To be or not to be?

Most of us by now are aware about the negative issues towards meat. Campaigns, articles, adverts, you name it are all talking about the issues of eating meat and the cruelty behind it. It's almost turned into a FAD. Well at least we are trying to make a difference. To me its not just about the suffering of animals. Many things are linked - from health to greediness. I have to say I have been brought up a vegetarian all my life, but have tried the odd burger, of course most vegetarians have! It all comes down to experience. I don't eat it because I've been so used to not eating meat at a daily basis. So really its an advantage because I'm not "addicted" or think I have to eat it as there are many substitutes for protein as well as healthier.

My reason for this post is really to give people awareness about becoming a vegetarian. People who are thinking of trying to make a difference to themselves and to the animals. Of course it's completely your choice. You might think the whole idea is ridiculous, but many people are trying new things everyday. You might want your children to turn vegetarian or even vegan! Try it and see if its a better lifestyle. You never know anything unless you experience it. Just like me with the burger :)

If you have read this post and you are thinking of becoming veggie, please leave a comment. I would love to hear from you.
Thank you.

I went vegetarian about a year ago although I've "cheated" the odd time and had meat since then. I honestly love how great I feel not eating meat (aside from my ethical concerns with consuming animals) -- I just feel healthier and have more energy and just generally feel better! I'm actually planning to go vegan over the next few months because I just love it so much.

I am thinking almost constantly about becoming a vegetarian but because of the culture I was brought up and the cooking we are used to it's almost like I have to learn cooking all over again to become one.

But I am slowly making a progress, learning a dish a week and eating vegetarian atleast once a day.

Would love to learn more about it. Loved reading this post.

Love from Toronto, Canada.

I was already vegetarian radical today, not quite. from time to time as some kind of meat. I know it is a negative karma, so try to avoid.
