Hi everyone! Sorry I haven’t blogged in a while. I’ve been getting back into the swings of university and what not. However, I am BACK!!!
In the new year, 2nd January at 8:36pm I watched a show on Netflix called ‘Vegucated‘. I actually shed tears at this show, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. My heart sunk to the bottom of my stomach, I felt sick. I couldn’t believe what I was allowing all these 18 years of eating meat. It opened up my ignorant eyes and that night I turned Vegetarian. Yes the show focuses on Vegan, but currently with my income and that I am at university it would be difficult at this moment in time, so I am a Vegetarian.
What I noticed since becoming Vegetarian:
Meat is everywhere- Quorn is really expensive
- Quorn ham is disgusting 😛
- People look at you funny when you tell them you’re a vegetarian
- I’ve eaten a lot of cheese
- I feel lighter after my meals
- I am choosing the healthier meals at restaurants
- It’s so much easier than I thought it would be
Here are some more educational videos about how the meat and dairy industry hurt our animals:
- Forks over knives (2011)
- Earthlings (2007)
- Cowspiracy (2014)
- The Cove (2009)
- Crazy Sexy Cancer (2007)
- Live and Let Live (2013)
- A lifelong vegetarian will save 5 cows, 760 chickens, 1/2 tonne fish, 29 sheep/lamb, 20 pigs.
- Meat contains saturated fats, cholesterol, hormones and antibiotics and toxins.
- A vegetarian diet could feed more people: 80-95% of the grain grown in the US is fed livestock. Many more people could be fed on the soy beans and grain grown for animals.
- The livestock industry produces 18% more C02 emissions than transport
FAMOUS VEGETARIANS:
- Ellen DeGeneres
- Prince
- Ozzy Osbourne
- Gandhi
- Mike Tyson
- Albert Einstein
- Paul McCartney
- Leondardo da Vinci
- Brad Pitt
- Steve Jobs
