One day, a coach named Rob got the news that he was going to lunch with his friends. He ended up getting there a little late and expected to see his co-coaches there already. When he got there, he noticed that his co-coaches were not there. He asked the waitress if a couple of guys were there before hand and she said, "No, get away from me." He realized his friends had played a joke on him because they had done this once before. He was angry for a little while, but he decided to sit down and eat anyway. He ordered many things. He got a nice steak, a roast beef sandwich, and a bacon burger with fries. After all that food he was semi-full. He got home later that night and was not feeling very well. He rushed to the bathroom and started to puke up everything he ate earlier during the day. He believed the reason he puked was because meat was evil. He thought to himself, "I will never eat meat again." After his sudden realization, he tried to spread the idea of vegetarianism to everyone he saw. He went on the town bus just to preach about the wrongs of meat and they looked at him, and then proceeded to spit on him. After that embarrassment, his confidence in spreading the idea of vegetarianism was a little down, until he saw one of his co-coaches on the street going for a nice jog. He went up to him and asked him about the whole lunch situation and the co-coach named Tom, just laughed. Then Rob asked him if he would consider being a vegetarian with him because he didn't want to be the only one of his friends to be one. Tom thought about it and then said, "Of course Rob, meat is evil." Rob was very happy that he wasn't the only one of his friends to be a vegetarian.
Since that day thirty years ago, Rob has not eaten a single piece of meat. He and his friend Tom go out to lunch everyday to the Vegan Shack and eat hummus covered carrots. Vegetarians Unite!
