Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson for May 09, 1987

dessertarian, thats a new one

I’m a dessertarian too!

so am I

Yeah, ‘new’… for almost twenty-four years.

Me too.

A Dessertarian: someone who eats their Food Pyramid from the top down.

I said that when I was a kid.

Well, that’s one way to do it.

He’s deserting his meal

Vegetarian meal, ugh. I’d make that face too if I were him.

I’m a vegetarian myself. Go Mom!

I’m a chickennuggetarian!

That would also sum up what L Lawliet is

hopefully, Calvin learns to respect food without sugar, a juicy steak with asparagus sounds much better than an ice cream sundae

I think all litlle kids are “dessertarians”

Speaking like a true child.

But aren’t most desserts already vegetarian? I don’t know of any dessert containing meat. Milk and eggs, yes, but not meat.

same calvin, same

Actually, vegetarian food is not healthy for kids. WE CHILDREN NEED MEAT
