Be an ethical omnivore

I was so tempted to cheat today. But I didn’t. Cheese pizza and coffee.

I burst into tears the other day when boyfriend was criticizing the contents of my fridge. Blah Blah Blah nothing to eat around here….

Since then he’s been more supportive of this, even suggesting veggie phad thai instead of his usual insistence on chicken. I wonder how long this will last. Asian food tends to be my biggest cheat with this because of ordering family style, he can’t eat meat unless I’m willing to share it and most of the time I figure that if its just every week or two it’s ok.

lots of cheating in the last few days…

We went out to our favorite middle eastern restaurant last night and it turns out that there is not a single vegetarian entree on the menu. There are veggie appatizers and sides, but but but… The entres come with the greatest mezza plate and that’s not available any other way.

I may have to find a middle eastern restaurant that uses organic meat, because I am unable to resist lamb schwarma.

Pepperoni is going to be my downfall with this one. I often eat cheese or veggie pizza, but I crave the pepperoni. I think it may be the only meat that I crave.

I really need to do some reseach and find out what fish fit in with my idea of ethical. I want to avoid farmed fish, speices that are over-fished or otherwise at risk, as well as fish that is not highly contaminated with mercury or other polutants that would be unhealthy for me. Anything else to consider? Anyone have any relevent links?
