So, in preparation for spending some time at home over the recent holiday, I picked up what I thought was Jonathan Safran Foer's last novel, Eating Animals. Turns out it's not a novel at all (didn't research this one bit, obviously) but rather a book about his journey to find out where food comes from, initially sparked by him preparing to become a father. It's very well-researched, rich in context (social, historical, political, ethical etc.), and unsurprisingly disturbing when it comes to the implications of eating meat these days. Happy Thanksgiving to me! I'm not going to preach here (don't wanna be that asshole) but I would recommend the book to anyone who feels like they're willfully ignoring some unpleasant truths behind their daily practices.
Anyway, I thought I'd try out vegetarianism for a little while, after the new year. Seems like a healthy, ethical decision to make. Problem is, I know next to nothing about it and am not a very active cook to begin with. I'm curious to hear from any of you what that transition is like, any good resources to check out, delicious recipes... you name it.
Thanks in advance!
