your dad makes being an idealist sound like a bad thing, but i think it might be one thing the world has going for it right now... young people who are idealists.
we have a lot to talk about when you come to town. seriously. i cannot wait!
I love it. I'm not even a vegetarian anymore, though I like to think of myself as more of a "conscious meat eater" than just a person who gave up on vegetarianism. I also like to think that in some small way I helped other people think about vegetarianism. I knew that I wouldn't want to be a veg forever, so I always tried not to get too angry with people who would brush me off when I told them my reasoning. It's healthier for your body, it's better for the environment, and it doesn't contribute to ridiculous spending on behalf of the government subsidizing cattle pens. After I met Joe, I turned him veg for lent and I think it helped him think about things differently. We have chicken, beef, or sausage every few weeks but for the most part we make veg soups and casseroles. It's pretty awesome to part of the solution instead of the problem, even if you don't tell people that's your reasoning, you still have that knowledge for yourself, which feels great
