Thoughts on the new colour scheme? I can’t decide whether I like it or not. Someone reaffirm my choices?

Going Veg. Or not. Or something…

I (mostly on the weekends) feel like I should be a vegetarian. Or a vegan, because really if you’re not going to eat meat why would you eat animal products? Once I’ve thought about being a vegetarian, or a vegan, I think about the summer I lived on Cambridge Street with three real vegans and how I was mostly vegan then. I don’t think that I felt any better in terms of being my health that come with not eating meat or dairy or eggs. But I do think that having to focus so much on food almost definitely ensures that a balance is achieved. It’s also completely exhausting having to read labels on everything, to deny yourself something yummy in order to replace it with something not nearly as yummy and to spend so much time focussed on what goes in to your body.

I couldn’t agree more with ethical farming and free range and organic. I don’t want to eat poultry that’s been forced to live on top of each other in a football field sized barn where there is poop all over the ground because it’s never been cleaned, the chickens don’t ever, ever see sunlight in their atrociously short lives and have zero quality of life. I don’t want to eat meat from cows that don’t get to wander around eat grass and I’d prefer not to ingest the antibiotics that have been forced on them either. But, that all being said, I don’t want to deny myself food that I love.
