I'm not a Vegan

Denver and I have fully re-assessed our diets over the past few months. I won't get into details, but we are walking a tightrope between being lazy vegetarians and full-blown vegans. Crazy talk, I know.

This past weekend we drove back to East Lansing to watch the Spartans crush the Wolverines. Actually, it was by the skin of their teeth, but they won- who cares how they did it.
On the interstate we passed a truck carrying pigs. I've seen these trucks hundreds of times and not thought twice, but this time the truck was carrying baby pigs (piglets?) and they were so tiny and so cute.

So right then and there, I'm thinking, 'no more pork.' And Denver's thought, in response to the permanent sad sulk on my face?

"Babe, we're on the top of the food chain, try to enjoy it."

Ironically, that night we had pork chops for dinner at the Hagan's. They were pretty tasty.
