Defeated Meat

Hello, my name is Liz, and I'm a vegetarian.

Sounds weird, does it not? Well, it does for me. I have wanted to stop eating meat for the longest time and now I feel I can finally accomplish this goal. I have had numerous health issues for a rather long time that have restricted me from doing so. Now, before you give me a long lecture on how meat is good for you and all that jazz, let me give tell you the reasons for my decision.

Not many people wonder what they are chowing down on at around 12pm on Tuesday afternoons or where it came from, but it is really alarming how revolting slaughterhouses actually are. The pollution and waste that comes out of one slaughterhouse releases more pollution than the city of Los Angeles. That is overwhelming to think about. In addition to this, the cruelty towards the animals in these slaughterhouses is appalling. Wake up, people. Unhappy animals equals poor quality of food which in turn will do more harm to your body than anything. I am not opposed to organic raised meat, where the animals are cared for and raised naturally. But natural is the complete opposite of a slaughterhouse.

In addition, not eating meat will reduce famine. Is it weird to think that animals raised to be slaughtered receive more food and grain than people? Yes, it is. It's ridiculous.


Overall, it is just a healthier choice. Extremely difficult, especially because of my love of chicken, but I do believe it will make a difference.
