I have been 80% pescatarian for quite a few months and I have been 100% pescatarian for the last 2 weeks. I would like to call myself a veggie as it sounds less poncey but I have not given up fish as I just don't feel sad when I think about fish being farmed in horrible conditions (although there was that time when me and Tiny witnessed unexpected and distressing trout-murder in Wales - but I could only feel happy for the poor thing when the man hit him with a truncheon after seeing the miserable tank he was fished out of).......anyway.........I have fully renounced meat and am quite pleased with myself. I am forced to run past a local farm where the poor cows stand in the cramped cowshed, plastered in filth day after day looking terribly sorry for themselves and I realise that "locally sourced" and "outdoor reared" are terms quite open to abuse. I can now run past and feel terribly sorry for them without feeling directly responsible for their fate.I ate Tofu for the first time ever this weekend and doused in sweet-and-sour sauce whilst concentrating hard on past taste-bud experience it tasted a bit like chicken but with none of the guilt. The only slight problem with this is that I don't want other people to feel bad when they are eating meat and I am eating tofu...........but maybe they should............oh am I turning into an activist??? WTF is happening to me???? Am going to drink beer to reassure myself everything is normal.............um - are any animals harmed in the process of making beer - this could all get very complicated!
