The soil and concrete is too dirty nowadays to go barefoot, i even cringe sometimes when i see a woman wearing sandals on a rainy day and i know that she well be all the day like that before she gets home, puddles of muddy water everywhere, rain is not what it used to be, i despite the smell of the city on a rainy day, i blame the cars, the sewers, and the occasional neglected road.
Back to temperature, if you are in constant movement you will be able to keep some body heat, but once you sit down you will wish for a pair of socks, and once you start walking in a sunny day on a egg cooking hot piece of asphalt you will feel like an Indian guru walking on fire, good luck with that, and lets not even talk about small rocks and pieces of wood that may insert themselves in your feet.
Is a construct like the number 2 II 二 . . all symbolic shapes that don't exist in nature with a physical shapely form.
Pescaterian? is that like half-assed vegan? XD.

Same thing dude...although that begs the question why isn't fish considered meat in that dietary sense?? those that are vegetarian usually eat fish, it's vegans that stay away from flesh altogether and products that come from flesh (milk and eggs).
so really?? no meat all? not even famous Swedish meatballs? I always pictured you as a culinary connoisseur, who ate anything and everything...that's cool as hell though dude...I wouldn't mind picking up the vegetarian lifestyle, generally results in optimal (colon) health, meat and poultry are my least favorite food groups anyway...but it's hard considering how many places and social function serve meat...besides, I like muh burritos with chicken in them. And since I've embraced Western Culture I need a nice tender In-And-Out Burger every now and then. When was the last time you ate chicken/beef/pork/steak/human/etc.?

I wouldn't want to live a life without fish! :D Well it seems people differentiate between 'meat', bird and seafood... something about the source location of each ingredient: land, air and water? Maybe each one has a significantly different constitution, I don't know. In Swedish you can refer to vegetable or fruit meat as well though, implying the mass it's made of rather than any actual 'meat' (seems like vegetable meat in English is what they call the fake kind, made up of soya, etc). Yeah, veganism is an admirable sport! Wouldn't want to live without dairy products myself, what a sacrifice...
No meat at all, not since I was two! I've probably accidentally eaten something that might've had traces of it sometime, but it's not that big a deal, I'd just rather keep away from it. I do like to consider myself a culinary connoisseur anyway! :)
Would be pretty simplifying being able to eat anything. I have considered it, not because I want to eat meat but because It'd be nice to be able to eat whatever I'm served, not very gratifying having guests that can't eat the food you make, whatever the reason, but I like this diet. It's become a moral thing too, and with time I made it into this motto: I'll eat any animals I don't mind killing myself. And apart from fish, I'd rather not kill any animals... especially wild animals are much more fun to have alive and near, running around in the forest, eating up our crops... O_o Kinda annoys me people hunt for food when they don't need to; when there's such a limited amount of game left. And they don't even hunt, they just sit still and wait for the animals to come to them. But ah well, to each their own...
Haha yeah, it's a big part of culture if that's the culture you live in! :D We eat a lot of fish up North, so that'd be hard to exclude. If people can't serve meat, they always have some fish instead. :P As for burgers: fish burgers! Woot! Being a true vegetarian would be a bit more difficult, also getting all the necessary protein, B-vitamins, etc.
