Vegetarian, to be or not to be?
Dreads and Diets
yea i say vegetarian too...its liek hey yeah im a pescetarian and they look at u and liek to pretned they know what it is when u can clearly tell by the look on there face that they have NO idea lol.. omg holliannepage i would LOVEEEE more than anything to have a garden like yours... i dont no the first thing about it tho lmao..im sure if i tryed i could do it though!
HolliannePage said: I usually just consider myself vegetarian, however, I do eat fish. People don't always know what a pescatarian is, and I don't always feel like explaining because "the catch" is that I stick with fish I have caught. (haha, lame pun I know)
There are so many reasons to consider becoming a vegetarian or vegan. Ethical and health issues are probably the most common really.
Health-wise, becoming a vegetarian is about as healthy as you can get IF YOU LEARN TO BALANCE YOUR DIET. Some people become vegetarian and eat too much bread, or too many fruits, or sweets or whatever. Everything needs to be in balance to have a healthy, stable life. (Not just food.)
Ethically speaking, I just can't stand eating something that has been raised in such horrible conditions that many animals are raised in today.
The transition was fairly easy for me, however, I didn't eat that much meat to start with.
The transition was made even easier when I began to realize how much better I felt. I used to feel lethargic, listless, my skin wasn't that great, I never slept well. By balancing out my diet, I get a plethora of different vitamins and nutrients that I wasn't getting. I am at a healthy weight, my complexion is world's better, and overall I feel better.
Most of all, I am comforted knowing that the food I eat is not at the disadvantage to any helpless animal.
My parntner is not vegetarian, so we try to catch a lot of fish. lol. Meal time can be tricky, however, it's gotten easier to cook his chicken or whatever while seperately preparing my food.
I think being a vegetarian has become more accepted, so I don't get much ridicule.However, occasionally someone will think they are being clever and retort to my lifestyle with, "Well, it's already dead! Might as well eat it."
Well, just because it's dead doesn't mean I support the ways in which it reached my plate.
I just think abut all those other people choosing this lifestlye and think about how one person at a time can really make a difference.
Plus, being a vegetarian is really eye opening and can be fun. You learn about a million different fruits, vegetables, and herbs that you never knew existed or that you could eat. Also, maintaining your own garden is amazing. Right now my boyfriend and I have corn, tomatoes, peppers, sunflowers, different kinds of lettuce, cherries, avocado, mint, basil, lemon grass...and many more things! Gardening is fun and very rewarding.
Anyways, it's great that you are considering this lifestlye and finding out so much information on it!
Best of wishes Jo!
