The Omnivores Guide to Not Eating Meat

Hello Internet Friend's,

    So Easter is almost here and for some Christians that means lint is almost over and the Resurrection is upon us once again! (not just catholic's there are other Christians who do lent just maybe not as hardcore) 

I am telling you this not just because I am excited for Easter, which I totally am, but to inform you on why I have gone a little over a month completely meatless. First and foremost, I want to let you know that I love meat, especially chicken you can do a lot with it and it tastes really good!! It also helps you get essential nutrients that your body needs to be healthy, and it isn't evil or bad to eat meat. I know that some of my vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian friends may disagree, but according to the new testament of the Bible, Romans if you want some reference, I am all good. As long as the animals are treated humanely, I don't have any issues with eating a cheese burger every once in a while. 

 

       Now to the reason I gave up meat for lint, I felt like it controlled my life and I needed a break. I wasn't depending on God or even thinking about him nearly as much as I was thinking about what and where my next meal was coming from. Plus, I got a friendly gentle push in the way of becoming meatless from one of my good friends who is a vegan. So I said I would give it a try and it actually isn't that bad. 

      

     I expanded my cooking skills and am actually watching the food I am putting into my body instead of settling for the dollar frozen dinner in my freezer. I feel a bit healthier and less weighed down after I eat. So I challenge all of my other omnivores out there to try going meatless for a day or two. This doesn't mean just eat Mac and Cheese all day, but add fresh veggies fruits and beans. Try quinoa, a grain that is high in good fats, or eat some black bean and roasted corn quesadillas with some pico de gallo. Food like this makes, at least me feel energized and ready to conquer my day. 

I don't know if I would become meatless as a permanent lifestyle choice but I am a lot more open to trying it every once in a while. Have you ever gone meatless or want to try it? I would love to hear from you !! 

Until Next Time !
