Re: For the first time in 12 years, I ate meat
well as of a year ago - fish too was considered meat (as well as any fish broth, ie: miso soup). i just didn't eat anything with eyes. that basically sums it up.
i have not been sick and i do take vitamins. I eat a lot of dark leafy greens which provides B12 and iron. i eat a LOT of protein packed beans too. i stayed away from any meat substitutes bc I never thought that stuff was healthy.
i went out for dinner last night to a very fancy place and got the vegetarian special. and ya...i took a bite of my boyfriend's pot roast. it was good but i think mine was better. i feel that as long as my money is not going directly to fund the factory farming, i'll try it. in the first case - they already BOUGHT boxes of meat and it was either going to be eaten or thrown out. i just look at it as supply and demand.
and no - i didn't get sick! i was expecting to but i didn't. yay!!
