Giving up meat wasn't difficult, once I knew the behind-the-scenes story. As a Christian, you may find even more meaning in this book than I did: _Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully_. It's powerful stuff. So many in our culture have a completely out of balance, unhealthy relationship with food, myself included, and it's so difficult to change. I was also excited to see the Carbon Lent idea - what a great motivator! Thanks for sharing your Lent thoughts. I remember participating in Lent as a little girl - one year I gave up adding salt to my food, and it stuck for the rest of my life. ;-) Great choices!
