No meat. Aka Vegetarian.
“I’m honestly so surprised you aren’t vegetarian” has been a common phrase I’ve been hearing more and more. The reason I’ve heard it from many of my friends is because, quit honestly, I’m obsessed with animals. I love them. I love their beautiful mannerisms, how they can just sit and stare at one thing and we have absolutely no idea what’s going on in their mind and how their instincts still guide them no matter how much humans have coerced their lives. I love cows, cats, dogs, mice, penguins and almost every other gorgeous animal who graces Earth. So why do I eat them? Why do I choose to eat a cheeseburger, bacon or chicken burrito that is a crime scene? It baffles me how inhumanely millions of innocent beings are being slaughtered with no hope of a free life. How would I feel if a cow came and tortured me, made me stand in my own feces, never allowed me to see the sun, overfed me nasty food, injected chemicals in my body, hung me by my ankles (while still very alive) and slit my neck to drain my blood all against my will?!
So, with all that said, I am making the decision to try out Vegetarianism. I want to give it a go. Today is day 1 and I have consumed no meat.
I will continue to keep myself accountable and post here about my journey to vegetarianism. As my long term goal, I would like to strive to be Vegan. But for now, I’ll be starting small.
