I'm almost a vegetarian

All major news outlets reported earlier this week that a cow in Alabama has been diagnosed with the mad cow disease.

"Officials" have been busy saying how the diseased cow won't have any affect on humans or animals. But this is a good reason for me to give up eating beef for a little while.

I've been meaning to really get more in control of my diet lately and this is a good reminder. In fact, in the lobby of the building where I work they had a Natural and Health Food Fair where they had all sorts of natural foods that they were giving away. Beef and other red meat isn't that healthy anyway.

All signs point to me giving this no-beef thing a try. I like seafood but I don't eat it that often anyway. I love chicken and so that'll be hard to give up... baby steps though. So, no steak and no beef for a little while for me.
