So my wife and I gave up meat for Lent. We are Methodists, so we did not HAVE to, but chose to. We have been Methodist for 4 years and have given up things we consider to be "vices" or things we want to do less of or give up... hopefully form a habbit. You can also do things... so far I've given up alcohol, cussing (this was by far the hardest, but I don't seem to cuss very much any more), done more charity work (this one stuck the best), and this year, meat.
I actually thought I might stay vegetarian when it was over. I don't like the idea of commercial farming, what it is doing to our environment, or how animals are treated. I think I'm fine with the old hunter model of natural meat eating... but that is far from today. I also think it is healthier in many ways for someone like me.
Well, we have gone 1 week. So far dinners have included: Black Bean Burget at Friday's (yum!) Cheese Enchiladas, Spinach Enchiladas, Taco Soup, Boca Burger (YUCK!), Tempeh stir fry at home (YUCK YUCK YUCK!), and tofu stirfry at Mama Fu's (yum). I am starting to worry. This is terrible. Any of you veggie people have great ideas that meat loving people like?
I have to say, hot wings is my biggest craving right now.
