Fish...Yay or Nay?

Did you know that some male fish are taking on female characteristics due to water pollution? Weird, and kind of gross. A couple of weeks ago I wanted to go swimming in a lake, but I think I am ok not doing that. In my head it goes like this: I go for a lovely afternoon swim and I come out and all of a sudden I care way too much about sports. And I can't pick up after myself (I admit here, I am stating stereotypes). Or worse, I come out of the lake with a penis.

You want to know what are awesome. Japanese bread crumbs. They are kind of like the breading used on coconut shrimp. You want to know what sounds awesome. Coconut shrimp. I wonder if I should place an order at Red Lobster.

Wait a minute…should I get shrimp? What if the males have female characteristics? Is it ok to eat hermaphrodite shrimp? Do shrimp have a sex?

Damn my inquisitive nature.

But fish is so good!!!!! And the more we talk about it, the more I really want some coconut shrimp.

And I would get in sooo much trouble from someone if I told the boys that. Besides, Logan would just roll his eyes and tell me "whatever" with the look on his face.

It's not fair. You can't even do it the old-fashioned, natural way anymore. I can't go and catch a fish with my bare hands and eat it because I'll grow a penis. I can't break a chicken's neck because of salmonella. I can't kill a cow because I don't have a gun. Vegetable have pesticides. Lean Cuisines have sodium.

find a local framer's market. I'm trying out ours tomorrow. I thought I was a bean eater b4. Now, I'm REALLY on board with the stinky hippies.

I need some patouli
