Eat your vegetables,         be a proper girl Janet Kuypers 6/17/19 (on Eat Your Vegetales Day) People who don’t know me say I should be a more proper girl. They’ve seen me borrowing a bong in Nashville, drinking absinthe in New Orleans, and picking the strongest beers at every brewery. They smugly say if I were a proper girl I would “eat my vegetables”... so I think back to all the vegetables I eat every single day, and then I wonder how “proper” it is of them to have others mass produce and mass slaughter living creatures to satiate their daily desires for steak and bacon. As a vegetarian for decades, I wonder who defines what’s proper, coming from those who promote death in every meal. Because, I eat my vegetables, and still have fun.
