Time for Tuna

It is second lunch so I'm not working and I'm eating a sandwich. It happens to be a Tuna sandwich. I"m not a huge fan of tuna. It tastes kind of gross, but it's loaded with protein. If I add enough chopped up pickles it pretty much just tastes like mushy pickle sandwich...which is more acceptable. Anyway, as fun as sandwiches are, they aren't exactly the reason I started to write this post. However, the tuna did inspire me in a strange way. It got me thinking about how it is dolphin safe...which made me wonder what dolphin tastes like, and if it tastes better than tuna. Then I started to wonder why it's better for the world if we don't eat dolphin, but we do eat tuna. I guess technically a dolphin is not a fish, it's a mammal....but other than that I don't see a lot of difference. Dolphins are a better looking fish no doubt, but I'm guessing a ground up can of dolphin looks a lot like a ground up can of tuna. I'm sure the hypocrisy of eating tuna over dolphin has been discussed before, and with much gooder grammar, but the hypocrisy is what brought me to my main thought. Why do humans invent ways to feel guilty? Eating meat is perfectly natural. Our teeth and digestive systems must be built for it. True our teeth and digestive systems allow us to eat plants as well, but if we weren't evolved to eat meat, we wouldn't be able to. I'm not saying being a vegetarian is wrong in anyway. I applaud them for having much more self control than me. Being a vegetarian is better for you, mostly because with meat comes fat, but plant proteins are not as good as animal proteins....and they don't taste nearly as good. I can't tell you how many times I've been told, "try this tofu burger...it tastes just like a real burger." Um...nope...they don't. Now I am ragging on vegetarians and it wasn't my goal...I'm just commenting on how we have invented a lot of rules that don't seem necessary...rules that I'm to which I am not immune. Just think of the rules we have imposed on ourselves for really no reason at all...the small things like, wearing a tie. Wearing a tie apparently means you are dressed up...why? It just looks better right? but why? If wearing a flowered Hawaiian shirt was the norm of dressing up, would all CEOs look like tourists? Is it the tie that makes them look ready to do business, or is it years of people ready to do business wearing ties that has made it that way? What about all the rules of words? Why make a "C" and a "K" when they have the same sound? Why change the sound of "C" in the word "ice" when we have an "S" which already makes that sound? Why is the word "feces" more polite than the word "poop" and "poop" more polite than "shit?" They all mean the same thing! Have you ever considered if the word "fuck" wasn't made a dirty word we wouldn't say it so often? What does the word "fuck" even mean? To have sex? Then why is it when my email isn't working I'll say out loud, "Ah, FUCK!" Am I really saying, "AH, HAVE SEX!" That doesn't even make sense. It's just an expression of rage...an expression I say because I'm not suppose to? I'm not supporting anarchy here. I believe we have to follow these rules, now that they are in place. I also believe that if they were never invented they would not be missed.
