diet for 23 years.
I learned how my body reacts to different foods and what I want to eat from now on.
I enjoyed it, even if it s not a lifestyle change that I ll likely stick to all the time.
For the past 23 years of my life, since I could manage solid foods, I ve eaten meat. It was always a staple in my family s diet.
Chicken was something eaten daily, ham sandwiches were often school lunches, and tacos always had beef in them. This was what I always knew, and I d never even entertained the idea of being a
vegetarian.
For context, I was raised Catholic and although I disagree with many teachings within the church, I go to mass every Sunday with my family. My relationship with the church is complicated, but I do take Lent seriously. I always give something up and make sure to fast on the designated days.
