The wait staff came to take our dessert orders. Cindy Lou ordered the tira misu, as she always did. I passed on dessert. I guess being a “tummy buddy” means you don’t have to worry about your weight.

As she started in, I asked something I’d been wondering about for a while. “I’ve got to know—is Dr. Voor serious with the whole ‘half the world turning into “tummy buddies” for the other half’ thing?”

“He seems to be pretty fixated on the idea, doesn’t he?” she admitted between forkfuls.

I shook my head. “As much fuss as there’s been over genetically-modified crops, cloning, stem cell research, and so on, I kinda doubt the whole ‘genetically modifying humans to turn into yogurt’ thing is going to go over too well.”

Cindy Lou nodded. “Yeah, I know. But you just can’t argue with a dream. And I don’t know that I really care what the world thinks. I know it’s right for me.”

“I can’t argue with that.” I shrugged. “Well, I guess I can’t be too hard on him. Everybody’s got to have a hobby.”

    wow.. having an understanding of the whole “tummy buddies” thing.. and still this story didn’t make much sense to me.. held together with some interesting dialouge, but the gist of the thing is still a lil unknown.. Ah but perhaps i should go backwards a bit and see if I can’t figgure it out.. none the less it was a wonderful story.. very well written.

    True, Dr. Vore’s ideas are a bit unconventional, but who can argue with the results? A hot chick digests your food for you and comes out once a month to go on dates… Sounds good to me. What’s the hang up here?
