Who Me?

Vegetarianism isn't something I've arrived at lightly. The decision has resulted from a lot of thought, emotion, and research. Am I full blown 100% vegetarian now? No way. I'm easing into the transition because I tend to stick to my goals when I do it that way. I'm still researching the best ways to get all of the nutrition my body needs and how to get it without meat, recipes that I'll love, and reasons why I chose to do this in the first place. Hint: I have a very soft spot in my heart for animals and knowing the way they are mistreated and mass produced only to to add a buck to an already overflowing wallet and a pound to an already expanded waist line (waist line came from me thinking about all the meat McDonalds sells) enrages me (yes I pulled out enrages). We are all animals when it comes right down to it. I believe that all animals have a spirit whether or not they are as mentally and emotionally developed as other species. Who decided that we rank so much higher than any other animal? Because we have more knowledge and technology? That gives us more responsibility to do things humanely, but we don't. If we all killed our animals humanely and kept them in acceptable conditions like my Dad does it wouldn't be as much of a problem but no one is willing to spend a buck or two doing so. Its going to be hard but I want to do what's right and I've found that animal rights and animal welfare in general is something I'm very passionate about. Now, blog world, I'm accountable to someone/thing if I ever falter. You should watch some of the movies out there i.e. Glass Walls with Paul McCartney and Meet Your Meat they'd at least make you more educated and aware which is never a bad thing.

Love,
