Blech
I used to have doubts about whether I would be able to refrain from eating red meat again, but after today's lunch excursion, I'm pretty confident that I won't find it appealing any time soon.
I was standing at the counter of my favorite sandwich shop, waiting for my Veganini (grilled eggplant, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, pesto mayo, red onions, and balsalmic glaze on grilled foccacia) and my eye was drawn to an employee who was assembling a row of about 7 roast beef sandwiches. He took a package of meat from the refrigerator below his workspace, removed it from its wrapper, and peeled away the first slice. This in itself was not offensive, but in watching him do this I noticed that there was a stream of juice flowing from the beef, and in the dim light it looked like blood gushing from his wrist.
It's been a while since I've had such a disgusting reminder of why I try to keep a vegtarian diet, and I think I'll keep it in mind the next time I'm craving a cheesburger.
