Vit-a-Vet-a-Vegetarian


So, my sweet PETA-loving friend, Chrissy, sent Nat and I our very own PETA kit complete with a very disturbing video of how pigs are killed for meat. I'm all about animal rights for little Babe and the others, but I'm also all about delicious poultry. So, the 3 of us decided we would give up meat for 30 days. I figured if I could give up chocolate for Lent (40 days), this wouldn't be that difficult.

I didn't become a hardcore vegetarian cutting out all meat products like eggs and milk, because if you know me, you know I live for some Honey Nut Cheerios! But it was strictly no meat! It was tough.....but I was really proud of Natalia. As a half-breed Mexican, not eating meat is like not having a billion cousins named Jose....it's just not an option! But she did it! She went 30 days with absolutely NO meat! And so did I!! It was tough........I thought I'd be craving chicken the most because I eat chicken almost every day, but I didn't miss it that much. What I REALLY wanted these past 30 days was a big fat Oscar Meyer Weiner!! A HOTDOG!!


Now that the 30 days are over, tonight we are celebrating our 30 day fast from meat with the best hotdog in town: Tucker Hotdogs!!!! We're going there to see a movie and chow down like true carnivores!! I'm so excited I blogged about it!!
