I’ve been toying with the idea of vegetarianism for a while (I even gave up meat for lent this year!), but I don’t really feel the same passion you feel about animal rights. Really, I just love vegetables.
I normally eat meat at about 3-4 meals a week, usually when it’s the best or only option provided (I’m a college student eating in a dorm so options are limited sometimes). The rest of the time, I eat a lot of plants. It’s not unusual for me to eat an entire plate of green beans with my dinner, plus fruit and some other sort of veggie.
I’m definitely not a vegetarian, nor would I ever label myself a vegetarian, but I am passionate about my veggies.

Buying legumes and grains in bulk is far cheaper than buying little bags of the fancy organic brands, or even the regular bags of Goya stuff. To this day–and as I reenter student life–I intend to live off of bulk bins. I won’t be buying goji berries or pine nuts anytime soon, or for a while, but I feel confident that even as my budget downsizes again, I can maintain happiness, good taste, and health as a vegan who eats high raw.
