(37,648 posts)I bet you get flack for not eating beef. It's the "manly" thing to do. I get some flack, as it is, even though I'm female and a liberal.
I have not been able to give up poultry. It's hard to replace that lean, low cholesterol protein source, I love it, and I don't feel as bad about eating chickens as I do cattle, sheep, and such. But I have not given up on my goal of giving it up.
I do eat fish, although it's pretty expensive...so it's rare that I buy non-canned fish. I eat canned salmon sometimes, but I am suspicious of anything in cans.
I do walk every day, although not far, now, because of my new non-walkable neighborhood.
I'm not a health nut, though, IMO. I just try to live a healthy lifestyle, which (as you probably know) is foreign to some people. But I still splurge on fried chicken and candy now and then, skip my walk, etc. The rebel in me.
