I’m reading Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, again, and I came across a paragraph that got me thinking, again.
“Around what lessons will my son’s cravings be formed? Although my taste of meat has almost entirely gone away - I often find the sight of red meat repulsive - the smell of a summer barbecue still makes my mouth water. What will it do to my son? Will he be among the first of a generation that doesn’t crave meat because it never tasted it? Or will he crave it even more?”
I obviously will raise my kid as a vegetarian and the above thought has crossed my mind numerous times. Will he be rebellious and go against what I told him not to do? Like when our parents told us never to smoke, or will he listen to me? I asked my friend Joe, who has been a life-long vegetarian, if he ever craved meat and if his friends parents gave him hell when he went over. According to him he never craved it and the parents were always accommodating.
I’m crossing my fingers.

This was taken yesterday by my dad at this new international buffet not far from our house. My dad liked the background so he wanted to take a picture of my sister, mom, and I in front of it because he said it looked like we were some place in Europe lol.
PS—If you’re ever in the area and you’re a veghead like me, do yourself a favour and don’t go eat there. I ended up eating pizza and onion rings because everything on the menu was meat and fish.
Five of my top eight artists on Last.fm this week are Swedish lol. I’ve also downloaded the compilations Sound of Young Sweden Volume’s One through Four so I’ve been listening to those a lot over the last few days.
Sweden ftw.
