Apparently there is this thing you need called protein??? Idk but I don’t get enough of it according to my “medical physicians” so I am keeping fish in my diet.

This pleases my carnivorous husband to no end because he likes to complain when we he goes more than two dinners without an animal on his plate.

Like, I’m not even allowed to take a stand for something. Maybe I don’t NEED protein. I’m a relatively small human. I have little to no muscle mass. Perhaps I’m fine without it. I’ve been trying to tell people for years that my particular body runs best on an all-carb diet. Bagels? Now THAT is fuel.

I’m lying – I’m still eating fish because they are the tastiest of the animals & imagining a world without fish tacos was really bleak.

    A world without fish tacos sounds terrifying. I was a pescatarian for a bit and it actually doable! Also, with delicious-looking dishes like this I think you’ll be just fine. 🙂
