I'd been thinking about it for a while now, and off and on craving it. I know I'm iron deficient, and that's been one of my biggest struggles in my diet. It's hard to find iron that your body can absorb in the food I usually eat, and the food that does have it I don't eat on a regular enough basis, i.e. leafy greens, lentils, etc. And I really don't want to take another supplement if I'm not sure it will even help - I already taken 5-HTP and some oil.

So I had meat for the first time in seven years and beef specifically for the first time in ten. It was really not much like I remembered it - the TVP stuff is remarkably similar. I'm pretty much already writing it off as a lapse, unless it does an amazing job at making me feel less shitty, because it was actually kind of... ick. I'd rather not cure my iron deficiency that way. But it is also helping me re-examine just why I'm still a veg', which is another step in my N Steps to Self Betterment and World Domination. I might do a more thorough post on that in a few days.

But for now, I leave you with beef.
