Ethel's Dilema

I've decided to appropriate a story from my good friend Lucy who had this fascinating discussion with her Spanish class. Lucy is a vegetarian. I'll relinquish this dialogue back to her when she writes her book.

Student: So what do you eat at Thanksgiving if you don't eat meat?

Lucy: I eat everything but the meat.

Student: So you just eat salad?

Lucy: No, I eat everything but the turkey - potatoes, green bean casserole.....

Student: But what if they started making the vegetables out of meat?
