I love eating meat. For health reasons, I have had to cut out most saturated fat, and cut way down on my meat portions. So instead of a year ago, where I would throw a 1 LB steak on the grill, I cut that steak in three pieces, and get three meals out of it. I fill in the rest with whole grains, vegetables, and fruit.
I almost orgasm though, when I get a little piece of well singed fat from the edge of the steak on my tongue. God that good stuff. Or a little bit of chicken skin that I missed stripping off the chicken? O.M.G.
One of my ex girlfriends was a vegan... she was into what she called "live food". That is, eating vegetables that are as close to alive as possible. For instance, wheatgrass that was just cut, blended in a blender to make wheatgrass juice. That frothy stuff on top represents the wheatgrass' life force apparently. It always reminded me of that bit of froth on top of an espresso.
