I THINK
I'm NOT trying to be VEGAN
I am
NOT really
DOING
a SYSTEM
I'm BUILDING a
SYSTEM
AND
the PROTEIN thing
SEEMS to have
PRODUCED
RESULTS*
*although my quick and dirty approach of throwing multiple variables into the mix never really give completely uncomplicated results
CHLORELLA
for example, has PROTEIN, but also has
DETOXING
& GROWTH HORMONE
SO
if I feel like I've had
SOME positive
CHANGE
I couldn't REALLY say it was the protein, ya know
I KINDA think
my personal interpretation
PROTEIN is important
BUT
high ANIMAL based
is not how
I prefer
to
EAT
I ENJOY
a meat FEAST
BUT
not CONSTANTLY
I've been leaning HARD into LENTILS
but I GOTTA do SOMETHING else
OR I'll go OFF em
TEMPEH
REPRESENTS
SOMETHING to me
MAYBE
it's that it
INTERSECTS
MULTIPLE
INTERESTS
I WANT to
LOVE
this STUFF
BUT
HONESTLY
I have a hard time getting past the look of it
it's the kind of thing that happens
SOMETIMES
when you encounter something with no childhood
ANALOG
I MEAN
if you can
EAT
cheese...
I LOVE cheese
SO I understand that you DON'T
READ
the original
FOOD STUFFS
as spoiled
because
THEY aren't-- they have transformed
into ANOTHER
SUBSTANCE
which you
JUST
RECOGNIZE if you GREW UP with it
BUT
you can MAKE tempeh
I THINK renewable
LIKE sourdough
FOREVER
with a variety
of BEANS
& GRAINS
SO
THAT
FITS into
EVEN more
I don't know if any of this makes any sense
it's LIKE
TEMPEH is where it's AT
YOU are
HOLDING the PARTY
HOSTAGE
with your pig-headed refusal to get behind TEMPEH
I MEAN
that's what it was like
when I saw it
in the
imperfect produce shopping
