So true of any faith, conviction, or charitable effort. I'll pick my own, thank you.

Since 1996, when I did my biggest weight loss (50lbs) I've managed to appear pretty much like an unremarkable-size person. I never get to "preach" about my dietary choices, because no one ever asks. I like coming here to share my woes and triumphs.

As for edibles "with a face"--this thread hasn't (as I recall) discussed insects as the future of protein. Locusts, tarantulas, crickets, ants have been food for humans from antiquity. Do they have faces?? Traveling in Asia, I once ate a tarantula (two, fried). I saw a picture of a kebab of tarantulas in the newspaper just yesterday. I figure anyone who can eat (and love!) soft-shell crab can deal with tarantula. But I don't see them coming to my neighborhood market anytime soon.
