Meatless

[jencam1981]

So, I am seriously thinking about going veggie. I LOVE meat! So why am I thinking about it? I have a few reasons. The first is the cost of meat. It is getting really expensive. I will not get unemployment for forever and I think making sure Aiden gets food and diapers is much more important than my cheeseburger addiction

Hello.. My name is Jana and I am a fellow ASA in the Zeta Kappa chapter. Well I am an alum and have been for three years. I think I found your LJ on the ASA LJ group. I read your blog from time to time... I hope that it doesn't creep you out that a stranger is reading. I wanted to comment because I recently made the switch to mostly vegetarian for a lot of the reasons you talked about

Thank you for leaving a comment! I am glad to know that more than 3 people read my LJ! lmao

"Food Matters" is on my list of books to read! My main problem is that no one in my family is veggie. My Mom told me today that I should still eat some meat so that I can eat when I go visit her. Not the response I was going for. *sigh* Plus, my boyfriend is a big meat eater! He will eat whatever I make and he will tell me how much he likes it, but I will get comments about wanting "protein" from time to time.

I think am going to try and only eat meat a couple of times a week for now until I am sure that I have a good menu plan of things that I like and that will take care of my nutritional needs. I am really not a fan of legumes and so I need to make sure that I can go veggie and be healthy.
