I’ve all but given up so many of the foods that used to be staples - fast food, mexican, chinese take out, pizza delivery, frozen meals; in a word: junk. I don’t really miss much of that stuff anymore (I do get cravings for carne asada or beer & pizza, I mean I’m only human).
I’ve noticed that in learning how to make better choices, I don’t eat nearly as much meat anymore. Just too many calories and too much saturated fat to account for, easier to just skip it. I go out of my way to eat fish for the omega-3s (*sushi=yum*) and chicken is a staple.
Somewhere along the way, having switched to eating a whole lot more fruit, veggies, nuts, grains and so forth—I started *thinking* about where meat comes from. I love me some chicken burgers, but the thought of a CHICKEN makes me heave. So I start thinking about chickens and then I don’t want a chicken burger. Seriously, it’s new, this feeling. Not sure what the hell is going on with me, is this how vegetarians start out? Perfectly normal Taco-Bell regulars and then one day bam! thoughts of chickens stepping in pig poo havin’ their heads chopped off.
