I originally chose not to eat meat because it scared me to ingest dead animals. I was seven.
ReplyDeleteFrom there, it grew to an honest disliking of the texture of meat, ESPECIALLY ground beef. Gag me.
My brother went through a vegan phase in college, and while I didn't have the guts to give up ALL animal products (I love cheese and honey), I was grateful to learn about factory farms and the harsh reality of the food industry. It only solidified my conviction, and I went from calling myself a "picky eater who doesn't like meat," (still pretty true) to an official vegetarian.
I'll still eat fish, sometimes, because it's hard for me to get the protein I need otherwise, but it is a CHORE (because I can't stand looking at it, not because I feel bad for the fish. It's a fish, haha).
And I got hugged yesterday! I'm not sure if it was because I'm vegetarian, but a hug is a hug. :)
Yay vegetarians!
ReplyDeleteYou already know why I went veggie. Peter Singer!
