Pescetearianism
So a friend of mine at work has begun a 'No meat with feet' lifestyle. I am grateful to her for not calling herself a vegetarian because she will still eat seafood and if you eat seafood you are not vegetarian, as I have pointed out before. She's doing it for the health benefits and it's hard for her but she feels much better so I am happy for her.
In an effort to be her friend I recommended a few things to her from when I was Veggie for a bit and it's made me think of the vegetarian idea again. I was never a veggie for the whole Save the animals thing, I don't believe that not eating meat will help the animals being mistreated at all unlless, literally, everyone does it. I did it for the health benefits but quickly realized that this, what with the amount of vitamins and supplements I had to take and the fact that I don't like allot of veggies, wasn't going to work out for me. Curse you blood disease!
It's got me thinking that maybe I should give the pescetarianism a try. I don't eat beef because it makes me sick, chicken is ok but I get bored with it, I'm not a big lunch meat fan, I LOVE pig though. Mmmm bacon, pulled pork sammiches mmmmm. Crap, pig will be the meat that gets me.
This is a dilemma. especially since Kris got a lobster and had it steamed and all that tastiness only for Elizabeth to discover, she can't eat something she's seen alive. I love lobster but I couldn't eat it. Nope.
So I've decided I will just cut it all out for a bit, stick with my fresh fruits, the few veggies I like and stock up on boca burgers again and see what happens. I'm not saying I'll be sticking with it but I will give it a shot. I like meat but I don't eat it allot so we'll see what happens.
Hannibal approves as long as he gets to taste everything I eat. He eats people though so I don't think he can join in.

Yeah, eating fish is technically pescatarian, but since most people don't know what that means, it's easier to just people you're vegetarian. Come join our ranks again! You feel sooooo much better!!!
