Allura de la Cruz
27 March 2017 near Recollé
I've had a lot of patience with this, but I can't take it any more. I've tried to eat cruelty free for years now, and now even the fruits are dancing. No amount of screen detox time is going to fix this.

Elizabeth Wolf There's always bread. Unless you're counting carbs or trying to exclude gluten.

[ SHE'S TRYNG NOT TO BE A SMARTASS... but there's definitely some adjusting. ]

Allura de la Cruz I've always been more of a raw food person...

So this is... well. As you can see.

[ Ignore that late night typo.... ]

Elizabeth Wolf There should be imports, but if it's my guess — you'll still find a face on them.

Have you had anything decent to eat since this, uh, thing occurred?

Allura de la Cruz Well, yes. Just not as much as normal. No one else struggled with this?

Elizabeth Wolf I think people are getting use to the faces, so I wouldn't invest in produce stock. People are oddly okay with it... but, most of us are having issues.

My daughter hasn't touched the limes or lemons since they smiled back at her...

Allura de la Cruz Well, thank goodness it isn't just me. No one else seemed to think it was weird.

But it IS weird.

Elizabeth Wolf Undeniably so, miss. You're not alone in that!

There's been some oddities going on, there's no denying that, but we hopefully will have answers soon.

Eleanor Lamb They aren't really alive.
Eleanor Lamb They don't appear to feel anything.

Allura de la Cruz But they LOOK alive. I'm not used to my food... dancing... before I eat it.

Eleanor Lamb You just have to work through it. Once you start cutting them up they stop bouncing.

Allura de la Cruz Your... fortitude is commendable. I hadn't even tried, it weirded me out so much.

Eleanor Lamb It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
Eleanor Lamb You have to press down on an apple to peel it anyway.
Eleanor Lamb And they don't really resist or anything.

Allura de la Cruz Alright. I guess I'll try. I hope you're not wrong.
Allura de la Cruz But the dancing is still weird.

Eleanor Lamb I wouldn't lie about this.
Eleanor Lamb Fruit is too important to too many people!

Allura de la Cruz It's almost the entirety of my diet, outside of vegetables.
Allura de la Cruz I don't eat meat at all.

Eleanor Lamb Well, now you can keep eating it!
Eleanor Lamb I don't have the patience for that.
Eleanor Lamb Also cheese burgers are awesome.

Think of the faces as painted on. They are not alive.

Allura de la Cruz I still don't understand why this change happened in the first place. Even if they aren't alive.

It is a mystery that cannot be explained at the present time.

Allura de la Cruz Like... the chocobos.

Yes.

Perhaps look at the back of the fruit when you consume them, where there is no face?

James Barnes You know what, I can't even say anything this time, not after eating that one orange
James Barnes I was considering going cold turkey on fruit and everything.

Allura de la Cruz I know! I considered the same thing! But that would be too much.
Allura de la Cruz And what if vegetables are next??

James Barnes I guess I'll just go full carnivore, then.
James Barnes Sure, something is still dying for me to eat, but at least I don't personally have to do the killing myself.

Allura de la Cruz Wait! Don't just eat MORE animals...
Allura de la Cruz Actually, you know my feelings on this already. And anything I say isn't going to change your mind, is it?

James Barnes As long as I have to see the light die in my fruit's eyes as it exhales its final breath while I mutilate it to eat it?
James Barnes Nope.

Toshi Inoue What if someone else prepares the food for you?
Toshi Inoue they don't bother me, and I cook a lot.

Allura de la Cruz Well... that wouldn't be so bad. Are you offering?

Toshi Inoue sure, it's easy enough adding a couple extra things to a pot

[Watch out, Allura, at some point he's likely to bring freshly made spinach juice....]

Velouria Tartine Give up. Eat your enemies

Allura de la Cruz I feel like we have slightly different opinions on how to handle this... just like fashion.
