Based on what I've been told, Lindsay has never been a true fan of meat. In fact, when we began dating we would have "Red-Meat" high fives each time she would devour the muscle or flesh of an animal. She began consuming more and more, and I thought that soon I would be able to convert her into a "Meat"atarian.
However, slowly she was finding every and any excuse to skip out of the meat portion of our dinners, and then it got to a point where she refused to even attempt a bite. "Does this mean that you're turning into a vegetarian?" I asked her. "No, I'm not a vegetarian, I just gag every time I think about eating meat," she replied. Confused, and searching for the correct response, I blurted out, "But you have to eat meat, there are things in meat you can't get from anything else!" (Even though I was fully aware this wasn't true, I thought it was worth a shot). Obviously I forgot that my fiancee was a Biology teacher, as she stormed off to find proof that she would survive without meat.
My "Gag"atarian has been meat free ever since which makes our dinners (either at home or at restaurants) quite interesting. At home, I consume all the meat that is cooked, and Lindsay loads up on the vegetables. When we're out, we both order and then begin picking at each others plates with me completely ignoring anything colourful on my plate, and Lindsay bypassing anything that used to make a noise.
Just one more reason we're a good team I guess!
Vegans are pretty.
