I've heard the hardest part of going vegetarian is telling your dad you're gay.

Well, I should have said pescatarian, and I figured Thib would tell me first.

To prove vegetarianism was healthy, I was going to post pictures of jacked vegetarian guys, but, uh...

To be fair, I'm 100% certain there are some. However, I'm highly skeptical of them.

Cam Newton is vegan. Tony Gonzalez was vegan at the end of his career. Tom Brady isn't far from vegetarian. Tyrann Mathieu is vegan.
Tia Blanco (surfer) is vegan.

My eating has changed quite a bit too. ZERO fast food since the shutdown. Except pizza. We have ordered a couple of pizzas in the past few weeks. Biggest change has been:
High protein
Carbs and Fat happen when they happen.
Whole/natural food
We have severely cut back on breads/pasta/boxed foods. The shut down has cut me off from fast food entirely. It's also given us more time at home to research recipes to find ones that are good for us, and good to eat.
We still eat crap, because we are lazy and it tastes good. Stoufers Pizzas being our biggest weakness. But lots of eggs, with half the toast I used to. Very little mac and cheese, spaghetti, etc. Lots more beef/chicken based meals. I'm even eating fish which I have sworn off since becoming an adult and not being forced to eat it by my parents.
Most of our carbs come from natural sources (vegitables, beans, fruits, etc) as apposed to bread/pasta/candy. Oh, and pretzels. I still eat the fuck out of pretzels. We cut out pop, near 100% for a long time. I have recently started drinking it again because when consumed in moderation, it doesn't seem to affect my weight.
So, far from perfect, but my eating habits were so fucked before, that even eating boxed pizzas and drinking pop, I'm losing weight. The weight loss is very slow now, but honestly, I'm about where I want to be. I just have to get rid of my gut. I'm down to my last belt notch. I have also stopped working out. BUT, I've been doing major house stuff which is kicking my ass. So, not working out, but not sitting idle either.
Over all, I still eat a lot of food, but it's all better/natural/non-processed food, and it's made a big difference. WAYWAYWAY more sustainable than the Keto diet I did a while ago.

Man did I fucking love those french bread pizzas as a kid.
I'm driving to SC next week for a single overnight trip. I'm taking an SUV full of computer equipment and it'll be empty on the way back. Do you want me to fill it with Cheerwine?

Even as a kid I knew those were gross.
Man that shit is good.

I think it was the first thing I knew how to make on my own. Emotional connections to food improves the taste.
Yup.

It does, but have you had one in the past few decades? That's pizza for people who can't get real pizza.
It's like when you run out of hot dog buns and have to use bread.

Fill?. . (thinking about it). . . . YES! but really no. But, I would take 3 cases (24 packs). Last trip down, that's what I came home with. They were rationed so long I think they expired. They didn't seem as carbonated as they were when we first got them. And even when fresh off the shelf, Cheerwine looses its fizz QUICK.
I have an Ohio project starting in two weeks so would be passing through and able to pick them up!
Pretty much our predicament. But we also just like them.

I guess flexitarian is the right word, with a preference for vegetarian/fish. I've had 6 meals in the past 3 days. 4 were vegetarian. 1 was fish. Then, my favorite food truck in the world came by the neighborhood last night, so I had beef bulgogi quesadillas. Good God, if all food could just taste like that.
I tried to order a mix of beef + tofu quesadillas (1 of each), but they apparently forgot the tofu, and just gave me a plain cheese one for the latter.

Wife made black bean burgers tonight. Literally the best black bean burgers ever. Granted, that’s a low bar, bu they were really good

Wife made them from scratch. At first I thought she was crazy for spending so much time on them. But they were delish.

No, and I refuse to get them. I'll stick with the good memories.
It will be done.
If you order tofu around me, I will smack you. Friends don't let friends eat tofu.
