Abalone makes a great gift. Know any health nuts? Abalone has the nutritional and low fat content that even the strictest of dieticians cannot find fault with. Unless, of course, they are also vegetarians and disagree with the use or consumption of anything that is derived from a living thing, but hey, if nobody's perfect, why should we expect the abalone to live up to expectations that none of us can? Don't they say you can't please everyone so you might as well please yourself?

Well, we should really all take a lesson from the noble abalone. He/she is ugly, ill tempered, reclusive, stubborn, and yet we still come after them in droves, inviting them to parties, restaurants, family gatherings. Despite a host of negative qualities, the abalone still manages to command our attention, because the abalone remain true to themselves. They don't go around trying to grow pretty fins or developing faster methods of sliming across the face of underwater rock formations just to try and fit in with the "in" crowd, and this is how they have won us over. Perhaps a little too much so, considering their decimated populations in many parts of the world, but there is some hope for their recovery.
