that sounds good. Scottobear, how long since you ate meat, if you don't mind my asking?

Re:

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Red meat was july 4, 1990. (hot dog)

Chicken... about 2 months later...

Fish. about 2 months after that (but I still do things without a face... and sneak a shellfish here and there)
