Vegetarian

I haven't eaten meat in about a week and a half. I don't really miss it. I have had to get a little creative with my menus, but I've discovered some really great recipes that I likely would not have tried while I was still eating meat. So far, I haven't even attempted to go vegan, as I have learned that animal products are in almost everything. I bought some veggie cheese slices, only to find out that they contain milk protein. Of course, it doesn't say "milk protein," it says "casein." Kind of sneaky, don't you think? I have also learned that sugar isn't necessarily vegan. Who would have thought that bones from cows are used to whiten sugar??!!?

So for now, I am simply refraining from eating meat, and trying to greatly reduce other animal products. I will continue to educate myself about animal products that are in food, and hopefully I can save the lives of a few animals.
