I have been thinking lately about how I don't even like meat. I talked to Dad, who said he hasn't eaten meat in several weeks, and has been going to a class (CHIPS) that has been teaching the health benefits of vegetarianism. I've never really enjoyed meat. (I am a chips and salsa....and cheese person. I have found several types of cheese that are made out of vegetables, by the way.)
At Thanksgiving I get more excited about the mashed potatoes and the pie than the turkey.
Anyway, after talking to my dad and looking into it a little further, I found my ultimate motivation. A video. (I'd rather not share the link.) After watching the conditions and treatment of the animals I eat (not regularly, but often enough), I am committed to vegetarianism.
Here is my point: I have pledged to be a vegetarian for at least 30 days on GoVeg.com. If you would like to join me the link is below. If you don't want to join me, that's perfectly fine. I just had a wake-up call...and wanted to share my sudden realization with anyone else interested.
I love you if you eat meat or not.
Here's a few quick facts: 1) Heart disease begins when we are children...being a vegetarian reverses the process. 2) Most of the mercury consumed by humans is consumed through tuna flesh (bad for your brain and causes depression). 3) You will feel better and notice your health and weight changing if you change from eating meats, eggs, and milk (by products) to vegetables and fruit (duh). 4) In every bag of chicken there is poop. (YEAH!) 5) PETA
My mom says that you can look up a lot of these same facts on http://www.sdachip.org/
CHIPS will also help those of you who feel that vegetarianism is too difficult. It will help you find a happy and healthy medium.
You're all so AWESOME! Thanks for reading this! I love you!
Love,
