Actually, the term is Pescetarian. Meaning I am going on a veggie n fish diet. Plus I will have dairy, but I think I will eventually go without dairy. Several years ago I was ovo-lacto-vegetarian, which is veggies+eggs+dairy. That was for a year. I don’t remember why exactly I did it, but anyways, I am doing it again, and I think it might be for good. I’ve just started to come around to the idea that eating meat and supporting the livestock industry is extremely harmful to the environment. Plus, the more I research vegetarianism, the more I am seeing the issues of animal cruelty in the livestock industry. It’s actually a pretty easy choice when you read about it and see some of the videos. Just do a search on the Smithfield Hog farms article in Rolling Stone and also check out www.meetyourmeat.com.
Those reasons aside, I think the health benefits will be substantial. It’s only been a week since I stopped eating meat, but I feel so good physically, plus I feel good about doing something about the environment and reducing my carbon footprint, even if it just a drop in the bucket.
