Wtf does Shannon eat?

Shannon and I are both vegans, so, inevitably, people always ask us what we eat. This is a stupid question in a pre-apocalyptic world with abundant flora and the wide availability of vegan products. However, I feel like this is sort of a legitimate question for Shannon. Her dietary restrictions sound like one of those logic puzzles that use process of elimination to find an answer. They include:

  • acid reflux: no tomatoes or dark greens, no eating at least three hours before bedtime. In addition, this requires Shannon to sleep with her head elevated. Shannon's distaste for pillows means she just puts stuff under her mattress. We don't have sleepovers much.
  • hypoglycemia: Shannon has to eat every few hours or so and should eat right before bedtime.
  • severe asparagus allergy
  • gluten allergy
  • lactose intolerance
  • vegan
So, no, at this point I don't think it's impolite to wonder how Shannon is alive. The way she deals with this is really beautiful in its simplicity: she just ignores most of it like a fucking champ.
