I did this by accident..and I realized that I don’t really have a strong desire for meat anymore. The problem is that after I tell my parents that I’m not eating meat, they insist on porkchops for dinner. I feel like “Jonfen” from Everything is Illuminated.
Jonathan: I’m a vegetarian.
Alex: You’re a what?
Jonathan: I don’t eat meat.
Alex: How can you not eat meat?
Jonathan: I just don’t.

Alex: No meat?
Jonathan: No meat.
Alex: Steak?
Jonathan: No…
Alex: Chickens!
Jonathan: No…
Alex: And what about the sausage?
Jonathan: No, no sausage, no meat!
Alex: [to Grandfather, in Ukranian] He says he does not eat any meat.
Grandfather: [to Alex, in Ukranian] Not even sausage?
Alex: [to Grandfather, in Ukranian] I know!
Grandfather: [to Alex, in Ukranian] What is wrong with him?
Alex: What is wrong with you?
Jonathan: Nothing, I just don’t eat meat!
