Eating Meat

[poliphilo]

I've changed the way I eat. I used to be a vegetarian (who would occasionally indulge in sushi or fish and chips). Now I'm regularly cooking joints. 

The night before last I was eating lambs liver on a bed of rice. Last night it was roast brisket of beef. The other day, in a restaurant, I had a steak sandwich with a mustard crust.  It was the must delicious thing ever.

I made the change for reasons of health. I don't have much energy at the best of times. Never did.  But subsisting on a diet of bread and potatoes wasn't helping.

I believe I'm putting on weight. I'm certainly changing my- ahem- contours. 

I try to keep things ethical. When I buy meat I want the assurance that the animal had a good quality of life. But I realise the labels I rely on may be bending the truth. 

For the first time in ages I'm actually enjoying my meals.  I'm enjoying cooking them too.

I've found the best way to guarantee the meat you buy is healthful (as well as eggs and dairy) is to buy from a farmer's market, if possible. If not, Co-Ops and natural food markets should be fairly honest.

Food truly is amazing! :)

I should explore whether there's a farmer's market round here. I don't know of one, but, then, I haven't been looking.
