(no subject)
so it's been a year of being a veggie (and 2 of non-chicken meat eating). and it was MUCH MUCH less difficult than i thought it would be. i dunno, i'm a bit proud of myself. i didn't cheat once. (there was just that one time that i accidentally ate pork...and maybe i ate a couple chicken flavored things in the very beginning) but no actual cheating.
i haven't felt any healthier or unhealthier. just neutral. but definitely less stomach aches.
and i may have changed a couple of minds along the way, that i know of. hmm maybe not changed...opened? yes. opened.
what's interesting though is:
-people like to attack vegetarians/vegans. constantly. why? who knows. insecurity? secret guilt? retardation? (prob the latter)
-even though i tried my hardest not to push my beliefs/choices on others, the mere mention of being a vegetarian often sets people into defense mode/rage blackouts. CHILL OUT.
-it's interesting how you can convince yourself that something you once liked is now disgusting...because the reasons for not eating it far outweigh the reason: "because i like it." (duh)
-i will never become vegan. too restrictive. too expensive. i'd rather not rob myself of that many of life's pleasures. but good for the people who are. but not the ones who give others shit...like sean...who got mad at me for putting cheese on a sandwich he made me. right. MOVING ON.
-the hot topic seems to be...'isn't eating fake meat contradictory? cheating?' my opinion: who cares, it's not meat. it's a way of getting protein/something with a solid texture/etc. shut up. go eat some veins. (which reminds me of how much i do not miss finding those in my chicken. mmm delish!)
and that's that. fhqwgads.
