Just an experiment

This week Ronnie and I are doing the vegetarian challenge. Tyler says that being a vegetarian isn't something that you can just do for a week and then forget about, because it's a big decision that must be weighed out carefully. He says that it'd be like turning gay for just a week. Well, he may be right that this is the first time that vegetarianism has become a one-week challenge, but we're still committed to it. For a week.
So today I was driving around looking for a place to eat lunch. It was really hard decision, since (a) I'd never had to choose a place based on whether it was meatless, and (b) I was really hungry, and it was hard not to just get a burger.
I decided to go to the Pita Pit. I'd never been there before and it seemed like the kind of place that would be veggie-friendly. I had a falafel pita. My coworkers were all shocked and horrified, having heard that falafels were the grossest food ever, but I really liked it. It was hearty and satisfying and really good. It might become my favorite restaurant this week.

Have you tried McDonalds french fries? I hear those digest pretty well . . . perfect for a vegetarian diet. One thing's for sure--they'll last a lot longer than your week long experiment.

Lets go get the sweet onion burrito at Bajio's sometime. I've had it before and it's way good.

Yeah, we were actually discussing your blog post when we challenged each other. We'll see if I survive the week, but so far so good.

I think I've gone more than a week without eating meat without even thinking about it. Definitely no where near the same thing as changing your sexual orientation for a week.
