I've not read the book. Thanks for the tip.
Also, besides not eating meat and chicken, I have a beard and wear Birkenstocks. Go figure.
It's o.k. One of my good conservative friends is a semi-vegetarian (like you, fish but no fowl or meat) because she likes it that way. My parents haven't eaten red meat for years because it seems to disagree with them as they have gotten older.
That just means more Red Meat for me and my hubby (YUM!) But I do own a pair of Birkies and my hubby (VRWC ex-Army dude) wears a full beard (mostly 'cause he hates to shave.)
