One of the many stereotypes I have been confronted with down here is the notion that all northerners are health freaks. I guess it's not really a bad thing for someone to assume you eat healthy, but when it is said as such: "did you offer Adrienne any? Oh, wait, she's from the north so she probably doesn't eat fries" it kind of seems like a bad thing. Now in this particular instance, I just happen to not like french fries, is it because I am from the north? I don't think so.
I really don't know what it is about me, but people were making vegetarian assumptions about me up north as well. I fear now that whatever vibe I had up north has now combined with the assumption that all northerners don't like red meat or fried food and people across the fine state of Georgia are going to take me as a anemic veggie lover.
Be honest, do I come off as a vegetarian?
