new year's resolutions and whatnot.
I'm polishing up my resume. I'm going to leave my job. I'm ready to sell out and become a corporate whore for: less stress and more money. It's one of my New Year's resolutions, along with discontinuing my consumption of non-sustainably or factory farmed animal products, and my effort to remember and celebrate birthdays better.
My plan for the animal consumption thing is simple: first stage- avoid eating meat unless I know where it comes from, how it's produced, etc. This means that as long as the cows/chickens/pigs are happy, I'll eat them, and most restaurants to do not buy happy animal meat, so I basically go vegetarian when I'm not doing the cooking. Once I've mastered this, I'm onto the second stage- give up all dairy products (again, only if the cows/goats are happy will I consume their fruits). I don't really use leather or other non-edible animal products (to my knowledge) and I think that most of my animal product consumption has to do with what I put in my mouth, so I'll start there and learn my way up.
