So I've decided to stop eating meat. First off, I've been somewhat uncomfortable eating meat for a long time for all the usual reasons, but never really felt like doing anything about it. But just recently I stopped smoking and I rather enjoy the feeling of actively not-doing something I feel people shouldn't do, so I figured now is the perfect time to stop eating meat.
I don't eat a whole lot of meat to begin with. I typically have some kind of swine with breakfast, so that's going to have to stop. I have pizza topped with swine about once a week--that'll be pretty trivial to cut out, since Domino's all pretty much tastes the same to me anyway. I'll have the occasional fast food burger/burrito or whatnot and I'll probably miss this. Fortunately, Pita Plus has some tasty falafel and I'm told Marathon's vegetarian gyros are very good, although the idea of lettuce in a pita just seems a bit... lacking, to me.
If I successfully stop eating meat, I might like to quit something else. The problem is, I don't have very many vices. Swearing? Porn? Internet? Perhaps.
Also, the other day I found myself wondering why Burger King, McDonald's et al don't make any sort of effort to cater vegetarians. Burger King's fries are vegetarian but that's about it--I think some local franchises have veggie burgers, but there's no nationwide effort. Even smaller, hipper burger joints like Five Guys, Checkers, In-N-Out Burger, etc. have no vegetarian option other than a bun with vegetables on it.
Of course, any self-respecting vegetarian isn't going to support a corporation that takes wholesale animal slaughter to the bank, but self-respect is of pretty short supply these days yknow? |
