I am now in love with chocolate Silk.
My mom said, "that's worm juice, you know!" (silk worms--get it? haha). My mom wins.

Anyway, I'm trying to slowly wean myself off of more animal products, like milk. I mean, I hate milk. I only like chocolate milk, and even then I only like it if it tastes nothing like milk. So chocolate Silk is perfect to me. I'm also quitting things like caesar dressing (it's made with anchovies! Ew!) and even ramen noodles (if they contain animal fat, I'm not sure yet if all flavors do). I don't know when I'll be able to quit cheese and yogurt though. I love them so much! One day.

Today I went to the library and it failed me. It didn't have the books I needed.

Tonight Maribeth and I ventured to Kroger, and walked away with free cream soda. She gave me a bottle. Cream soda is one of the only sodas I'll still drink. I haven't really been a soda drinker for years. But from time to time I can't resist cream soda.

Why is my brain obsessed with food-things right now?

Okay, oops. It's 2:20 in the morning. Sleep? I hope.

I became a vegetarian when I moved out to Canton. As it was I only ate cows and chickens (I haven't eaten pigs in years). But when I moved out here cows and chickens literally became my neighbors. I see them alive every day. I got to the point where I'd bite into a piece of meat and feel the need to vomit because I had just seen the animal I was eating alive. So, I decided not to eat meat.

My mom was a vegetarian for years, starting when she was seventeen until more recently when she started eating chicken again. So I've grown up eating vegetarian foods and making the transition to a vegetarian diet wasn't hard for me at all. Not eating is just as easy for me as it was to eat it, if not easier. I don't even miss it at all.

Now I'm so much happier with my diet. And since I've stopped eating meat I've done even more research about it and found that the benefits stretch far beyond just not eating tortured animals. The meat industry is actually very harmful to the planet, and therefore harmful to humans and other animals alike. Now I feel very strongly about the whole issue...more strongly than I ever would have thought I would.

I know for some people eating meat is just "normal" and a habit they won't break. I'm glad I broke the habit though.

Also I'm glad you called yourself an animal. I hate when people justify eating meat by saying "it's just an animal." HUMANS ARE ANIMALS, TOO. So, I'm glad to see you're not making any stupid excuses about it. Hah.
