so i don't have anything too insightful to type about vegetarianism, except that if my sister (a vegetarian) would cook for me every day i could definitely be a vegetarian. when the dining hall feeds me, it's much harder and i feel malnourished when i don't eat meat there. i think i would like to have the experience of killing and eating an animal to see if i could do it. if i could, then i'm okay. if not, no more meat. but then there's the meat industry. it's a tricky cycle. so i try not to eat a lot of meat (especially super processed meat... like McDonald's, etc) but sometimes the craving overcomes me. and too much soy scares me. which is another issue. i have a book that talks about it. and it scared me. there's lots of estrogen in soy and it's not good for women (especially pregnant women) to eat a lot of it. so i'm really just confused.

when i started this entry i just wanted to say that i love nutella and that it's vegetarian and when i went to nyc to visit natalie we had nutella and banana pressed toast and it was amazing... and that i'm glad you like nutella because it's important for us to find new and amazing nutella recipes. (but don't forget about the traditional nutella uses--on pretzels, bananas, and croissants).

i think i'll be at school if not moved in by the time you get back to pensacola. crazy.

the end.

thank you loves for your thoughts about animals and eating and nature, and sarahfannin, for nutella thoughts. i don't really have any new nutella recipes except that it tastes about a million times as good as usual when you are in ghana and you haven't eaten nutella in several months.

i'm so excited to see you! i'm bringing back cool presents that i think you and the roomies will like. be prepared :)
