veggies

so while my computer was off  during lent

i watched documentaries (on netflixs) 

i also read

alot

i do anyway but i was on 'high gear' during lent

it was almost to the point of information overload

i also gave up meat for lent

it wasn't too hard for me since we hardly ever ate it

we stopped eating red meat a long time ago

and i couldn't tell you the last time i touched pork or chicken

i got food poisoning one day in the fall and the last thing i had eaten

was fish so hadn't returned to it

(the after the taste of fish in my throat all night from being sick
it was way too fresh in my mind to eat it again)

i took alot of time to think pray and read

i jumped off the fence that i had been straddling for sometime

and announced to my not too surprised husband

that i was a vegetarian

{pic}

i was back in college when josh 1st met me and returned to eating meat

because i kept having fainting and 'sugar' issues

i know now that i wasn't eating as well as i thought and it wasn't

because i wasn't eating meat

returning to vegetarianism i better educated and feel very secure in my decision

 when we have brought up that we try to eat as local

and organic as possible

it makes people defensive

almost upset it appears

and when you add the word vegetarian

woooo....

now you've really done it

some people feel they have to convince you otherwise

like it is up for debate or they must save you from this horrible mistake

what i have discovered in this journey is

food is very personal

like religion or politics

but just like the two subjects above

i am not trying to sway anyone or bring anyone 'to my side'

for me it was a very personal choice

and i am totally okay with you making yours
