Vegetarian for a Month

So begins an experiment: one month of vegetarianism.

It's not because I don't love meat.
But I also love animals (yes, cue talk radio's "especially eating them")
I have an unhealthy--literally and figuratively--relationship with Buffalo wings. I order steaks on the rare side of medium rare. But Fast Food Nation, Omnivore's Dilemma, PETA, and my devotion to my pets are undeniable. Proof: I just got back from the dog park and it's 4 degrees.

I don't agree eating animals is immoral. I think factory farms are immoral.
We demand cruelty-free shampoo but still eat conventional cheeseburgers.
Yes, there's grass fed and free range. But I just want to see what it's like for one month.

Not forever.
31 days.
But damn it was hard to turn down that sausage this morning at the Egg & I.

Here it goes.
