My first post

So, this is us. I think it's kind of nice to see who it is your reading about. It's not the most flattering picture- its us sitting on the sofa and creating our blog. Just regular people who are about to step a little outside of our dietary comfort zones.

Both of us have tried some form of meat restriction in the past. I declared to my mom in 7th grade that I refused to eat the veal that she had slaved all afternoon to prepare. She tried calling my bluff, saying- fine, you shouldn't eat meat at all then. Moms, don't ever challenge your 7th grader. She quickly declared that a growing girl needed some meat to survive, and that I would be required to eat chicken. I think she just had no idea what she would cook every night cause we weren't the biggest veggie family. I held to it and stuck with chicken only until my freshman year when McD's moved into town. I just couldn't resist a cheeseburger. But, to this day, I'm not a bug beef eater.

Kyle has his own tales of veggie-hood. He can tell u about that.

But for both of us, those days are long gone. We love burgers and ice cream and cheese. Oh the cheese! I'm going to miss cheese.

We tossed around the idea now and then, but neither of us really have wanted to give up our carnivorous ways. We'd eat veggie for a week and the next week eat some of the worse offenders- sausage, burgers.

So, day 2 and I'm animal product free and I haven't gotten the shakes or brittle bones yet from lack of cheesy goodness.
