We are two college students at the University of Florida. Over the course of our lifetimes, our diets have consisted of a large array of food items, but most days, we consume meat at least once a day. For people that may be more food conscious, this may be seem like a shocking amount of meat. Quite honestly, we agree. Though had you asked us this a few months ago, we probably would have thought nothing of it.
You see, we are currently enrolled in a writing class here at UF called "Writing About Nature". As our final project, we have decided to put what we have learned in motion. We have been taught about how a diet consisting primarily of carnivorous meals can be detrimental to our planet. We also know that a vegetarian diet is not always the answer. We have decided to take on the challenge of cutting meat completely out of our diets for the next few weeks. This is a personal challenge that we are fully committed to. We will be trying the pescitarian diet, a version of a vegetarian diet. This diet excludes the consumption of all meat, but allows one to eat fish, eggs and dairy.
Follow us as we challenge ourselves throughout this journey. We are interested in seeing how adopting this diet will changes our lives, and we will both be examining a number of different aspects of the diet throughout our journey.
