FIE on it, I say

I was a vegetarian for six years, but last year around Christmas time, I started eating meat again. I quit again at the beginning of August. I have gained five pounds in TWO WEEKS, so it looks like I will be an omnivore again. I'm still trying to figure out what the right diet is for me to be healthy, feel good and keep my weight stable, but it looks like being a vegetarian isn't it.

This is really unfortunate since in many ways, since it's far more convenient for my lifestyle. In terms of food safety, being a vegetarian is the way to go these days and it's much cheaper to eat out in restaurants (fast food excepted -- it costs the same or more, for various reasons).

Oh, and speaking of health, Washington D.C. had it's second PURPLE ozone day yesterday. The highest concentrations that I could find in Virginia (which were indeed in the purple range) were in Springfield. Purple is completely unprecedented, is "very unhealthy" for *everyone*, not just sensitive groups, and doesn't even appear on the air quality guide chart! Re-timing lights is not going to get Washington to meet federal clean air standards. Nothing but razing the suburbs could do that.

I have been a vege boy for almost 3 years now, and i feel great. I have not been sick in ages, and i havent had the flu in 2 years, so that must tell us all that our sicknesses come from our food, and what we eat. I tried vegan for a while, but i couldnt live without my melted cheese on top of pasta....mmmmmm! lol

just remember, dont listen to what others have to say, make sure you eat what makes you happy, and feel good. I hope your search for a food source is found soon, cos you must be a little fed up with changing?

cheers
