Subtitle – are you still a vegetarian if…..
We have an iguana. Or rather Eric has an iguana. The iguana really doesn’t like anyone but Eric. When I go to the store, I buy cheap greens for the iguana. I also buy greens for me. For me, I usually buy organic prewashed salad mixes. The other day at Costco, I bought a large spring mix for me, and a package of romaine hearts for the lizard. Yesterday Eric asked if he could give the lizard some of my spring mix. Since it was about to expire, and I hadn’t eaten any yet (just not in a salad mood this week I guess), I told him to go ahead. Then he came to me with a smirk on his face and said, “Well I have to confess something to you. I opened your salad yesterday and then the lizard jumped in your salad and immediately jumped back out.” Um, what? Turns out, he grabbed the salad box, opened it, and went to the lizard cage with the salad in his hand. He intended to give the lizard a handfull, but the lizard apparently saw the tasty salad, saw his opportunity and lept out of the cage INTO my salad, ate a bit of it and lept out, back into his cage. Then Eric put the lid on MY salad and returned it to the fridge. Eric then decided not to tell me about this for at least 24 hours! What if I had wanted a salad for lunch??
