I have spent over half of my lifetime munching on leaves to survive, you guys. I gave up meat when I was 12 – TWELVE! – and I’ve spent over a decade since learning to feed myself. Luckily, being a vegetarian comes easy to me because I could literally eat leaves for the rest of my life, AKA bowls of salad. What could be better than salad, after all? Fresh things in a big bowl! Crunchy, juicy, crispy, hydrating, refreshing, AMAZING shit in a bowl. I’d worry about what dressing to buy but I’m too busy drooling on myself.
