Ideological purity.

I've been vegetarian-ing for three weeks, and I haven't had much trouble avoiding meat; it hasn't really been a big part of my diet since I came back from Japan. But I can't work myself up to care that there's fish in instant dashi? I eat soba all the time, and I've got like four boxes of this stuff, and throwing them out will do nothing to remedy global overfishing.

When I run out I'll buy some plain wakame and try cooking with that, but for now I intend to continue to eat noodles that have been rendered ritually unclean.

I'm also resolving to go ahead and eat a hot dog/fried chicken/etc if I'm on a long drive or something and that's all that's available. I'm a bad enough driver when my blood sugar's normal.

*shrug* I'm a vegetarian because a) I think meat and fish taste terrible, and b) after twelve years of not eating them they literally make me sick. Since b)'s not a concern for you, I wouldn't worry about it.
