job!<\/p>\n

We completely forgot about the KICK YO ASS HOT! HABANERO POPCORN<\/em><\/strong> and Harry and Dooh left Toronto via GreyHound without trying it. Lunato and I had bought it a few days ago for Harry from Vaughn Mills Mall when we visited it with Lunato’s parents. I’ll mail it to Harry.. he likes challenging his massive digestive system with the spiciest food available on the planet.<\/p>\n
