"I'm an animal lover and that love doesn't end when I get hungry. Do I miss meat? Not really. But here's what I do miss: Aromas. Experiences. Methods. Traditions.

"I remember all the tastes and sensations from my omnivore days, even though they were so long ago. My grandmother's meatballs, burnt on one side. Slurpy seafood pasta at a café along the bay, my teeth scraping against the hard oyster shells. My favorite pizza burger from a diner underneath a Midtown office building, the feel of the vinyl seat as I bounced with excitement at the sight of the melty mozz arriving at the table.

"These are the moments you could say I miss. Maybe you do, too. But we don't have to."
