There are definitely huge environmental advantages to cutting down on meat that's for sure- I know you were talking about it over on another post but I think it's commendable to take any step at all towards making a difference. If everyone did, we would be in an entirely different world one day soon :)

You know, I don't think I can say I have ever liked the taste of meat without any seasoning or the way it was cooked so isn't it the spicing and cooking we owe the taste and satisfaction to? Then you have the texture but they've figured that out already with tons of plant based stuff like mushrooms even!

That's funny that your dad does that too! I think you hit the nail on the head with your analysis of it. He was doing it just to mess with me and rile me up. Over time when I started showing him some recipes, meals and stats he slowed down and in the end wanted me to help teach him how to bring vegan food into his restaurant so it's all just getting familiar with the new. Give your sis a high 5 because it can be hard to take from a dad as a daughter. I felt a lot of anguish about it even though he was joking!

Honestly, I swear it's like anything. At first it's hard as F! At least it was for me. I cried and whined and acted like a baby that I couldn't get my meat fix. After a while my body let go of all that and now I just have no desire at all for it anymore. <3
