playing fetch with my nephew

That last time I threw the ball pretty far, but Andrew is bringing it back in his mouth.

Now he's tired of the game, probably because crawling hurts the knees....

Now to the meat of the post:

....ok, there is no meat. I'm sorry. Lately I am going through another one of my vegetarian consideration phases. Every once in a while I wonder if I should be a vegetarian. I know there is nothing wrong with eating meat. I like meat. I just usually don't eat it that much, anyway, only when I am eating with people. I would cut shopping costs (only a little since I usually just mooch off my brother and sister-in-law and others), and eating out would be much, much cheaper. I would always order the salad, which is usually cheap. Also, lots of people say that the American beef and poultry consumption is not sustainable for the whole world to adopt, and those up and coming countries love to eat like Americans.

Is being a vegetarian just too popular for me to do? I don't like fitting into a stereotype (unless it's Molly Mormon). Is it too presumptuous? It is just too lame?

  1. Go for it! But I don't think you can be a passive vegetarian... you've got to educate yourself about how much protien you need, and how you can get it without meat.

  2. Rob is right. I fully support you being a vegetarian (some of my fav people have been vegetarians) but don't be all militant about it and refuse to eat at people's houses when they invite you because they might serve you meat. or worse yet...tell them before you come that you won't eat meat so not to cook it. heh.

  3. I agree with Glarcy, ha. It sounds like you've been mostly doing it anyway. Cut it back, take it in moderation as you already do. Just enjoy it on those rare occasions when you may have a particular craving for a chicken breast or a juicy steak. But you don't need to eat it every day and you shouldn't feel obligated to eat anything you don't want to.
