I don't really know how this works yet.
what i do know is that I was eager to express my intrigue with the guatemalan caterpillar i just encountered as I lifted a deliciously plump blackberry to my mouth. appalled, i froze, the pimple sized creature staring intently into my eyes. we had a moment.
after learning that these delicate berries were harvested under the child labor in guatemala, i got sad. not only for the children who, under extremely horrific conditions, forgot to wash these blackberries clean of such creatures as a caterpillar, but for the caterpillar himself. he had been in my fridge, clinging to this berry for the past 3 days, anticipating his doom.
i guess i don't know how to handle the situation. it seems like a lose-lose situation. if i eat the berry, i will be knowingly denying my meatless lifestyle, put i will be putting the poor caterpillar out of its misery. on the other hand, if i don't eat it, the caterpillar will continue to freeze his little antenae off. ultimately, my landlord will probably find it and eat it. either way, there is a dilemma.
any advice?
