As of yesterday, May 26, I have been a vegetarian for one month. My conviction to this new lifesytle has not wavered. If anything, it's only gotten stronger. The more I read about the reasons not to eat meat, the more peaceful I am with my decision. At first it was based on 2 factors. Nutrition and ethics. I totally forgot about the environmental!! The amount of water and air pollution generated by the meat industry is astronomical! And the wasted resources! So much feed is given to animals raised for meat. If that land was used for crops for humans, world hunger would be a non-issue. As it is,the VAST majority of wheat, corn, soy etc is feed to livestock. Livestock destined for the plates of the world's elite.
I could go on and on but you either get it or you don't.
I'm pretty much just wasting time right now anyway.
Congratulations! I just turned veggo about 8 months back. The main thing is to ensure that you have a wide variety of food - I ate shit for a month or so, and was feeling pretty bad about my new diet, till I looked some recipes and such, and now I'm eating better than ever before!
ReplyDeleteBefore I rant any further, yeah. Keep it up! :P
