Rowan: Please, I'm not religious...I don't participate in any kind of 'fasting ritual'.
Derrick: That explains a lot...
Rowan: I'm aware I have an eating issue Derrick, thank you....but you would too if you grew up with parents like mine...with a diet so regimented you felt like you were starving all the time!
Cameron: Now you also know why Rowan isn't religious...
Rowan: At least not any more than you are...my parents were devout...although even in the most extreme sects, nut fasting is reserved for spring. Even though my species doesn't really hibernate anymore, A lot of squirrel religions celebrate the fall months with several feasts to sort of honor our past as hibernators. We would fast in Spring to lose the weight put on over the winter. Obviously, it wouldn't be a very smart move to starve yourself just before Winter...there certainly wouldn't be any squirrels left in Animalia if our ancestors did that.
Derrick: You couldn't get me to take part in No Nut November that's for sure...
Rowan: *Scratches chin thoughtfully* I wasn't aware horses ate a lot of nuts...
Rowan: *Smirks* Depends on the horse...though generally I prefer having other guys and gals eat my nuts rath-.
Cameron: Okay Derrick, settle down...I don't think Misses Hunter-Bellwether would appreciate that kind of language on her blog...
Derrick: *Chuckles* Have you actually read it? Like...ever?
