And if, like,the fork we've used to serve some meat even touches herplate for a split second, she freaks out and has to getanotherplate. Recently, she started thisnewthingwhereshe can' t even eat any vegetables that are cooked. Theyhave to be raw. And she put her cat on a vegan diet, too.The poor thing only eats vegetables.

like,
"Meat . . . please?"
