On being pescetarian

I love fish and veggies and fruits and so it seems obvious that I should be a pescetarian.  I know, it sounds weird, but it just means that I choose to eat things that grow from the Earth along with fish/seafood.  No red meat, foul, or "the other white meat".  Tonight is the first moment since my week-old decision was made, that I am authentically excited to identify with my new self-slapped-on label because it's forced me to think more creatively about food choices.
I made Perch with a peach/habanero glaze and veggies (lots of them) in a tomato base.  It's become a standard formula:  fish and veggies all dressed up in various spices.  Tonight's medley was really quite tasty.  I'd put it up against any steak and potato dish.  Choosing a meal low in energy concentration and high in nutritional quality is a step toward strength, balance, and physical freedom.  One meal at a time.
