So I've officially started becoming a vegetarian. Not for the first time in my life I've done this. I am really committed this time. For several reasons.
1. Meat is expensive
2. Most meats only taste good to me prepared really well. My dad is an amazing cook and I will miss the way he prepares things.
3. I'm moving. So point one and two make even more sense. I'll save money because I could eat raw fruit and veggies all day long and I won't be around my parents house to enjoy the well prepared meats my father cooks.
4. So many people I know have only gained health benefits by eating a well balanced vegetarian diet. My sister has been doing it most of her life and for the last couple of years more seriously. She looks great!
5. I feel bad for the animals that get killed for my pleasure, and I'm not enjoying it. If point two is true and I am a humanitarian person at all then point five. It's just a little circle of life karma.
There you have it. Just my little attempt to make my body and my little bit of world a better place.
If any of my vegetarian friends out there have any favourite tips or recipes let me know!
As I get into it I think I might bring myself to go completely vegan. Heck I'm lactose intolerant anyway, so cutting cheese and milk sucks but isn't that big of a deal to me anyway.
Till next time...when I attempt freeganism!
ciao
