I think I should give up eating meat but I don't know if I can

I have the will power of a gnat. DU Veggies, I need a kick in the arse to go through with it.

1. Go into the gross out thread

And look for the picture of the foot.

Whenever you have the urge to eat meat, think about it.

:D

2. WHat kind of meat? Red? Hamburger?

Try ground turkey if you eat a lot of ground beef - it's really quite good!

3. I used to eat ground turkey alot

I'll have to try it again.

4. Cut down on it

You don't have to go "cold turkey." (Pun intended) I think if you cut down on meat, you learn new recipes and find new restaurants that allow you to eat vegetarian. Over time, you will have enough recipes to cut out meat, if you want to.

If you get the chance, pick up a copy of Diet For a New America by John Robbins. It's one of the better books out there on the subject since it covers the health and animal welfare arguments for a plant based diet.
