    The Skinny Bitch Diet

    I've only read a few chapters of the book so far, and I'm very intrigued. But also, the idea of going vegan stresses me out. Yes, I believe exploitation is disgusting, but I also believe that humans are omnivores. It seems to go against my idea of what humans by nature eat. But what do I know? There is nothing wrong with putting perfectly healthy things in my body, I'm not scared of that. I'm not even scared of giving up meat and dairy. I'm so confused about what I should eat anymore, but the way the ladies in the book talk about all their organic vegan foods the more I want to try it. I do not think I will give myself the label of vegan because of what I believe about human nature. Animal products in moderation are not bad for you (maybe bad for your conscience), and I hate the idea of making someone go an extra mile so I can eat with their family or not eat at all.

    So I am going to give organic veganism a go, but I am not an organic vegan. Let that be known. Why put a stupid label on myself and limit my potential and possibilities? I suppose the Tao is indeed rubbing off on me.
