Today I dined with my mother. We went to the eye doctor and after that, we ate. I couldn't tell what she had because my pupils were dilated, but I had a vegetable quiche, some slices of pineapple, tomatos, cucumbers, some carrots and a little soy. I had about 2 pounds of food. Mind you, this was not a vegetarian place, but it was in the upscale part of town, so their salad buffet was better than just lettuce, tomatos and peas.

I get the lure of meat. Thing tastes fucking good! I didn't become a vegetarian on my own account. Most of it was because of my girlfriend. Sometimes it was hard - not like detoxing in Trainspotting (http://youtu.be/OaSuSnUJm3E), jesus, no - but it was a hard habit to break. Only after I cut down on red meat, I realized how the goddamn thing is everywhere and how it comprised most of the food on my plate.

So, if I may, I don't think you're addicted, I think it may just be the habit. "Custom is the great guide to human life." -- David Hume
