Why do I not know any party of this kind where a million gallons of orange juice is consumed and hundred thousands of carrots and cauliflowers are eaten?

Why is enjoyment generally associated with losing control under the influence of alcohol and eating dead globe sharers?

By all means I am neither a tea total nor a pure vegetarian but I often wonder why it seems more exciting when the opposite is involved. Does eating and drinking pure sensible things make a difference on your personality? Old Hindu priests/sages most certainly thought so. They used to go to the jungle to meditate and pray. They believed that eating natural and unprocessed food like fruits and vegetables promotes calmer thoughts. It has to be true only up to a point I suppose. If there were no vegetarian murderers or trouble makers then I would have believed it but as that is not the case I will carry on eating what I do.

I would have made those statistics alter a little i.e. Chickens 459,280 had I gone. It isn't fair that just because I don't like beer and wouldn't eat an ox I wasn't allowed to go to the Beer Festival in Munich!
