Little T grew up at my husband’s nursery. Her coop was decimated this Wednesday. Her unique personality will be forever treasured. She reminded us all how far a little happiness can go.
I must admit, I’ve been a meat-eater in the past. Over the last few years, I’ve stopped eating red meat, but have dined on poultry. Writing this piece has inspired me to finalize the vegetarian push. My son turned vegetarian two years ago, he’s a fabulous role model.
I hope you’re all managing each day okay.

Such a sweet face, and a sad fate.
But, alas, nature is not always nice.
What is nice is your decision to be vegetarian!
Welcome to the club!

Good morning, my friend!
You know, writing this really has rocked my chicken-eating world. I don’t eat red meat but I do sup on chicken. I must follow you and Max to a full v lifestyle! Though, I will not ever stop eating Peeps on Easter!š

Ah, Peeps are fine (and gooey)! š You know, Iāve often thought that if little kids could do one of those āschool visitsā to a chicken factory and see where their Chicken McNuggets come from, thereād be no way in hell the smart little buggers would ever eat them ā theyād turn up their noses and demand š„!!! The book that turned me around was Jonathan Safron-Foerās EATING MEAT (I think thatās the title?). Heās a novelist, but when he and his wife were about to have their 1st child, he wanted to know what best to feed for health and the planet. Vegetarianism is definitely a āplanet/climateā issue. That book absolutely blew me away!

Thanks, DS – I will check Safron-Foer’s book out. Years ago, I’d borrowed, Omnivore’s Dilemma, from Max. Pollan’s book was his required 8th grade reading. It shook me back then, admittedly, I’ve since forgotten much of it. But with what’s going on in the climate world, days of avoidance are over.

Welcome to veggie world. Stopped eating red meat around eight years ago. Chicken and seafood around two years ago. About a year to sort my cooking over to vegetarian, love cooking and trying veggies in new ways. New meals, new tastes and new mistakes š āļø

Hi there, George
Do I get a broccoli-shaped ID š
I hear veggie world is quite expansive. I look forward to learning from the pros! If you come across an excellent veggie recipe – send my way. But only a simple one, I’m a disaster in the kitchen.
Hope all is well in your world.
am:)
