Eating Animals 1

At the beginning of this year I decided that I would read Eating Animals for my independent reading book in Issues. At that time, I had been a vegetarian for several years and a strong supporter of that lifestyle. However, recently, under my doctor's recommendation I began to eat meat again; only organic, white meat... This transition has been awkward for me. Aside from getting used to meat again, I kind of felt like I was having an identity crisis. I have identified with this lifestyle for so long that transitioning this was very difficult for me. I am just beginning to read Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer and I am excited to see how his transitions from being a vegetarian to an omnivore and vice versa have been and to see the parallels in my own life.
