No, not me.
Remember that coworker? Yeah. He caved.
He says that he wasn't craving meat, but was putting on weight and panicked. He needed to return to his 'safe routine.'
Eh.
Of course I'm a little disappointed. But I have to look at the upside.
First, he ate one less week's worth of meat. Second, he said that he is going to cut back (and even had a vegetarian lunch today).
Like I've said a few times.. This isn't about changing people 100%; as much as I wish I could. It's about making people aware, and inspiring them to move in the right direction. My coworker has done that.. even if he couldn't do it completely.
My husband, on the other hand, is flourishing. I don't think he's noticed the meat being gone at all. Since all of our dinners are completely vegan (for my sake), he only has to contend with lunch. I've heard no complaints.. and it gets even better..
He's contemplating going vegan. :D
That's right. My meat-eating, dairy addict of a husband.. has started cutting back on milk on top of cutting out the meat.
When I first met him, he was drinking a half gallon of milk every single day.. if not more. Since being married, it's gone down to maybe a gallon each week..
Well, when he went grocery shopping.. he came back without any milk. Instead he had some strawberry lemonade. He proudly pointed to it on the counter, and said, "See. I didn't get milk. I'm going to give it a try."
I was so very proud and appreciative of his efforts.
I appreciate it.. and she definitely appreciates it.
