When Adam and I sat down, I arranged myself at the our table like always. I have to eat the main part of my meal first. This time, I had to get my burger first. While Adam kept talking, I started to chew.
Something was off.
I was not eating a veggie burger, my friends. In fact I was eating a real life cow.
THE HORROR!!!!
Not missing a beat, I took another bite. Not once telling Adam what was going on. This was going to be my little secret. I had purchased the fucking thing, I was going eat it dammit.
I'm such a bad, naughty girl.
You don't understand. It's been 5 years since I've had meat. It's been even longer since I've had red meat. I was... thrilled. I was disgusted and repulsed at myself. I had a secret. I adore secrets.
The sad thing about all of this, is that it tasted awful. I ate all of it of course, cause you don't waste food. But eating it... it tasted burnt. It tasted like dead flesh. Why did I ever want to eat this stuff again? I had been thinking about trying a chicken something for a while now, but after that burger, I don't think I will...
I know people that try to be vegetarians. They do really well for a while and then one day they cave and eat meat. They think "OH NO! I've messed up!" and give the whole thing up. They stop trying because they messed up that one time. Messing up doesn't mean that you have to throw the whole thing out of the window, it just means that you messed up that day.
Sadly, I'm sure that this burger will upset my stomach. I can already feel my tummy getting all... rumblely.
No more meat for me, thanks.

Well, I think a veggie diet is probably healthier, but I didn't last as long as I would have liked because I ran out of money for tasty veggie treats. lol. But I'd like to give it another shot soon.
I love the taste of most meat though. I'd say your disgust was due to poor preparation of the burger...and pure psychological disgust at what you were doing.
If you were ME, you would have asked for bacon. LOL.
