The General Musings of Falkie2013 (George Senda, The Guy From Pittsburgh)

[Open Lines Gerry]

Speaking of head. 

Is that you OLG being dwarfed by the Sendahead?

No, that is unfortunately not Ol' Gerry himself.   I came across the mug shot somewhere - don't recall - and thought that the vacant - yet somehow menacing - facial expression was too amusing to not put it to good use.  I hope that it portrays my blind devotion to George, but this particular avatar "project" will soon come to an end.

It's ok if you picture Open Lines Gerry in your mind as appearing that way!  LOL

Then take your fight to the beers and leave Meatie Pie be.

Deal.

I was abhorred at the idea of eating animals while growing up.  No one in my family had apparently heard of vegetarianism, so I was just called weird.  I conformed and now am lost without meat.

[3OctaveFart]

I'm just worried about a possible iron deficiency, if I go full veg.
I don't want to have to rely on a tablet form of an essential mineral that has been in our diets for 40,000 years on the planet.

I do some of my shopping at a place down the road that's nothing but hippies. They say everything is free range and organic, but They ate far more expensive. The name is New or Open Harvest I think. Not  sure. It costs a bit more but you really can taste the difference. Their food tastes like food.

Same here. After decades meatless, just recently took up with some occasional bacon and a bit of chicken (the organic junk) but still have a difficult time consuming more than a taste of either. So far I haven't been able to eat beef but did enjoy a small portion of mostly disguised bison. I can't get near fish. I guess if meat was all there was to eat I would have withered away long ago.

You can get iron and protein and everything else you need from other sources. If I were to eat meat, I would make sure said meat is from small local farms, with grazing animals, even though that kind of meat coasts 4 times as much as regular meat. Still worth it to me.

Vitamins are a sham. Also, I think there are plenty of iron rich vegetables. Spinach I think? Dark leafy greens.

You just don't like fish?

[aldousburbank]

You just don't like fish?

Right. Just can't go for that.

[PathoJen]

P.S. I would never preach my vegetarian ways to anyone at all. It's strictly a personal preference. I work around the clock in animal rescue (as a volunteer)., so my reasons are strictly based on my own moral compass.

[PathoJen]

Right. Just can't go for that.

I feel you. I only like sea bass, and I have to catch it myself, fresh from the ocean. And I've only caught a sea bass once, and it was a baby so back it went. needless to say, I don't eat much fish.

My moral compass is in the shop for repairs. I just eat everything I enjoy.

[3OctaveFart]

I had bison rillettes at a delightful French restaurant in a 350-year-old building a few years ago.
That is the kind of shit I would really miss if I went vegetarian.
It's just not much fun crushing beers while eating your greens.

Eyenoeyeno and PaleHorse took this hippie out for sushi recently, trying to expose me to the finer things in life. I appreciated seeing them enjoy their sushi but it was largely a fail for me.

Please tell me you at least tried something! California roll perhaps? There is a roll for everyone.

[aldousburbank]

Falkie, what is your take on the inculcation of flesh into the body as a dietary element?

[PathoJen]

MP you can eat french fries, and fried crap with your beers! That's always satisfying. I love tortilla too, I make homemade, thick corn tortillas all the time with refried beans, salsa, lettuce, cheese and tomato, it needs no meat.

I tried. I guess I enjoy straight up Nori a much as I do a California roll. I just don't get sushi. Of course I don't get a lot of things.

[PathoJen]

I work hard to maintain my avatars hourglass figure.

He's for it.

[PathoJen]

Art hates vegetarians.

Now you're making me think of Mexican food.
I miss Mexican terribly. I live in a large city but they just don't do it well here. It's not in their blood.

It's not iron you have to worry about, it's some of the amino acids

[Daggit]

I'm glad the Falkie thread has degenerated into a discussion on the merits of vegetarianism. Falkie will love that. Carry on hippies.
