Day 52

I have to admit that I had a teeny piece of beef jerky last week, the first time I ate meat since my commitment to go vegetarian on June 15th. My decision was entirely about stopping cruelty to animals, and it has been a breeze. Then today while walking the dogs who get this beef jerky treat, I ate another small piece. I had the thought to check the ingredients and guess what -- brown sugar is number two! I am astounded at my nose's ability to sniff out sugar even through a sealed beef jerky bag.
