I’ve recently decided to go back to being an herbivore. This is not my first foray into
vegetarianism. Through no choice of my
own I was forced to become one when my brother, aged uh.. 4, declared that he
would no longer partake of meat. Somehow
our whole family got roped into this.
John started eating meat again after some time but I held out for almost
14 years. Although at the end there I
occasionally started eating fish. I
lived in California at the time which is a magical place full of people who
were quick to tell me ‘you’re not a vegetarian you’re a pescatarian,’ which was
true. And also really, really annoying.
Anyway, after gleefully partaking in flesh for a few years
I’m jumping back on the vegetarian bandwagon.
I’d love to say this is for some morally superior reason (...ahem. ahimsa.) It’s not.
I’m doing a lot of yoga lately and find that I practice, focus and
meditate more effectively when my body feels light, i.e. when it’s not
digesting meat and other heavy shit. I
will never be one of those people who shames meat eaters – I made bacon ice
cream for christssake. The jig is
up.
I may lapse occasionally.
My family hunts and ergo I have access to large amounts of lean,
grassfed, organic meat. (And to those
who say “don’t eat anything you wouldn’t be willing to kill yourself” and
assume that I’m burning in shame/smugly content – I’m not. I was that.) But I’m gonna do my best and give it a go.
One reason I wanted to start eating meat again was because I
wanted to learn how to prepare and cook it.
I was getting way into the culinary arts and felt I was missing out on a
huge portion of cuisine. Which I
was. Conversely once I became a meat
eater I sadly neglected all the interesting and delicious veggie dishes out there. I’m coming back to them now. I will probably occasionally post recipes
here along with other holisticky stuff.
Hope you enjoy it.
