I never thought I’d say this, but I’ve officially made it through three days of vegetarianism. If you know me well, you know that this is unbelievable. Heresy, I dare say.
I had toyed with the idea for a while but never took any action. Megan and I consumed some vegetarian propaganda and she was hooked, so I decided to jump in for the ride. I’m not really sure why I’m doing this. For me, it’s not about the animals. I know that their executions are not civil or painless, but that’s not reason enough for me to go vegetarianism. I don’t have to see it. I can look away. I mean, really, how did you think the animals that make your meat products were killed?
It does scare me not knowing what’s in our meat. The way we manipulate animals with steroids and such, is it safe? Of course, it’s hard to know what’s in any of our food, even in a vegetarian diet.
Megan and I also decided to cut out soft drinks. It’s no secret that that stuff’s just liquid trash. No nutritional value whatsoever. I’m still drinking tea though, so I’m not sure how smart that is. But it’ll come in time. Baby steps for now!
