vegetarisnism

So some of you may know about my two week challenge, if not here it is in a nutshell, I have decided not to eat meat for two weeks, starting four days ago. If you would like more details check out my earlier post My Two Week Challenge.  Read More »

Do you know where that steak you just ate came from? If so, job well done, you are few and far between. If everyone were as conscious as you there would be less risk of E-Coli outbreaks and mad cow burgers. We would all be safer, healthier and happier if we realized not only where our meat comes from, but the effect it has on our resources, as well.  Read More »

Well to start off I am a vegan. Its been pretty good so far...I feel really good about it, but its kinda hard to find vegan friendly places. By I mean about that is that to me being vegan means :eating nothing that comes from animals! and when I say nothing I mean NOTHING!  Read More »

I could never be a vegetarian, mostly because I like maybe one vegetable. And I love  meat, namely chicken. I don’t eat beef simply because I don’t like the taste or the look of it. It’s the persnickety eater in me.  Read More »

I am one of a small percentage of people who can say that the meat served at their dining room table actually comes from wild game.  My dad hunts each year in the fall and we usually have either moose or caribou meat to carry us through the winter.  If you are new to the concept, you should know that the meat from moose/bou is much leaner than the ground beef that  Read More »

I've seen a few vegans/vegitarians (hereafter known simply as vegans, though still referring to both or whomever fits the description at the time) on here and elsewhere who have chosen to be so because they consider it cruel to eat meat. (Note: this doesn't apply to those who simply cannot consume meat, eggs, or milk.)

One thing I've noticed is that what is considered cruel varies from person to person. The ones that don't eat meat because most meat sources are slaughterhouses where animals are fed the leftovers from the other animals, I don't blame you and I respect that choice, though there are other sources. Not all meat comes from slaughterhouses, you just have to know where to look (and you don't always have to pay more, depending on where you live).  Read More »

I am a vegetarian.

I first looked into vegetarianism after a lecter from an 8th grade teacher that I very much respected. She didn't say we should all not eat meat, but eat less of it. I agreed with her in that meat isn't necessary for our survival, but why should we eat it at all?

As humans we take and take from the earth, with hardly giving anything back. Taking animals for our enjoyment is part of this endless, greedy spiral of self-fullfillment. We don't need beef cattle farms, or even dairy farms for that matter. What we need are some nice fruits and veggies. Then throw in some nuts for protein. It's more energy efficient to go straight to the nutrient source.  Read More »
