Well, three weeks of eating nothing but veggies, fruit, soybeans and whole grain can give one a different look on food. I went to Central Market the other. They are a sister company of HEB, and sell more organic/fresher foods. I grabbed my cart and made my way around the store, starting with the produce section. Many of the veggies on my list were priced a little higher than what I was used to paying, but I wasn't buying meat, so I figured what the hell. I loaded up my cart with fresh greens, avocados, tomatoes (heirloom), radishes, onions, fingerling potatoes, cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. I went on about my way, thinking about how I am going to prepare each of these veggies, going thru each section of the store, picking up each and every item on my list. I had never visited this store before, so I did some scouting while I was there. I walked past the canned goods and turned the corner of the freezer section and there was the meat department. I glanced quickly at the steak and ground beef, thinking I would want a piece of meat if I stared, but to my surprise, I actually gandered a bit longer. The meat kind of looked gross to me. Not to say that I will never eat a steak again, but right now, I have been experiencing so many flavor explosions with my latest recipes that I can do without meat for a bit longer. I feel better, like I have more energy. I have lost 6 more pounds since beginning my new diet, and overall, I think it is a healthier choice for me. I know my family of carnivores will never understand, but I think maybe I should have changed to this kind of lifestyle ages ago.
