2015年ESL之餐饮娱乐 02 Becoming a Vegetarian/Vegan（在线收听）

Becoming a Vegetarian/Vegan 

Ashley: I’m thinking of becoming a vegetarian. I think it would be the ethical thing to do. 

Paul: Are you going to eat eggs and dairy? If you’re doing this for ethical reasons, you really should avoid anything made with animal products or animal by-products. 

Ashley: I guess you’re right. 

Paul: Then you’re going to be a vegan. You won’t be able to eat any milk, butter, cheese, or yogurt. 

Ashley: Really? I guess I’ll have to be a vegan then. 

Paul: You’ll have to eat a varied diet so you don’t have a vitamin deficiency. 

Ashley: Yes, I’ll have to guard against that. 

Paul: Are you going to avoid buying things that are animal-derived, too? Like leather shoes and belts? 

Ashley: I hadn’t thought of that. I suppose I should. 

Paul: Are you having second thoughts? 

Ashley: No, I just didn’t know there would be so many restrictions. 

Paul: Just be glad you didn’t choose to become a fruitarian. 

Ashley: What’s that? 

Paul: You don’t want to know.
