A good conversation last night sparked a thought that has consumed a better part of the day. Fish.
I make a conscious choice to stop eating meats (Chicken, Beef, Pork, etc. etc.) but not fish. Rather, I fell into the habit of not eating it because when I moved in with my ex years ago he was strictly vegetarian. Not because he forced it on me either but because I didn’t see the point in keeping a flat of fish in the fridge when I was to be the only one to eat it. I think part of it might have been a security thing, lacking an identity so I was more apt to confirm to the ideas of someone else? I don’t know about the second one, but I know that it just happened.
Its also been stated (in one such case I’ve been sent) that your body wont get sick from eating meat again if you start. I found this interesting b/c I had become to believe the opposite. Clearly its not permanent, but I thought it took a while to adjust in either direction. I’ve seen it vary on a case by case basis as well. I think I’ve come to the understand that everyone just reacts different to it.
I don’t know that I’d start eating fish again, the idea makes me a bit squeamish, but its just something that’s been pondering all day. I’ve become steadfast in my beliefs as a vegetarian but I never stopped to question myself as to why I stopped eating fish… It’s inspired me to be more diligent in the information I seek out when making decisions on things in my life.

Fish… weird.
