Well, it's been nearly a year since I went veg for "green reasons".
I love it!!
However, I have had a few bumps along the way, and I think I have finally found a spot where I am satisfied.
I have shared a few bits of hubbys fish this past year. I even made fish for the family a few times and had a VERY small portion for myself.
Then there was the time this last summer a friend (unknowingly) ordered a burger for me, which I ate to not cause a rift..... um,yea, won;t do that again, I felt gross for a few days!!
I cooked a turkey for my family for Tgiving, but ate none of it. I did, however, enjoy the soup from the carcass.
After a year, here's where I have landed:
If you are a vegetarian, you would say that I am not one.
If you are a meat eater, you would say that I am one!!
lol
I don't eat meat on my plate. Period. End of story. Not red meat, not chicken... and very very rarely, small amounts of fish.
I WILL however eat the soup derived from the carcass of an animal that was cooked and eaten. Like ham bone, or turkey/chicken carcass. I only do this maybe every 3 months or so, but because I choose to eat the way that I eat for environmental reasons, I cannot waste the carcasses or bones. So to me, if the animal was to be eaten, I will at least cook every single bit of it, and eat what many consider to be the "garbage".
what do you think?
ps - I have sooooooo drastically reduced the meat consumption in my family. I think of meat for my family as a condiment, NEVER the main dish!!
