Chew on this

What are you having for dinner tonight?

Ok... so I used to be vegan... but because I lived with my parents and was young, and my parents didn't want to buy vegan food for me I became very anemic and had calcium, and vitamin B12 deficiencies. I have been thinking lately... now that I can go buy my own food, why don't I do the vegan thing again? I mean, it's so much healthier, it can reverse heart disease, lessen your chances of getting cancer by 40%, not to mention it's totally yummy! So I've been thinking about this lately... and seeing as I am a member of PETA (people for the ethical treatment of animals) I decided to go on the website and read a few things to decide if this is want I really want. Well. I forgot that when I go buy, ground beef, chicken breasts or bacon, I am actually buying dead animal. Now I don't know about you, but when I see a cow, or pig, or chicken, I don't think mmmm that would be so good right now.... I think awwww that is so cute. I have decided to post this video because it is the least graphic, and if you want to be a meat eater, this video will not haunt you everytime you eat meat. If you do want to be vegan, as a result of the video or not, or even if you just want to explore veganism go to http://peta.com
You should watch the butter turkey under cover investigation... I know what I'm not having fot thanksgiving dinner.

Anyhow, bottom line, I wish I had never gave up my beliefs. In the 4 years that I have been eating meat again, I have eaten aproximately 404 animals. By not eating animals I will be saving about 100 animals a year from senseless horrific deaths. Today I gave all my meat product to a friend, and as soon as my son wakes up I will go shopping to buy some tasty vegan things. Chick'n Burgers maybe? Veggie pepperoni? Veggie Ground Round (veggie ground beef). Oh another perk of being vegan... I will finally drop the baby weight. Being vegetarian is one of the only type of "diet" that is proven to work...long term. Most 97% of people will gain the weight back after dieting, except for vegetarians. Did you know the man who invented Atkins died at over 200 pounds?? Anyhow. Enough preaching. I am going to go enjoy my new, healthy animal friendly diet!
