Green Reception
Really, tofu salad and crackers don’t sound all that bad. Don’t get me wrong, folks… I love me some Vegetarian-type food… yes, I do… But Randie is one of them junk-foodies.

Funny how quick her hunger and poopedness flew out the window.
I like health food all right, but I can’t stand tofu, never could. Give me nuts and berries, and I’m happy.
I am no health aficionado myself, but I am coming to a point in my life where I realize that having the same devil-may-care attitude of my youth may cost me years of longevity and perhaps it is time to exercise a bit of moderation.
I still eat meat (to paraphrase Charleton Heston, you can have my steaks when you pry them from my dead cold hands!) but perhaps relegating beef to a periodic treat rather than a daily staple is in order. Goodbye cheetos, hello sun chips. Ice cream? We had a beautiful time, but you are now just a summertime fling, no more are you my steady. And Mt Dew has been my sustenance (I still call it “geek fuel”) for so very long – but now I go to work not with a 24oz bottle of the Fuel, instead I carry a 32oz bottle of store-brand flavored water (tonight’s choice is sparkling black cherry, with natural fruit flavor and Splenda!).
Sucks getting old. Meh, I can adjust. 😀
Yeah, I had myself a salad at the all you can eat buffet at a local salad eatery for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
It always annoys me when people assume vegetarian food must be either tofu or quorn (do you get quorn on your side of the pond? Hopefully not, it’s revolting.) There’s such an incredible variety of vegetables, pulses, and such that you could never touch meat and still never have the same meal twice. It’s even worse when vegetarians themselves do it.
Not that I am one, mind. The only way you’d take away my craving for delicious animal flesh is a lobotomy, and that’s only a maybe.
Stick,
Just ’cause she’s hungry doesn’t make her open to what she sees as bland, ucky food. Hunger-induced crankiness is something to see, for sure. I myself have been known to kill small children due to low blood sugar snarlies.
Hunger is the best sauce. You’d be amazed what you find edible when hungry enough.
stick… see panel one.
chug… I actually like tofu when it’s prepared correctly. I do prefer the firm stuff, though to the gloopy stuff.
G-Wolf… Sun Chips are one of those snacks that I could eat thru the whole bag. They are more satisfying than Cheetos or corn chips… but I think they have a lot of salt. Moderation is a good thing… but I don’t always do it so well.
squid man: Salads can be quite exciting! Mmmm…
sm Dave… Yah… Randie is one of them peoples. She is closed minded about healthy food. It is a flaw she has… and it is nowhere near my own thinking on the matter. I don’t eat red meat (well, hardly ever… messes with the digestion) and quite often I enjoy veggie life-styling. If you have a JUNK food lifestyle (you’ve trained your tongue) and the healthy stuff actually tastes differently to you. You crave salt, and fat and… okay… I’ll stop.
Jude… ’tis true. If you are HUNGRY… you might be disappointed with foods you deem unworthy. If you want steak and you get salad… you might be a bit peeved.
Mary… yah, bugs, strands of grass, tree bark…
Dave… Mmm, quorn on the cob with salt and some melted butter on it, or even with some barbecue sauce. And then there’s hot buttered pop-quorn when watching a movie. Ahh the joys of healthy eating?!
jude… (stick with a lower-case “s” please, as I sign my name all lower case and commonly write that way too, thank you)
I’d think that killing small children would be frowned upon in your teaching profession. Hopefully your principal doesn’t read this blog.
brig… Well, technically the strip is a single panel today with a curious floating frame in the middle, but yes, I saw it and was contrasting the left side with the right. And on that topic, it’s also scary how fast Randie snapped from lethargic depressed to hurtful manic at even a hint of tofu.
As for the reception, I’m expecting a tofu wedding cake.
“It is a flaw she has.” That’s no flaw.
“Healthy” and “organic” fad eating doesn’t actually help you live years longer than you otherwise would. It just seems longer.
“Hunger is the best sauce. You’d be amazed what you find edible when hungry enough.”
Sounds like dwarf bread in Terry Pratchett’s Diskworld series of comical fantasy novels.
Kill’im and leave’im in the woods. Those Portland squirrels will pick his bones clean before the police can ID him.
I bet I couldn’t strike up a sports conversation at that wedding.
Ha… I see two camps emerging (that’s woodsy talk… we ARE in the woods)…
camp one: Yay health food
Camp two: boo hiss on health food… give me Doritos.
M-Lonie… It reminds me of that Diet guy fella who touted healthy eating and exercise (notably running) and then feel over dead at 40-something.
stick… tofu wedding cake. Hmmm… well… close.
Squirrels, Dada… are DEADLY. If you’re not careful, the PDX squirrels will hunt you down and have you for lunch.
Jack… blank stares.
