We Don't Eat Meat

Since having taken on this diet, I realize now how much meat I used to eat. However small the amount was or if it was just some bones to make soup, it was usually present every day. So when Todd and I went to visit my mom's this past weekend, I was not surprised to hear a common refrain: "Well, your father and I don't eat much meat either." Just to be contentious, I asked her to recall her last few meals. She could only remember two: a hamburger for lunch and turkey meatloaf for dinner. Then she offered us pea soup for lunch. "There's no meat in it, just vegetables," she said. "Oh, and a little chicken stock."
