For the past couple of weeks I’ve been on what I guess you would call the vegetarian fence. I’ve completely cut out red meat and pork from my diet. The only meat I still eat on occasion is chicken and fish and I think I had turkey once.
I say on the fence because from everything I’ve read about transitioning to a vegetarian diet the main advice is to ease into it. Cutting out red meat and pork are the primary things you should try and start working out of your diet. Once you’re comfortable with that keep subtracting other meats/seafoods as you feel comfortable.
There’s no big philosophical epiphany behind my decision to try and go vegetarian. To be honest it’s mostly a health issue, convincing myself that if I can ultimately hold myself to a truly vegetarian diet that it HAS to be healthier than the diet I’m currently eating. Somehow I imagine if my vegetarian diet consisted solely of cheese pizzas that might even be healthier than some of the decisions I currently make.
As is the case with most everyone, my diet is currently governed, for the most part, by time and money. I’ve found however, that since cutting out red meat and pork I’ve actually noticed a difference in the quality of food I eat. I’ve also been choosing healthier portions and a wider variety of foods.
I definitely have a very long way to go before I’m anywhere near my goal of having fresh, healthy choices come as second nature to me. For now though, I can say that cutting out red meat and pork has made a noticeable difference in how I feel on a day to day basis. And on the upside if I decide to jump on that Muslim bandwagon I’ll already be halfway halal.
OK, the two are probably unrelated but they deserve a big kudos for both. The Giants get props for humiliating the Rangers that destroyed my Yankees and now they get even bigger props for taking a step that should be adopted by every city around the country.

Soon it’s going to be easier for us to just start keeping track of what doesn’t cause cancer rather than what does. In case you’re keeping track, you can add mouthwash to your list.
When Steve Jobs announced he wouldn’t be giving his usual keynote address at this year’s Macworld it renewed the flurry of rumors that he was on his death bed. Now these rumors aren’t completely unfounded because any Mac fanboy can tell you that during 2008 Jobs looked like he was literally wasting away.
The first day of quitting smoking is always the strangest. You’re vision feels fucked up, your mind is in a million different places and nowhere all at once. You can’t think, you can’t not think. Earlier a guy got on the elevator and pushed the floor that was before mine, so it meant one extra stop for me, I thought I might lose my mind, I imagined grabbing the guy and throwing him out of the elevator when we got to his floor.
