OLIVE TRYING NEW THINGS

i had some olives last night.  i don't even really like olives.  i haven't tried them in years.  really what i did was i learned to not like them.  i think my cousin said something when i tried them that made it not appetizing.  these ones i had though, they were really salty and i think that was added on top of the flavour.  i don't know what kind they were but they were purplish and they didn't have those pit things in them.  they  were chewy and kind of meaty.  i think i can learn to like them.  they were just so salty.  they also had virgin olive oil on them if i remember correctly.  just the idea of trying new foods is inspiring to me.  our tastes change over time and it's worth reconsidering things in general.  you know, maybe i developed the wrong opinion.  it reminds me of first impressions.  i'm not going to say which one is right because they both can be at times but we can be wrong about our first impressions sometimes as well as right.  it's always going to be yes or no anyway.  we aren't genius's with those kind of odds.

try something new.  i'm doing a new diet.  i cut out beef and chicken.  i do things for several reasons, and one of these, hombres is that i don't think i'd wanna kill for food all the time.  so if we as humans shape the world, that we are ultimately in charge of our destiny in evolutionary terms, why not phase out killing for food?  we have the technology!  i'm still eating seafood though.  i feel like a hypocrite.  i am i suppose.  but it's a process.  an evolutionary process.  another reason why is because it's bad for the environment.  it is horribly inefficient in ecological terms as many of you are aware.  go look for yourself.  i'm not going to push eco-propaganda on you now.  but how much does a f***ing cow eat and how much of the cow do you eat.  just be grateful for it's milk.  another big reason:  it's offensive to certain cultures.  not that you shouldn't do things because it offends cultures but because the cow is sacred.  somebody take care of that entry, ok?  

i think those are good enough reasons to make some changes.  plus i have a bet going.  i want to try mushrooms next.  i figure if i get olives and mushrooms down that that would really open up some pizza options for me and put some pizzazz in my life.  i suggest trying something new just to stir it up and keep things interesting.  you never know, you might find something you like: )
