Word play: What kind of “arian” are you?
If, as I read in one of Rusty D’Arconte’s recent columns, the word “pescatarian” has been coined to describe “a vegetarian who eats fish”:
* Were my children “seminarians” back in the days when they would eat no more than half their vegetables?
* Is a meat lover who requires that his steak be cut into equal-sized pieces a “sectarian.”
* Conversely, if you eat an orange or tangerine whole, rather than divide it into pieces, are you a “non-sectarian?”
8 And is my daughter, who has grown up to eat all her vegetables, right to describe my diet -- high in cholesterol, sugar and salt -- as “cemetarian?”
