Getting A Cold
I have been fighting a cold this week and the cold has been kicking my butt. I stayed home from work part of Tuesday and all of Wednesday. One guy at work wanted me to wear one of those Asian bird flu masks that are so popular now. I refused because I couldn’t breathe that well and thought that I might die. He’s a carnivore that gloated about my cold misfortune. As a vegetarian it's hard to admit that I have poor health. Some people say, "If you ate some meat you wouldn't get sick". That’s when I remember what the famous vegetarian Gandhi used to say, “Bullshit”. “Everyone gets colds”. I know plenty of meat eaters who also get sick. I went the health food store and got oregano oil, odorless garlic, zinc caps, and something called Vita Biotic. After taking all of the above for a week I feel much better so I feel that I beat the cold. At least I didn’t die….
