I really appreciate your commentary on meaningless meat. That really reflects our culture of mass production which has taken over agriculture and meat production. Rather than localized consumption, we eat stuff grown who-knows-where containing who-knows-what. I'm volunteering with the Meatless Monday project (www.meatlessmonday.org) and learning a lot about the environmental impact of meat & dairy production. This is really important if we think about sustainable ways to use our land and water resources, since most of it is so polluting(not to mention the antibiotic content in the food!). The website has good meatless recipes of all kinds and some good info for folks trying to cut down on meat in their diet, but without being preachy! Good luck with your goals!

I think that if you stuck with eating vegetables only for a bit longer, and had the opportunity to experiment with different plant based cuisines, you'd find that non-meat can be as filling. A challenge (or some would say, benefit) of not eating meat is that you have to eat out less. Vegetarian restaurant options are not always "meaningful" as you put it. Since you are only eating 5 meat containing meals a week, what do you eat for the other meals? “Non-meat is less filling, but that’s okay, I don’t always want a brick in my stomach.”

I think it is quite admirable that you are "always trying to improve yourself." Thanks for inspiring others. I enjoyed reading your findings.
