Problems

          Almost a year ago, I decided that I’m going to be a vegetarian. Well actually, I didn’t just decide. There is a story behind it, but that’s really beside the point. Anyways, ever since then, my diet has obviously dramatically changed. At the beginning, I tried doing that whole eating like a stereotypical vegetarian; tofu, tons of beans, weird organic food, making my own veggie burgers and the such. But after a couple months, that became too much of a hassle. Now I find myself eating way too much pasta and eggs, separately of course.

           Choosing to not eat meat also give me quite the hassle. I’m the type of person who likes to eat a real meal instead of snacking on things. I like a good hearty meal that will hold me down. Finding something like that to eat when going out is really difficult. You would think that there would be more options for people like me. Like come on people, we’re in America here! There are plenty of people with ‘uncommon’ diets. There should be more a variety! With the numbered choices, I have found that I have opened my mind to many new foods. A year and a half ago, you would not have caught me dead eating a veggie burger, or tofu. But here I am not, telling people that give me she’s insane looks, that it really isn’t all that bad!
