Meat's expensive and isn't too easy to prepare anyway, reducing the amount of meat that I eat has actually been pretty easy even though I eat about 3000 calories a day. I know "giving up meat" sounds hard but I really think everyone could reduce the amount of meat they eat by at least 60% every week without putting much thought at all into it.
Yeah, I was really surprised at how much I liked reducing my meat consumption, because it (embarrassingly) allowed me to be so much lazier in the kitchen, cooking easier meals. I don't even want to touch the raw food diet thing, because I worry I'll never pick up a pan again.
Raw is fun on limited occasions, although I'd never even attempt it on a regular basis. Nutritional arguments aside, I think it would get boring in a hurry. Plus, how to eat delicious potatoes as often as I do? From time to time I'll visit one of those trendy, overpriced raw food restaurants, and I always enjoy it, but I also always leave feeling like a sucker.
