12. Much to my wife's delight, I'm becoming vegetarian in my old age.

My wife and two of our three daughters became vegetarian about 20+ years ago. One daughter and myself remained meat eaters. I gave up cooking at that time because I hated making two different meals. But these days, when I cook (I started again some time ago) it's all veggie based. I rarely eat meat - so, please excuse the Big Mac joke.

I just don't enjoy meat anymore. The only explanation I can give is "It's too MEATY!!". It tastes like meat.

Will I become vegan?? I'd have to give up milk. I'd give up beer before I give up milk. But I haven't found a substitute that's palatable - suggestions welcome!!!
