New Year's Struggles


So being a vegetarian (or for discerning folks, a pescetarian) is not easy. Here's my struggles, revelations, realizations, and meandering thoughts so far:

1. Soy Cheese is gross. Granted, most vegetarians continue to eat dairy, but I try to avoid it because a) it's difficult to digest, and b) I am most ethically opposed to its means. So, I only drink soy milk.... so I thought soy cheese might be okay. It wasn't. "Veggie Slices" are even worse.

2. Meatless....err, meat does not taste like the original. Tofurkey doesn't taste too bad, but it smells like wallpaper.

3. I'm sick of peanut butter and jelly.

4. I miss chocolate.

5. There is chicken fat, powder, by-product, broth, stock, foot, kidney, face, or otherwise in most all convenience foods.

6. I'm always hungry.

Enough bitching,
