Not Proud

[poliphilo]

I've started eating meat. It's France that's to blame. You scour the menu for the vegetarian option and all they've got is crudites- you know, raw carrot and zucchini and stuff- so I made a decision before we went-  for the next five days I'm a carnivore.

What I hadn't been prepared for was how my energy levels went up. 

But I'm going to insist we buy meat that's been raised ethically. That's my quarrel with meat-eating- not that I'm sentimental about animals, because I'm not- but that industrial farming is disgusting. 

Last night we had lamb steaks- in a mushroom sauce- with mashed potato. 

I'd forgotten food could be such fun.

I have started to eat meat last year again, after 15 years of vegetarianism, when I discovered about my gluten allergy. You simply CANT live healthily without cereal AND meat/fish. Not to talk about the impossibility to find anything to eat at all while traveling.
And I have made the same experience you write about, regarding the energy levels.

Human beings are engineered to be omnivores. It's hard to go against biology.
