Are you a veterinarian?

While hanging out in Greenville, NC last weekend the conversation turned to the discussion of food. We were talking briefly about where to get good meatless meals, and for the first time in many moons, someone in the room turned to me to ask if I was a veterinarian. I felt unprepared since it had been so long since I last received this response. I was proudly able to muster my inward laugh and there was no visible leakage of it to the outside world.

I guess I am a veterinarian. Just like everyday citizens are doctors because they aren't that in to cannibalism.

Tricky question of the week:

If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat?
