Do you like Meat loaf? Not the kind you might put ketchup on, but the band. My favorite Meat Loaf song since childhood has been Paradise by the Dashboard Lights . I remember calling the radio station on a corded phone from the kitchen to request it. I was so nervous I could hardly speak, thankfully the woman at the station understood what I was trying to spit out in my shaking, quiet 7 year old voice. But that’s an entirely different topic. Recently, I realized many people in my life don't know why I stopped eating meat. I mean, a few people do, I have told people the reasons when they’ve asked. If you even know I’ve stopped eating meat it’s probably because we’ve gone to dinner or you’ve invited me over and since I don’t like to go hungry I like to make sure before I go that there are options or I plan ahead and eat before I leave my house. Full disclosure: I do still eat fish and most of the time feel bad about it. My goal would be to eventually give up fish and dairy,
