My Non-Vegetarian Issues

[unico_love]

Today I am having a chicken sandwich with guacamole on it. I had decided last month to eat meat once a month so as to avoid cravings and giving up on vegetarianism altogether. I may not be a vegetarian, but I eat like one except for once a month. I figure the little amount I will consume is still better than what I would consume if I went back to my old diet and completely gave up on vegetarianism. I think there is too much emphasis placed on an "all or nothing" attitude in regards to veganism/vegetarianism and other means of helping the environment and animals. If everyone did what they could feasibly manage to leave less waste in the environment and to help animal causes there would be a greater impact and greater change than everyone feeling like they have to do all of that perfectly and completely and many people knowing they can't do that for one reason or another. We can all help in some manner. I can't afford to have all my products completely environmentally friendly, but I'm switching over a lot. Sometimes there are cheap, homemade replacements available. I also am keeping my leather and suede clothing. I don't intend to buy any more (unless there were some reason that necessitated it), but I'm not going to put to waste what I do have, or give things away that are still very useful to me and would be costly to replace.
