For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for December 15, 2008

Garfield would be appalled.

Michael’s assumption is mistaken. Vegetable (such as zucchini or spinach) lasagna is perfectly valid, so long as it contains the noodles and cheese (both must be real). Admittedly, Garfield wouldn’t like it (he’s not even designed for it, cats are pure carnivores), but that doesn’t make it fake.

VEGAN (meaning absolutely no dairy and no eggs) lasagna, on the other hand, is phonier than a $3 bill!

Any lasagna that doesn’t have meat - be that chicken, beef, lamb etc - is FAKE. Period. “Vegetable” Lasagna, pffft that food doesn’t exisit in my language. LOL

Mom, you have to sneak the veggies in, now and then.

When Michael asked what they were eating, it would have been better to reply, “Lasagna.” Adding, “Vegetarian” and “Try it. You’ll like it” begs for a negative response.

when I make lasagna I put every kind of meat I can find at .the store. I’d have vegetarian lasagna if I wanted a salad.

They can become a vegetarian or not.

Vegetables are not food. Vegetables are what food eats!

Vegetables with red sauce. That is so wrong on many levels.

Thank you summerdog…THAT’S the point I have been making my whole life.

I have a recipe for chicken lasagna with vegetables and alfredo sauce. Basically it ends up almost being like a primavera. With more cheese. Sometimes experimentation is good :)

My husband had almost been brave enough to say the the things the boys are saying :)

He does like my seafood lasagna ‘tho

“I’d have vegetarian lasagna if I wanted a salad.”

Well, that's weird. If I wanted a salad, then I'd have a salad!

vegetarian lasagna makes as much sense as putting spinach ravioli on the dinner table

we had the three bite rule..try three bites.. if you don’t say yuck or make a face and you don’t like it you don’t have to have anymore…otherwise its three more bits
