I love meat. There isn't really a meat I don't love.
A lot of things have changed in the last few months though.
note: for the last few months we generally eat meat only on weekends, and even then sparingly.
This week reminded me of how much I love being meat free. We ate A LOT of meat this weekend, and our conclusion was that as much as we love the taste, it just isn't worth it.
Here are our reasons:
1. money- i know everyone thinks fresh fruits and veggies are pricey but if you shop right they are way cheaper than meat
2. environment- there are significant environmental concerns with the amount of cattle we graze, etc. Don't get me wrong, I think cows are meant to be made into beef, but just maybe not to the extent that we have.
3. health- I feel a million times better after eating a fish/veggie meal the I do when i eat a meat meal. I don't get heart burn, don't feel too full, have more energy, less lethargy- it's a good thing.
So I was thinking, does anyone else have meat-free nights? And if you don't would you think about trying it one night a week- for me? Just as an experiment, and let me know what you think.
