A compromise on my preferentially vegetarian diet
For the past year or so I have been adhering to what I call a preferentially vegetarian diet: I would eat vegetarian food whenever it was reasonably convenient to do so and wouldn't cook meat at home. That still had me eating meat once or twice a week but it meant I appreciated it more when I did so.
Recently, however, I have begun wearing an Invisalign device that requires me to spend no more than about two hours per day eating. This means that I can no longer get by on a primarily vegetarian diet, thanks to my stratospheric metabolism. But I was reluctant to completely abandon my progress with reducing my meat consumption so I thought about reason I ended up finally going that route and realized that it was because of the truly awful factory-farming practices in vogue through this country's food industry.
My compromise, therefore, is to start eating meat again but avoid the big 3 culprits: pork, beef and chicken. This still lets me eat all sorts of other meat like seafood, bison, goat, duck, rabbit, etc. Let's see how that works out.
