r a i n & s k y

I haven’t been to class in nearly a month, I have about 4 chapters to cover in all 5 of my classes before Thursday, I’m about $1500 in debt, I don’t have a job as of Saturday, and I have so many other household chores to do this week.

Things are tough all over. Tough like steak.

Mmm…steak.

Did I ever mention how I am a bad vegetarian?

So, umm, yeah, I’ve been trying to go not just vegetarian, but VEGAN for the longest time. I can handle substitute foods very well; I like sugar substitutes, soymilk, veggie burgers, veggie cheese, tofu, you name it as a replacement for meat, milk, and eggs, I eat it.

But I LOVE meat. I know anyone who is a vegan on the principal that eating meat or animal products is cruel to animals is cringing. But I really do love meat.

Meat is tasty. I won’t deny it. Put a plate of rare steak and a plate of vegan zucchini lasagna in front of me and I’ll almost always go for the burger, drooling as I practically inhale it.

I want to go vegan based on the health benefits and the sustainability (as far as eco thinking is concerned) offered by eating only plants.

But everywhere I turn, there are animals. DELICIOUS animals, in various delicious forms. My family practically eats nothing but meat, so they’re absolutely no help.

I can eat all sorts of meat and animal-product substitutes, but I have no problem with the idea of personally going into the woods, slaying and gutting a cute whitetail deer, taking it to a butcher, and making a roast out of it.

I’m the worst vegetarian ever. （●´･△･｀）はぁ〜
