> Have you ever tasted tofurky?
No, but I'm going to pick some up at the natural market today. The Tofurky website says the roast is made with organic non-genetically engineered soybeans, and it's 100% vegan. And the reviews say it's pretty palatable.
I need to clean my system out after eating a lot of cured and roasted animals at a friend's Thanksgiving party. (Turkey, pig, and maybe a cow...all dead. :( And I bet they were all nice animals, too. ) I'll never understand why these innocent beings have to be part of the Pain and Suffering equation. I guess this is where radical acceptance comes in...
It was a lovely festive party with some interesting people from all over the place (France, Nigeria, Pakistan...). But instead of focusing on the lively conversations sprinkled with exotic accents, I kept ruminating about the poor animals and how they probably didn't feel very grateful to be stuffed with bunch of herbs and lemons, and bathed in who knows what kind of animal oils. I think I did a pretty good job pretending to listen though. I hope anyway.
Maybe it's my MI, but I've been feeling like cr*p after Thanksgiving. Tired and achy...just awful. I should have stuck to eating the fruit and veggie salads I brought instead of trying to be polite. But I kept drinking champagne and wine, and ate everything in sight. My physical condition can't all be about meat, but I swear, every time I eat a piece of steak, I can't get up the next day. And it takes a good week for me to recover from the worse than usual lethargy and depression.
Well, I feel a bit better today, so I'm going to force myself to get some fresh air and move my body around, and see if I can get myself back to baseline again. (Whatever that means.) Time for me to go vegetarian for a while.
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. Or just a nice Thursday if you didn't celebrate it.
