I was thinking about meat because I am trying to question every assumption I have. But the more I think about it, the more I realize I really hate non-vegan food and I like being vegan because it gives me an excuse to not eat food I hate. I was a picky omnivore, but I'm not a picky whole foods vegan. So those foods have no value for me unless I am literally starving. Eating food you don't want when there is plenty, is a waste. In you or not. It's not a very grounding diet though, so I am trying to eat more nuts and beans and root veggies and dark green veggies.

When I was in Japan for two weeks, they knew I was vegetarian but kept trying to give me seafood, the one and only vegan food I hate. I would eat a tiny bit and then tell them I was full, and go to bed hungry. It's nice to be able to do that.

I'm going to a lecture on agroecology Thurs--should be good.
