Being a Vegetarian
Some thoughts about what it is like being a vegetarian.
There are many advantages to being a vegetarian.
It is much healthier – less fat in the diet for a start and you eat a lot more vegetables, mainly in an effort to make meals more interesting.
Less cleaning up to do after cooking – no meat fat splattered around, no meat scraps or bits of bone that you wonder how to dispose of where they are not going to smell or cause a health hazard.
No having to put up with yesterday’s nasty meat smells from cooking hanging around.
Not ingesting all the hormones and chemicals that are in meat.
Not so much having to worry about eating stuff before it goes off.
It is much much cheaper. I’m always amazed when I see how much meat costs.
I will probably think of many more advantages after I finish writing, but the most wonderful thing for me is to be able to look these lovely creatures in the eye with a clear conscience. 
I do love cows.

I, too, love cows.
Especially little ones.

Yes, vegetarianism has several advantages but I just can let go of my meaty diet.

Good for you! I’m not a vegetarian, but I do agree with you about the “less cleaning up to do”. Our soup is ALWAYS meatless, so I never have to use detergents on the pot and bowls, it makes life so much easier =)

I don’t think consuming meat in small quantities is a crime. Yes, i do like these nice “Maggies” as i use to call the cows
but i am against every trend that time by time apears and lead us to the edges. The truth is most times in the middle.

I wasn’t suggesting that eating meat was a crime, and I’m certainly not out to convert anyone. I was just pointing out some advantages.

Hey, guess what? I haven’t eaten meat for 31 years but not because I think its wrong, I just find it very disgusting eating blood vessels and bits of liver or kidney and blood. yuk
