Help! I’m a Vegetarian Craving Meat! (VZ 124)

In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast, we discuss what you can do if you are vegetarian craving meat. Yes, it does happen and it’s nothing to be ashamed about. Many of us were raised on meat and it’s natural to crave it both in the physical sense and in the social/psychological sense. We discuss some ways you can help satisfy those cravings without succumbing to them.

Quotes of the Week

Vegetarianism shouldn’t be sold by putting up some perfect façade for the world – where everyone is perfectly healthy and happy in the community and no one second-guesses themselves or struggles with the social aspects of vegetarianism. That attitude just makes vegetarianism seem unapproachable. Ultimately, I think that doing something is better than nothing!
