Charlie was thinking of a major lifestyle change–going vegan at least two days a week.  All the medical journals said the Atkins-style diets, with all the red meat you can eat, had bad long term health effects.  He knew the rodents that composed the bulk of his diet were red meat, but he wasn’t too sure about snakes or frogs.  Still, even though it was good for him (or so they said), the idea of eating berries, fruits, seed, nuts or grass was making this a hard decision.  And what would the neighbors say? . . . .  David, Sf.G.
