Go 90% vegetarian

Okay, I am giving up on this one til Spring of ‘08. Winter is on it’s way!

I don’t care if I eat meat or not. I would prefer not to, except when needed, such as in the winter, or when pregnant, and in those times, no more than I need to sustain myself. The perks of being vegetarian in addition to less animals being killed are better health, it’s cheaper and less environmental impact.

I’ve always viewed vegan as excessive, and not something I’m interested in, just like strict vegetarianism isn’t for me either. What I dislike about vegetarianism is that if I am a guest at someone’s house (like right now), and I’m a 100% vegetarian, I create a huge problem for whoever I am staying with. I don’t want to do that. Also it’s hard to eat out if we’re at a fast food place.

My sister and her husband are vegetarians, and my mom had a horrible problem trying to come up with tasty dishes that everyone could enjoy when he would be over for supper. Also, when they would cook supper, their recipes were horrible! I don’t understand why either, because I love vegetables, tofu, polenta, etc. It’s like they just made BAD recipes!

My husband, however, is primarily carnivore, and although he supports me in everything I do, I can see this as being an issue just because we’ll run out of ideas on what to eat constantly.

Oh well, where there is a will, there is a way! He needs to eat more vegetation anyway!
