I have been wanting to become a vegetarian for the past two years but I never found that inner strength. I’ve been giving this a lot of thought, and for personal reasons, I’d really like to start cutting down on eating meat and now I am a white meat eater hopefully cut it out completely. I watched a disturbing video of PETA and has really made me think about what I eat. I love animals and I am horrified by what I saw.
Each person has their own reason to become a vegetarian. Some reasons people decide to become a vegetarian;
A. Some people are animal lovers, who are against animal cruelty that are slaughtered in meat production and slaughtering houses.
B. Some people are environmentalists, who understand that raising animals for meat requires land for grazing and that the meat production work in different slaughter houses leads to animal waste accumulation and waste run off, apart from emission of lethal gases like methane and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
C .Some people want to become a vegetarian to follow a religion or a philosophy that they have adopted.
D.One of the main reasons why most people are becoming vegetarian these days is because of the various health benefits that come with becoming a vegetarian. People feel more energetic and vigorous following a vegetarian diet.
And mine is A. Can I do it?
