Anyway, apparently cats are to blame for this.
And raw meat too, I guess.
"Animals are infected by eating infected meat, by ingestion of feces of a cat that has itself recently been infected, and by transmission from mother to fetus."
That is why I no longer eat pussy.

I had to look up every one of those. . .
and you have not eaten sushi! Not any more than people who eat "California rolls" and stuff with cream cheese on it.
You gotta try the Mackerel, the Snapper, The Yellow-friggin'-Tail! . . . .I'm honestly drooling just talking about this. . . . *convulsions*

But really, even if it isn't something you grew up eating, limiting yourself to a childhood diet is surprisingly parochial for somebody willing to travel across the world and LIVE in a country you didn't grow up in. If you have no moral obligation to vegetarianism, you can at least TRY a variety before making an assessment. Avoiding something out of the presumptive fear you won't like it could just be keeping you from all kinds of meals you could well love.
You can't decide you dislike anything until you've put it in your mouth at least once!

GoB's gonna ask if I'm gay again.

And, obligatory troll comment: Hitler was a vegetarian. You aren't a Nazi. . . are you?
