Vegetarian men who have never eaten lean meat for the first time to beef steak

A man who has never eaten lean meat for 22 years, is a struggle for the first time when he ate beef steak. He can eat white fish and chicken with no resistance at all, but he seems to be unable to eat at all on the red meat of an animal bigger than me like beef.

It seems that he tried to challenge the steak, accompanied by acquaintance so that he could eat red meat, went to the steakhouse. "When you really eat food you dislike, you think about various things," I think again.

Details are from the following.Vegetarians Eating Meat - Eating Meat After Being a Vegetarian - Esquire

Male's name is A. J. Jacobs. He seems to be unable to eat because he is resistant to eating meat of bigger animal than himself, and is said to "eat cow meat" as "unnecessary acts of shameing cows". Though such, he seems to have decided to eat the steak, thinking that by eating the steak a new light can be found in his life.

The shop he chose to overcome the steak is a shop called "Peter Luger's", a steaky favorite Mecca. "As soon as I entered the store, I felt resistance to the smell of blood from the flesh."

A.J. Jacobs who cut the steak in a dice shape but could not carry it to his mouth and then rolls the meat with a fork for 1 minute.

After that, try hard not to think desperately that the meat in front of you is a cow, do not think about how the cattle that you can eat think (whether you are pleased or suffering) Desperately struggle to the desperate struggle, but I have not gotten over it yet.

Finally decided a decision and ate meat, it seems that it was delicious unexpectedly. However, refusing to invite friends' demons, saying "Do not eat fat too". It seems that it came time to go home.

A.J. Jacobs. It is quite desperate.


I heard that your tummy has gone bad after coming home. My stomach hurts and belching has come out. He says, "It seems that a cluster bomb was dropped in the stomach," and it seems that the condition has deteriorated considerably.

He decided to return to the original vegetarian. After all, it seems I could not overcome it.
