A couple Sundays ago (March 30th) I started a little vegetarianism experiment. This was mostly inspired by a post by Mark on his blog, and also a follow-up conversation with Mark at lunch. This is the portion that triggered my experiment:
By fasting from particular foods, I become more conscious of the food I do eat. How much am I eating? Why am I eating? In the same way, I can limit my indulgence in TV and I start asking “Why am I watching this? How much have I watched?’
So, I’m a fan of meat. I have no moral objections to the wholesale slaughter of cows, chickens, etc. I think meat is a necessary part of a great meal. But I also think my diet could use a little more rounding (what? a bag of beef jerky isn’t a meal?) So, here is my experiment:
That’s it. Pretty simple. So, I’m a week and a half into it and I thought I’d share some observations:
That’s it for now. I’ll have more updates as the experiment continues.
