It’s 11:00 am an otherwise ordinary day, the time when a young man’s thoughts turn naturally to lunch. Your stomach gives a rumble and you think “Man, I could eat a horse”. Then you stop as the gravity of that thought sinks in. You’re a vegetarian. You wouldn’t eat a horse. And yet there’s no vegetarian equivalent – if you’re a vegetarian, not only are you limited in your dietary options, but you have no way of demonstrating to people just how hungry you are.
This is a double whammy. Something must be done. We need a vegetarian representative of a horse. Let’s hear your thoughts.
Are we talking vegetarian or vegan here?
@ CMD
“I am so hungry I could eat Pokey!”
Pokey wouldn’t be gluten free, though.
“I’m so hungry I could eat a cord of wood.” ??
If you could eat a horse, you’d be out of luck in California. My first election here in 1998 had a ballot measure that made buying or selling horses for human consumption illegal. You can still make them into pet food, but not people food.
@ Jordan, I suppose it doesn’t need to be but then people might argue that we need a vegan version of that saying too.
@K, I’m going to be ignorant here and ask what Pokey is
@ Justin, cord of wood is some very dedicated vegetarianism 🙂
How about: I can eat an entire rice paddy? tofu plantation?
@ Sumanth
Pokey is Gumby’s horse sidekick. They are made out of clay I believe.

@K, @Sumanth: And therefore he is made out of flour, salt, water, vegetable oil, and cream of tartar, which means he is vegetarian but not gluten free.
@ Jordan,
You crack me up today. A non gluten-free Pokey.
@ antfaber,
Is that just a cultural slant then? I don’t know that there is anything biologically wrong with eating horse meat, is there?
A corn field – less the critters,
A tree, A 10 lb. wheel of cheese, A bag of socks (good fiber), etc…
