I like this! It's witty and entertaining and handles the - altough quite old - matter in a very refreshing and new way, especially since it's a point of view often overseen by both sides! Don't really see those things you think need a lot of redoing, but I'll look forward to the refined version

She told me that "the man with the sinus problem" grossed her out too much to keep reading, lol

Thanks a bunch :D Yeah, to people who talk to me regularly, you would be able to tell right away that's not how I usually talk. I know one of my strengths is that my narrators themselves are usually interesting characters with voices distinct from my own. I don't get why I can't take that same talent and apply it to dialogue. I suck at dialogue >.<

Yes! Thank you for that idea. I think I will expand this and make a commentary on food and eating in general. It would be quite humorous.
