i stopped eating meat entirely for a bit, recently. this is not something i ever really saw myself doing.
first off: i'm eating fried chicken right now. it made me feel like shit. my body really missed the protein. exercise a lot
but progression was like
a) gradually started to eat less and less [meat] over the years. more peanuts, ravioli. you know.
b) some mild health/digestive issues (pretty boring and not worth discussing) and cut more out
c) prices just making me go ppf. then, ppPPF!
d) last few days: oh, i'll have some oatmeal. some ravililoilooi. some trail mix. i'll make fondue. a bean burrito
e) hell i have a streak going and i don't really have much meat-food anyways
f) i feel like poop i need chicken -stat-
i'm still going to be rather minimal on meat.... but tofu, i have tofu in my fridge. and it doesn't freaking cut it. so lethargic. chicken. help

If you have extra meat in your fridge or freezer send it to me I’ll eat it. As for tofu, there’s a few of them I’ve tried and kinda liked but I’m not sure I could go vegetarian. I mean have you ever had a $11.99 steak at Applebee’s?? Gdam, yummy!

for me the problem is more the carbs/sugars etc.
I'll get a couple of filet mignons for 23 bucks and cook them up but also eat like 4 pieces of garlic bread or something. I've cut out making the sides and now just roll with a salad with homemade ranch (store bought ranch sucks my dick)

i was tempted to fetch a chicken from the local fryer/baker. shop has been there for over 35 years and i have fond memories about it. just couldnt do it thinking about how they´re bred industrial style, lots of being sick and in featherless and how i would much rather like to eat it knowing it came from a real farm, which is weird in a way, cause i dont care much about their heads being chopped off. i dont like chickens that much although i hear they are quite cuddly.
yesterday i passed three roadkill in less than 2 hours and my mind played me the whole scenario of a creatures bones and everything being squashed, twitching in pain. and their lives being ended. really horrible. somehow it doesnt apply to chickens in the same way, when i nibble on their bones.
anyway i yearn for chicken too and i will still have it at times. preferrably from farm though. industry is torture, but i could get away with murder.

never could say i noticed anything different about eating or not eating meat regularly apart from the poop, btw.
scientists have a very clear opinion about it today: unnecessary and unhealthy. gotta have some proper food though. stopping to eat meat and having toast instead is obviously not working. gotta have some full grain bread for example. nuts, (as you said epic) beans etc. guess we all know that by now.

To each their own, it’s prol healthier and we know it’s better for the planet but give me a 16oz steak (that’s pretty small) and I will destroy it! Sounds like Applebee’s for dinner!!

i realized i hadn't eaten meat for a few days, a no-meat streak, i tried to keep going, it made me feel like poo, i ordered fried chicken. vegans are of two categories a) malnourished b) sedentary

but reasonable things said in this thread. grilled chicken breast, absolutely. i think you can probably compensate with planned, tactical eating, but... who has the time

so i guess i'm neither. i cut down on meat, tried giving it up, decided cutting down worked, giving it up didn't. both sides hate me. i'm a rebel. don't read the directions just throw it in the microwave three minutes on high ok

my nugget rage (not really, i just like the sound of that) cont'd:
$2.50 is kind of what i remember, then over $3, around $4 i'm only buying one pack instead of two or three and i open one (1) pack i bought at that price, and... the fuck, they're... smaller?
...and, no, the net weight is the same. so what... oh. by making them smaller, they can use more breading, less meat, while putting "more" nuggets in the pack.
that moment was a river named the rubic^H^H^H get stuffed. bought them once or twice on sale, since. i half wager everyone else is all "you've crossed the river known as 'get stuffed' and the only real consumers are rich people who DGAF and moms with particular(ly) autistic children.
i feel kind of bad for the grocery store. they'll set there are $5-6 until they've almost expired, then they'll go on stale for almost $5, then finally they're really on the edge and fly off the shelves in a day for $3.50, at a loss to the store. that i don't feel warm and fuzzy about the store, i merely note they've done nothing to deserve this shit.

...and if you want to, you know... understand
here is a post i wrote feb 24th as the finale to one of my trademark waves of post. no one replied to it, but it stuck out in my mind because i was rather satisfied with how it came out -- and this is the only reason i ran a database search; found the thread to reply to myself again -- oh, yes, i have a thing for that. i should report back
it's quaint enough in isolation, but scale that up into... vast amounts of what i've written; conversations i've had 20 years ago... that everything triggers... some shit i remember... and there's only more of it in there as time goes on
the tradeoff, i suppose: that i'll be working on a track, and out of nowhere, my brain says, "you should sample this specific bit from this particular episode of The Wire" and i haven't watched the show in four years and here you go, the perfect sample. and it was; my brain is rarely wrong when it's sure. and it tells me how sure it is
then, daily basis, i'm doing basic human shit like putting stuff in the fridge and OH YEAH that reminds me, and at least i had the presence of mind to finish putting the rest of the shit in the fridge before writing all this.
have a nice day.

is $4.50 for a bag of stop and shop brand onion rings insane? i feel like it might be, but i don't really buy them in general.
the nuggets i have, like -- $2.50, that's the core neuronal crossover that pulled it out of the muck, but, yes, it was $4.59 regular there, the smaller store i cited earlier, i said $5-6 and it was like ~$5.69
but, onion rings... store brand or not... i have no data

i don't try to remember this stuff. it accumulates like gunk in an air filter. evaluating what gets stuck in there is more interesting.
i think a very standard way to fail the shit out of mindfulness is to build it up into some Incredibly Serious Thing that Requires Discipline and you have to follow Complicated Procedures because It Matters and otherwise It Won't Work and that last part, you've just told yourself this has to be some masochistic shit or it won't work, so then, obviously, it only works if you're a mindless lamb and flagellate yourself
one day, long ago, i'm in a bit of a puckish mood; i decide to just give in to the absurdity. my brain is serving up the most random shit. i've spent so much time being frustrated with it that i'm kind of over being frustrated. then i begin judging the offerings like some prim fuddy-duddy judging pigs at a towne faire, with dashes of a game show. tell him what he's won
in retrospect, the key mechanic was that i began to actively quantify what came back -- "how sure" was an eventual byproduct of me being like a fancy cat with a monocle examining bits of colorful yarn and fancy buttons, to judge the quality. it was incredibly silly, but the machine back there listened, and i started to get yarn of better color and buttons that were far more fancy.
but no the closest most have to this is "mindfulness" and "pay very close attention to what goes on inside you" and this is supposed to bootstrap... what?
you're much better off having the self-important man who judges pigs at the faire evaluate these things. or the cat with the monocle. or simon cowell and the other two twits
but eventually, some wiring for stuff like "how old does this memory feel like it is" and "how sure am i that i have this right"
