I've been a vegetarian for about 3 years.
I eat some kinds of shellfish, and will very occasionally eat fish, but other than that I haven't had any meat in this time.
I'm going on a trip to Brazil in the Spring with school, and I want to eat meat while I'm there.
I've heard stories of long time vegetarians/vegans eating meat and getting sick from it. I don't know if it's a physical thing or a mental thing, but I really don't want to be sick on my trip.
I'm thinking I should do a trial run and have a meal with meat while I'm here to see how I do. I was thinking of just going to McDonalds and getting a Big Mac, I figured if that doesn't make me sick then nothing will lol.
But then my boyfriend suggested we go out and eat something better (specifically, Texas De Brazil).
Someone else told me I should start with chicken, but I don't see how that would be any different?
And then if I do get sick, how do I avoid getting sick on my trip?
I don't want to go back to eating meat until my trip, but maybe doing it for a week before I leave would get me used it again?
Does anyone have any experience with this or have any advice?
I'm the only vegetarian I know, so I don't really have anyone to ask about it!
