I was reading a text book for one of my classes and there was some information on the meat industry that I hadn't ever come across in a scholarly form. I read it and thought "oh sh**. I can't be ignorant anymore" so I stopped eating meat [it wasn't right away... I waited till boxing day so I could have my last 'christmas dinner']. The amount of water it takes to produce 10lbs of steak is insane (to me) and I have an irrational fear of America invading us to take our water... lol... =). For me its more of an environmental issue, and political i guess because a lot of farmers aren't able to practice subsistence living b/c of giant factory farms booting them off the land. Animal rights is at the bottom of my list. I think that is the most scrambled reply i've ever written... I might edit that later lol. |

Salut! I personally went veg three months ago today. I loved meat: bacon *drool*, burgers, wings, steak... everything (except sea food-- yuck). I had tried once before to go veg but it only lasted a couple weeks. This time my reasons were more grounded and I haven't found it hard at all. hooray. =) Veggie burgers help make the transition a little easier. Also, get used to reading and understanding labels like no other. You'll find that your cooking skills will improve because experimenting with new recipes to keep food exciting (Check out goveg.com, or theppk.com for ideas). Keep trying the different kinds of meat replacements to find which one suits you because some of them taste kind of weird lol. Make sure you find out how many grams of protein that you should be having in a day and make sure you get it in the foods you choose to avoid problems (as with any diet change you should ensure that it is providing the correct amount of nutrients you need).
Good Luck! |

See... The packaged food industry is regulated so that you are allowed to have X amount of bugs per 100grams of product I.E Oatmeal. I would imagine the similar guidelines are held for fresh fruit and veggies... |
