I'm reminded today that everything is a matter of perspective: Being able to take a step back and see the bigger picture, to imagine ourselves in someone else's shoes - this is what separates us from the animals. Specifically, birds.
Take for instance a tasty lunch. You might enjoy, like I did today, this delicious deep-dish pizza from
Classic Chicago Gourmet Pizza in Irving, TX. Called "The Great Chicago Fire", it comes with spicy sausage, sport peppers, garlic, cilantro and mozzarella cheese. It was eye-wateringly, nose-runningly good, and it has a ton of cilantro (which I love). Pair it with a house salad and a Coke and voila: tasty lunch.

| Added bonus: it had a nice crisp crust and wasn't oily/greasy. |
On the other hand, if you're a bird your idea of a tasty lunch might be something more like this:
 |
| Um, pardon me garçon, but... |
A mealworm cake (yum!) we spied while shopping for bird feeders at Home Depot. It's main ingredient, as you might have figured out by now, is mealworms, but it's also packed with the goodness of sunflower chips and gelatin. So there's that.
It just goes to show that one bird's meat is another man's poison, so to speak. And while we may not see eye to eye, the important thing to remember is we've all got to eat.
To each his own, live and live, etc. etc.

| "Not for human consumption". Thanks for the heads-up, but I don't think you have to worry about that - my first thought was not "Yum, the things that tequila goes around." |
