Okay.. where to begin. Well, I'm a huge animal lover. How about that for a start? I try to respect all living creatures and admittedly have a rather guilty conscious eating meat and other animal products. The logical step would naturally be to go Vegan, right? Right.. that's what I'm having some difficulty with. Let's continue with another important little fact about me: I love meat. Fish, turkey, chicken.. **** yes! They're my slaughter of choice. I'm trying to eat better, and so I started to think that maybe eating more conscientiously or humanely should be next on my to do list.
I'm a little concerned with how to get a good source of protein however, since beans are a thing I absolutely loath!!! Are there certain levels of vegetarianism where some meat consumption is acceptable? Salmon and shrimp is probably my greatest weakness and the one thing I could never ever let go of. Turkey and chicken I could learn to live without, but.. the salmon? =[ It's a rare occasion that I get to eat either of those, but I cherish those times!!!
I'm not sure what I hoped to accomplish here except maybe reaching out for some support. I know that meat isn't necessary, it even kind of goes against our genetics (the structure of our teeth and their function to gnash and grind rather than cut and rip indicates human beings were meant to eat a purely plant based diet). I just don't know how to let go of what 18 years of meat exposure has done to both my body and my taste buds. It kind of sounds like I'm making excuses but.. well, I am. Anyone care to kick my a$$ into shape? I really need to make a definitive decision here. Any information, support, or suggestions are greatly appreciate. Thanks for listening to me whine. ;D
