Vegetarian for a week.

  In this new assignment for Theory of Food II,  we had to choose a new diet to follow for a week. The reason that I choose vegetarian, is because despite the fact that I regularly don't follow any restriction, and have normal diet, I really respect those how are vegetarians and the reason why most of them follow this diet, which is basically ethic. To be more specific, the chosen diet was the ovo-lacto vegetarian, and as we learned in class this one composed  eggs and dairy products excluding any type of meat. And that's is how the weekend went.

	Breakfast	Lunch	Dinner
Monday	Cereal, banana, Coffee	Eggplant sandwich	Pastas with tomato sauce
Tuesday	Scramble eggs with toast	Pasta with tomato sauce	Veggie burger In brioche buns, Boston lettuce, tomato and mayo
Wednesday	Cereal, Banana	Eggplant sandwich	Falafel Pita
Thursday	Toast with peanut butter and jam	Veggie Burger	Eggplant lasagna
Friday	Cereal and banana	Pasta tomato sauce	Rice and beans with saute veggies
Saturday	Cereal and banana	Rice and beans with eggplant alla parmesiana	Butternuts quash ravioli
Sunday	Muffin coffee	Veggie Burger	Veggie pizza

  

 As we can see wasn't hard to keep the diet during the week, the breakfast didn't change at all; cereal, fruits and scramble eggs are usually there everyday. For the lunch, change the regular tuna sandwich for an eggplant sandwich, wasn't a bad idea either, but I don't know if i would be able to keep up for too long. Pasta, eggplant lasagna and eggplant alla parmesiana are stuffs that i already enjoy, but i end up having way too many eggplant in the end of the week, which to keep with that diet I would have to change. The only thing that I didn't really enjoy was the veggie burger, it doesn't deserve be called "burger". 
 Working as a chef, is really hard to keep any very restrict diet, because taste everything we do is an essential part of the job, so keep a vegetarian diet as a chef would be complicated, unless you are a vegetarian chef.
 As mentioned before, I really respect the vegetarian diet for its ethic. First because the way the animals have been treated now a days is not fair, and very disrespectful, and also, because the population of the world is getting bigger  and food in shortage. But, to became a vegetarian I would have to have not just a vegetarian diet but also be a vegetarian chef and that wasn't exactly the plans.
