August 22, 2011 was the first day of my conversion to Pescetarianism ! So I am going into my 7th day, I have not turned green or sprouted an extra eye! I have craved a burger with bacon…but I will get over it.
I have been contemplating this change for some time now…it is not political(maybe a little, see below). It is ME! I care about me. I am attempting to make better diet changes for myself. I have been leaning on the vegetarian (Ovo-lacto) diet, but I do want to continue to eat fish, which is healthier then the “meat” I was eating. The meat I was eating was usually hamburgers or compressed chicken patty type fast food. And when dining out, it was usually always fish or chicken. And let us not forget the BACON…ohhh the bacon.
I do have to say, that my last home cooked chicken meal was the best I had had in a long time, so that will be a good memory, if I can really stick to this.
If you are interested, here is a LINK to learn more about the pescetarian diet.
The only “political” thing abut this is that I am really trying hard to eat organic and sustainable food that does not contain GMO. What we feed the food that we eat is horrible and the way we treat them is horrible. I do believe that if you can treat the animal respectfully as it is growing into the food that we eat, then it is OK.
