You act like that's all anyone is allowed to eat.

LOL, so that means you can be as snooty smug as you want at those with
a more normal diet.

There are several here and I'll admit my budget doesn't stretch too far
since I'm having to pay out of pocket for a kid in college. I could
probably manage free range without that bill but in reality, we are low
meat eaters and 50% of what we do eat in that protien line is seafoods.

Chicken here is normally whole and I get to **** off the dogs and cat
because all 6 of us like dark meat best, so the dogs and cats get the
breasts (pesky white meat, useful only for chicken salads).

You on the other hand look set to place a battle if someone says they
can't afford your version of meat when you say you are vegetarian and
have no dog in that fight.
