50% vegetarian

A few people/movements suggest eating vegetarian at least one day a week, e.g.: "Vegetarian Wednesday, or David Suzuki's "Nature Challenge".

I find this quite sympthomatic of a North American meat-centric culture.

I'm Italian, and Italian cuisine has plenty of meat-free dishes -- we don't call them vegetarian options, we call them: garlic and oil pasta, eggplant Parmigiana, Margherita pizza, fresh tomatoes pasta.

So, for me it's not hard to take it one step further: I don't eat any meat for breakfast or supper, but I do eat some meat for lunch.

Whether this makes me 50% vegetarian or not, I'm quite proud of it.
