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 try to eat ethoically raised meat because it is, erm ethical, bit also because it tastes better.

I once went vegetarian for six weeks for a bet, but by the end of it I was really craving meat and constantly tired. Cereals make me sleepy, bloated and slow-witted. I was almost convinced by the 'eat right for your blood type diet' which claims that Abs like me are desecened form nomads with no agrarian tradition so I should avoid wheat and live on venison and goat and lots of dairy.

So blood type is a consequence of what our ancestors did and ate? That's new to me- and fascinating.
