Cutting the meat

I have issues with some foods, this is not new news to most who know me well, one of the foods, that I tend to have the biggest issue with is... MEAT! I can't deal with it in a lot of states, it isn't the tenderness in my heart for animals (except when it comes to rabbit and duck, these... that is added in and I just can't deal, it is like a dog to me, the thought is unimaginable, though that is not all true, I have tried them... Alex has prepared them and I have tried.) It is something about the bones, the tendons, the bits... ugh. Alex has gotten to the point to understand that he is the one in charge of dealing with it. He takes care of the de-boning and the picking up after the meat products. which I am thankful for!

I have dabbled with the idea of becoming vegitaian before, though never followed through. We think about it at times, but it would be difficult with out Alex buying into the idea so... he has bought into the idea of cutting down on it.

Many people don't think at all about what is put in their bodies, that makes everything easier... but it is like sticking your head in a hole... how is it any different than not voting and complaining for the entire term about who was elected... or never studying and being upset of your grade.... never going for a walk/run/exercise and wondering why you are out of breath when you do have to walk... there is simply no excuse.

I myself am not without guilt, I do still drink Diet coke... though I am proud to say I am down to one a day at the most... and will continue to drop. But it is about the consciousness. Do you realize what is goign into your body, what those ingredients are, what you are ingesting an what it does to both your mind, and waist line. We all often forget of the impact that our ingestion has on our mental health.
