Veggie Tales

I've become vegetarian again. A vegetarian who ferociously consumes fish. Who...wouldn't shy away from eating that "please enjoy and appreciate our culture" meat-infused dish (that somehow is always dripping with blood).

I surmise neither buying nor cooking meat makes me something, right? Let's just say I wouldn't go out of my way to grab a burger from the fast food chain down the block.

My mother would be semi-proud, though she eats fish now; meat (any type of meat) used to be FORBIDDEN. No, it wasn't haram. It just wasn't done in our home.

I must chuckle, because my younger self would be astonished. Future Me? Eating meat? NEVER!

Times do change ;)

  1. I'm a pescatarian (fish-eater!) but I guess you could call yourself a "flexitarian." :)
