I don't know what I am, really.
I eat meat. But not a whole lot. Some fish, but mostly chicken. What a hypocrite I am! I LOVE CHICKENS! Not as food (well, yes I do), but as "people"! They're such fun to have around. And I'm also a hypocrite because I'd never kill one, unless, I suppose, I were absolutely starving, and then I'd cry. Sometimes I think eating chickens is/would be like eating my cats. Egad. I'm hopeless. Was raised with goats (and chickens), and we did eat them, and I recall the meat was very good, but don't have access to chevon that I know of, and haven't searched. I considered them pets. DH, however, eats all meat, with no apologies.
But we do eat a lot of veggies. We especially like broccoli and carrots and green beans and cauliflower, and GREENS! I chop up spinach and kale and chard and put them in everything. Mustard and collards, too. I eat very few grains, a bit of rice now and again, but use ground oats often. Not drawn to fruit. I do love pomegranates (had a tree as a child) but won't eat the supermarket kind -- too many fond memories of the home-grown ones. Some berries now and again.
Not fond of salad much, either. I like my veggies steamed or stir-fried, and like to finely chop them up and add them to various things as well, like the greens. Including breakfast.
I have sensitivities to gluten, eggs (whites), dairy, soy, and corn, so seldom eat any of them, which isn't a great loss, though I do LOVE real ice cream.
Yeah, I'm weird.
