I never post, naughty me.
I've recently discovered that due to my one-year anniversary as a vegetarian, i've become aware that i'm zinc deficient.
Boo.
I've been toying in my head for a little while now that maybe since i gave it a year, that surely i've earned some karma points and may return to feasting on the flesh of the dead once more. I hear that those who stay veggie for too long become almost physically unable to return to meat and i'm not sure if i want that possibility denied to me. I started being veggie for no strong reasons, and since changing i developed some loose morals around the principle. Whilst part of me missed meat dearly, another thinks i'll be a no-good dirty cop out if i switch back. But it's the malnutrition that's really getting to me. Sure i can take supplements to counteract such things, but that smacks of being just as bad as juicing the little chicken full of hormones so it grows bigger boobies. If i am to live as a vegetarian, i don't want to think that i'm not feeding myself well enough to gain the nutrients i need from my daily meals.
Hmmmm.
