I know I shouldn't do it, but it's fine.

We both love all of those. To be honest, nothing that is in our diet is that original. We eat seafood but we do not eat shellfish. On the other hand, if my body says to me, "eat meat" I do. I listen to my body, I think that's important.

So we must refrain from giving pain, as our last gift to our fellows.
