Vegetarian?

**update**

Maybe this will be my food blog too?

My first vegan meal starts today for lunch. I had...

-some hummus
-with pita
-soy chips
&
- a banana

It was yum.

For dinner I'm making veggie burgers on pita with green onions and mustard
and maybe some puffins cinnamon cereal with banana pieces for dessert.

This is kinda fun..

Today is my official start to vegetarianism!

Why? I've been eating pretty vegetarian throughout this pregnancy because I can't have lunch meats and most of the organic lunch meals I get are all vegetarian and I haven't minded it in the slightest, so I know I can do it. Obviously there's a lot of health benefits to it to and also because of the meat industry and the way they are run. I'm all for free range chicken and grass fed cows but that's so hard to find so I'm just cutting it out entirely. Watch food inc. and you'll see exactly what I mean about the meat industry being just nasty and shady and downright disturbing. No way am I supporting them by giving them my money.

 I just ordered a vegan cook book too that's supposed to be really good. I'm really excited to try it out.

The only thing is, I think I may still do seafood. I don't have any issue with fish, shrimp, clams, etc.  Oh and eggs.

I don't know what you'd call it, but it's pretty much just meat.  And don't worry, I'm still going to be getting loads of protein for the baby whether it's tofu, beans, or whatever. The baby's nutrition is not going to suffer from this decision. I love hummus and falafel and all that god stuff.

I'm really excited about this though. Can't wait to try out all these new foods and see if it's something I can realistically (pocketbook wise too) do.

Here goes :)
