are you currently vegetarian?

[Oldern]

I am not dependent of meat. My only real dependence left is that of sugar and/or coffeine, sadly. I can get on without sugar for weeks, but going on one day without my diet coke is REALLY hard. : D

But! I am choosing to slowly, but surely shift that reality, going into one when I am occasionally enjoying these beverages, without feeling guilt or remorse.

Now, for food intake, I am not really craving meat (except for once a month, or once in a quarter), but I do not avoid it either. I always hated the heavier red meat and preferred the lighter, subtler approaches, and the majority of my meat intake consists of some salami on the sandwich - nothing more. But I just realized that cheese is actually cheaper, and there is nothing better than having a meal consist of nothing but cheese and vegetables. Feels good...

I am considering going full no-meat vegetarian, but I will most likely still eat/drink cheese, yoghurts, egg and some mlik whenever I feel like it. I do not feel that it is a violation of animals in a way that eating their meat is. We started buying eggs from animal-friendly stores where chickens are not grown on trees, caged and stripped by every ounce of freedom - and that feels good already : D Having no need to eat heavy meat-based things must be because I always avoided fights and agressive lifestyle, so I consider it a non-virtue in my case, but a simple consequence.
