It's my next big idea, being a Pescetarian. What the hell is a pescetarian?
Essentially, it's a vegetarian, but you can eat fish, eggs, cheese and what not. So, indeed, i'm becoming a vegetarian of sorts.
So, now to the why i am doing it. I read an interesting article surfing the web one evening. It discussed the evolution of man and how humans are natural herbivores. It also talked about the harm done to human bodies that consume meat. Combine nature, harm from meat consumption and environmental issues i decided to take the plunge.
So this blog will now be tracking my process, the ups and down, the new menu and how i cope as a pescetarian.

Mike,
It is excellent you are taking this step to reduce meat consumption by cutting out meat from your diet. I intern with Meatless Monday, a nonprofit with Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health that encourages going meatless at last one day of the week to improve personal health while reducing our carbon footprint. The Youtube video explains in more depth the history and science behind the campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnKeYmR1NM. The website also has various recipes that you may enjoy trying out as you start this transition into pescetarian. For instance, you could try the zesty Jamaican Jerk Tofu (http://www.meatlessmonday.com/jamaican-jerk-tofu/) or the simply fresh Asparagus Salad (http://www.meatlessmonday.com/asparagus-salad/).
