I forget to blog. Time just moves too quickly. Oh another week&#8217;s gone by? I also have the wedding blog to update.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, Bryan, Rachi and I went to see Carolyn perform at her recital. I told her she would be awesomeness, which is a real word btw, and she was, and then some. After her last piece, I turned to Bryan and said, &#8220;that was pretty cool.&#8221; He said, &#8220;that was awesome!&#8221; We told her she should play it at our wedding :)<\/p>\n<p>After the performance, the three of us went to Houlihans with Carolyn and Tom. We only ordered drinks since we had dinner at Uno&#8217;s earlier. I ordered some fruity thing I didn&#8217;t care for much. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the reason I actually remembered to blog is because I was reading this: <a href=\"http:\/\/jezebel.com\/5220018\/animal-advocate-doesnt-see-why-veganism-is-so-difficult-to-do\">Animal Advocate Doesn&#8217;t See Why Veganism Is So Difficult To Do<\/a>. It&#8217;s a good blog article and I enjoyed reading the comments after as well.<\/p>\n<p>It always bothers me when people make fun of vegetarians\/vegans. Some people in the comments said it&#8217;s because they act like they&#8217;re better than us for giving up meat. First of all, very few people are like that, but even if they are, I think they have a right to be. They are better than us. In fact, they&#8217;re doing us a favor by not eating meat. Meat eating isn&#8217;t good for the environment. <\/p>\n<p>Do I eat meat? Yes. Do i feel guilty about it? Not really. I don&#8217;t eat a lot of meat and when I do, it&#8217;s usually chicken. I can&#8217;t really make myself feel sorry for chicken. I&#8217;m not a big fan of meat and I hate cooking it, so if I cook for myself, it&#8217;s usually something meatless. I eat it when other people make it. Meat for me is just a matter of convenience.<\/p>\n<p>I could maybe be a vegetarian, but never could I go vegan. You all know how I feel about cheese. If I can&#8217;t give up dairy to look good on my wedding day, you know how important it is to me. It&#8217;s also a real inconvenience to other people. Most people I know don&#8217;t have a problem making special vegan food, but it&#8217;s harder. Anyway, it doesn&#8217;t matter since we all know it&#8217;s not going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>I think people should eat what they want and feel comfortable with &#8230; to an extent. We do consume an a lot of meat, well, a lot of food in general, and it&#8217;s really unnecessary. People should focus on eating healthy. A little bit of meat isn&#8217;t bad, we need protein, but too much of anything is bad for you. Everyone knows we should be eating more veggies and fruit, but we don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some meatless recipes if you feel like being healthy tonight.
