That almost sounds strange to me. I know where meat comes from, but it still didnt stop me from eating it. Hell, I saw my Dad behead a chicken when I was 5 years old, but I still continued to eat chicken. Granted I didnt eat chicken for a while after that experience though...
I love meat as much as the next carnivore. While living in London my favourite place to eat was 64th & Social for the amazing steaks you'd get there.
In London I also realised how undisciplined I was am. I was always quitting smoking... until I had a few wines or one of my roommates were having one after a hard day. I was always abstaining from alcohol during the week... until an offer to go to a pub after work or to meet a friend I hadnt seen in ages. I was always on a diet... until I went to grab something from M&S or Tescos and found myself in the dessert section justifying a pastry because it was reduced from £3 down to 25p.
At first I considered abstaining from alcohol for a full year, but then I realised that would just be silly. I'm no fun sober. Haha, kidding. Or am I...?
I've gone without meat before... for a week or so. Never more than that though. I dont feel like it will be hard to give up, but I dont think it will be easy. Which is why, during my year without meat, I plan to give up another vice as well from time to time, for a month minimum. Alcohol, coffee, dairy, chocolate, carbs etc.
The purpose of the blog is basically to document the experience. People's reactions, body reactions, recipe posting, food discoveries, health discoveries, etc etc.
So here it goes. As of the 6th of August 2012, I will be meat-free for 365 days.
