As I'm sitting here eating leaves of Romanian lettuce, that are lightly drizzled with balsamic vinegar I began to ponder. All the vegans I know smoke alot of weed, and then it dawned on me, perhaps the two are related in some fashion. I begin to think of how I am currently feeling, meat all in front of me ready to be cooked and eaten, yet the only food i long for is a light salad. Its crunch, the moisture you feel when cracking a fresh leaf, the bite of the vinegar when it reaches the back of your throat!!! In fact the thought of meat is not appetizing at the moment. Maybe its the weed that makes me feel like I should eat more "wholistically", I ask myself "maybe weed is the starting point for most vegans?" and if yes then why? Is it because we feel more in touch with nature? Is it our innate altruistic values wanting to better ourselves by respecting everything around us? Who knows, all I know is I don't usually think like this....... its kinda cool.
