Small disclaimer, the picture you see above is not at all what I eat on a daily basis. While I am a vegetarian I hardly eat vegetables, partially to my detriment. That being said, I’ve been a vegetarian for over 5 years and a pescatarian for about 2 years now and I honestly have very little intention of ever going back to eat meat. Now let me explain why!

The Ease

Believe it or not being vegetarian has actually saved me quite a bit of time when it comes to ordering at a restaurant. Which is often times the opposite of what most people assume. While it’s true that my options become limited by having a limited diet (obviously), what’s also true is that I don’t have to spend much time deciding what I want to eat! This doesn’t sound like a great benefit unless you really understand and appreciate the free time that you have. The last thing I want to be doing is pondering for 30 minutes as to what I’m going to eat. I would much rather spend more time talking to and enjoying the company of whoever it is that I’m eating my meal with! Generally, being vegetarian makes life a little easier simply by reducing my own options! Who would have thought that!

Cheaper

Yeah I know, you’re probably saying something a long the lines of “Man, this Sergio guy is so cheap all the time!” You would also be incredibly correct…
