Vegetarian Week is now OVER!

To those who read my blog,

For the past week not one dead animal has entered my body! I have been dead animal free! I did this because there are a few vegetarians at my school and I don’t really understand why they do it.

So I did it and I made it out alive. What did I discover?

1) Not eating meat wasn’t the tasteless bland-fest I thought it was going to be. The vege-burgers tasted pretty bad, but there are a few really good vegetarian dishes. My favorite was the Quesedia with extra cheese (yes I know some people would not consider it vegetarian with the cheese, but my definition of a vegetarian is one who does not eat any sort of meat… cheese is an animal by-product and not eating that would make me a vegan). Anyways, the point is, vegetarian meals are good!

2) Unless you do this right, you will be low on energy. I did not do this as right as I should have but my potions were limited due to an unsympathetic cafeteria. I found that I was low on energy and also quite hungry a lot of time.

3) I missed meat, but not enough for me to be enthusiastic about eating a lot more red meat. In fact, I think I am going to cut down on the red meat during the summer (it will save on food cost a lot).

Yeah… so going vegetarian for a while was not so bad. I’d suggest it to anyone wanting to increase their point of view a little.

Sincerely,

Joshua

PS

Tomorrow I am going to eat a VERY meaty pizza or possibly a steak ;)

I was a vegetarian for 6 months once. I love Veggie burgers, but I got tempted out of it with a piece of chicken in a moment of weakness!
Congrats on making it through the week!

Thanks, Catie! I always like hearing from you (despite never actually meeting you:P )
