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.

Incidentally, we're both healthier as omnivores. We both had all kinds of minor health problems go away or drop down to barely visible levels when we returned to meat eating. Energy better, fewer colds, better overall vitality, etc. Of course, adequate nutrition has a lot to do with that in our case, which leads back to the issue of assimilation.
