Meatless Mondays: Do Something Good for the Earth and Your Health
In recent years I've been slowly moving away from beef, not because I dislike meat but rather I find beef to be tough and fatty nowadays. I'm not one that likes to eat greasy, heavy food and prefer lighter fare such as salads, baked fish and stir-fry variations with plenty of vegetables. I can eat a bowl of steamed broccoli or Brussels sprouts for dinner and be quite content.
Chicken, too, is losing much of its allure. I still love chicken tenders (processed nuggets in particular), but over the last few years I've noticed that most chicken purchased at the grocery store contains more and more slender tendons that are difficult to manage (to view and chew). Perhaps it has something to do with major chicken producers using chemicals and antibiotics in their eggs and chicken products. Who knows?
Whatever the case, I would be perfectly happy to live on fish and vegetables the rest of my life. I'm not sure if that qualifies me as a vegetarian, but if so then that's the way the cookie crumbles (as it were).
