Ham *is* meat. No ham! Okay, I'll share with you the bit of my vegetarian story I left out of my journal. The ladies at lunch were quizzing me about why I don't eat meat and what kind of stuff I ate; you know, all the usual stuff. (It was mostly okay; they were nice, and when I told them I didn't want to kill animals they said I was very やさしい.) Then, out of the blue, after the conversation had segued to other topics, one of the ladies goes, "Oh, so you can't even eat sandwiches with ham on them?"
Yeah. I don't eat fish, but I eat ham. Ham's not an animal.
Also, this one woman went on and on about the high quality of fish at Costco. Then, five minutes later, when vegetarianism came up, she said that she was a vegetarian too. Five minutes after that, she slurped down the soup, bacon and all. But I'm sure that she doesn't eat meat.
Not only that, but I also got to hear about a slaughterhouse where you can choose your own meat while it's still a...sheep, I think. (I don't remember her mentioning the animal, but then later she said you could hear it crying めえ、めえ, so.) She was quite graphic about it. I almost asked her to stop, it was so gross. >.<
