So much for social meat eating September 10, 2008
Posted by Sharny in : Life , trackbackAlthough I continue to claim coinage on the term (granted I probably wasn’t the one to come up with it) I can’t really say that’s what I am any more. It did start out that way, yes, but I seem to be just be eating meat as normal now.
Apparently starting again I got something of a taste for it again, really I don’t think vegetarianism was for me, I’ve never enjoyed restricting my options and this was the biggest restriction of them all. If I’m honest it kinda fits in with the plans that I had originally where I would scale up my meat eating to a sort of normal level so I was comfortable with it in preparation for being in the US. I wasn’t sure exactly how this would work at the time but apparently things have just slotted into place.
I was originally going to write more about the idea of social meat eating and the massive moral cop out that it is. It’s sort of like some kind of fence sitter, not strong enough in belief to not do it under peer pressure but will try and keep it up out of sight of the rest of the world. Really quite a terrible way to go about things from a strong moral standpoint. I think in that sense just calling myself a meat eater like everyone else is much better.
So far I don’t really feel any different, so it remains to be seen whether eating meat will really effect me very much but it’s nice to be able to eat the real version of some favourite meaty meals again, particularly curries, pizzas and also the joy of some real (bastardised, as we English tend to do) fajitas.
Essentially, it’s all ended up ok in the end. That’s always nice…
