Food shortages could force world into vegetarianism, warn scientists

48. Sounds like a reason to celebrate.

I quit meat in January. It was to support my daughter who wanted to go vegan, I wasn't going to go that far, still haven't. But, now I am thinking vegan would be better. The only problem is I really, really like cheese. I have always loved dairy a lot, much more than meat. I guess that is why the meat part was easy peasy, except I do crave chicken. I love love chicken, I have to scoot pass the roasted chickens in the store before I get too good a whiff, oh drat now I did it. I will be ok really. Anyway, it's really not that hard to quit meat. It will probably be difficult for a lot of people like me to quit dairy and eggs though. But, I do think if we all went vegan it would be the best thing.

BTW if you do go vegetarian be prepared for the shock of finding out how meat centric our culture is. It is very difficult to find vegetarian choices and it is wayyyyyyyy harder to impossible to find vegan choices, talking healthy choices not junk food, that is everywhere and easily found. I have had to cut entire restaurants out. I don't go to KFC for obvious reasons, Wendy's, Leane Chins however that is spelled. Perkins, Bakers Square, most pizza places, because I like cheese, but I want more pizza choices than plain cheese, Subway yuck went there got a veggie sandwich with avocado it was nearly inedible.

Burger King has a decent veggie burger so I go there occasionally. But, mostly I just eat out a lot less and avoid fast food, because it mostly sucks and I thought that before going sans meat. Jimmy Johns has one sandwich choice that is pretty decent #6 I think. Au Bon Pain has a good bean burger sandwich. If anyone has any other ideas I would love to know where else I can eat when I am out and about. No cheese pizza please, I like a full range of veggies on my pizza.
