Dear world, I'm turning to the dark side

I have an announcement to make.

I am, as of today, a (pesco-)vegetarian...at least for the summer. (though I probably should finish all that marinated stuff in the freezer). Hopefully this public declaration will actually help me power through this...endeavor, if you will.

I used to say I'll never give up meat...

And yes, declaring on Facebook and Twitter was not enough.



Also, in other news, Marcus, David, Alan, and Taylor went to DC, stayed at the Parrish residence for a few nights, for the Fourth of July weekend. Happy belated birthday, Amurrika. Thanks for not deporting me yet.

  1. DON'T DO IT JAE. No really, meat is so delicious, come visit me in Texas and I'll fix you up with the best barbeque you've ever tasted, and maybe you'll change your mind.

  2. WHY JAE WHY! Don't you remember ribs? And chicken? Prime 16 burgers? Simply put, summer was made for meat.

  3. I blame Joe. Always knew he was a bad seed.

    You two should try to join a CSA and split the box.

  4. Haha! I'm afraid I can't take any credit. I'm glad you realise that there are more important things than taste, though. It's that capacity that makes us human... The idea that meat's tastiness trumps health issues and gargantuan ethical problems is completely absurd. <3 <3 <3

  7. Clearly Joe seasons his vegetables with crack. What makes us human is not the capacity to choose on moral grounds. No, it's the capacity to go from fucking taking down a woolly mammoth with nothing more than a sharpened tree branch to domesticating wild beasts solely for the purpose of brutally slaughtering them, throwing their carcasses on a flame grill and getting drunk off our asses while watching it burn and ooze deliciousness. Show me any other organism with that capacity, Joe. I dare you.
