At a recent luncheon, a good friend said, "I really like to share dishes," but her order of a dish with a dead animal was the reason we didn't. The other three of us ordered plant-based dishes. (Yes, I know that "Dead animal" sounds gross, but what caged animals go through is worse than gross.)
Then a carnivore friend asked me to forward a message suggesting a lunch with the three of us and saying that he'd let me choose a place that fit carnivore-him as well as my "dietary needs."
I decided not to let this slip by, and when I forwarded his email message inviting her, I wrote, "Notice that in spite of his intelligence (which we all find remarkable), he refers to my cause for the environment and animal welfare as my "dietary needs."
