Text: We are what we eat

Let’s try to imagine the life of a vegetarian, an individual of about thirty trying to be healthy, seeking a girl with similar testes, but so far unsuccessfully He gets up at seven o’clock, does his morning exercises, shaves his cucumber-like face, and has a scant salad with a glass of orange juice for breakfast Doing this he can console himself that he saves at least one and a half chicken, a bit of cheerfbl cow with big calm eyes, and provides his body with vitamins

Then he switches on the TV-set and sees ““Pelmeni Bogatyrskie” - tasty and helpful for your health!”, “McDonald’s hamburgers - everything you need and even more!”. This all affects the man’s nerves and stomach. But he is a strong- willed person: soy-beans, bananas, cuccumbers, tomatoes... stop! No cucumbers - it s winter now, and this means that cucumbers are genetically designed Ml of nitrates (even caterpillars die from the smell), in spite of their shiny look. So the poor victim of vegetarianism has to be satisfied with oranges, and grows thinner and weaker than a dystrophic top-model.

In summer - oh! He comes to the Caucasus to rest and admire its beauty But he is considered a madman who is going to commit suicide, because it’s really impossible not to taste the wonderful, delicious, healthy meals, full of meat and cheese in all variations. By the way, isn’t this food a special secret of the famous Caugasian longevity?

At last, sitting at the table with a beef-steak in one hand and a carrot in the other the man can choose according to his stomach and a piece of friendly advice.
