Zombie Johnny Appleseed

I am knitting a tricksy pattern while Stella chats about vegetarianism. "How come we could live on just meat but we couldn't live on just fruit?" I say absently, "Well, it's important to have protein and fat in your diet." She says, "But I heard at school that Johnny Appleseed never ate meat." "That doesn't have to mean he lived on fruit alone," I tell her, with my head bent over my knitting. "He probably ate grains."

She gasps in horror. "Johnny Appleseed ate BRAINS?!"
