Well, I think that this cutting down on meat thing has been a smashing success!  I also love that it has given me the opportunity to discuss the issues with friends who are frequent meat eaters.  I'm planting the seeds....  Maybe even getting  them from Pre-Contemplation to Contemplation (in the language of this week's behavior change model)!  For ( Read more... )

I had three meals with meat in 2 days.  Now I can't have anymore for the week.  I thought I would be more sad than I am about that.  Maybe I'm not sad because I just had a breakfast of poached eggs so my belly is full of animal protein and I'm happy.  But I'm also kind of craving beans.  I swear I'm going to soak those damn beans as soon as I ( Read more... )

For my Conservation Psychology course I have to pick a conservation behavior that I wasn't previously performing and attempt to adopt it. So I am becoming a flexetarian (a term I have stolen from my classmate who is also attempting flexetarian status) - meaning that I will eat mostly vegetarian but not exclusively.
