If you had to be an animal, what kind of food would you dislike the most?
Have you ever had strychnine poisoning? Let me tell you, that’s the last time I wander into some farmer’s fields and treat them like an all-you-can-eat buffet. Fresh vegetables are not worth having those kinds of convulsions. I thought I was going to die, then I’d wake up after I’d thought that I was going to die, and think that I was going to die while I was dead. Even worse, I was fully conscious the whole time. It’s like hell on earth.
I’ve been there.
