Veg. V.S. Non-veg



This has to be a quick entry because I don't want to spend tomorrow yawning my way through biology, Spanish, and history again (like today) but I just wanted to talk about something that happened at school today. Last year I started a vegetarian club, remember? I think I told all you guys about it. Well today it officially started again. I think we are going to have a definitive number of people this year, which is awesome, cause it's more then last year. Our first "pre-" meeting went well we just talked about goals and plans for this and poster distribution kinda boring stuff although there was an interesting period were I mentioned we should bring a goat to lunch one day and explain to advocate vegetarianism so that bought up some interesting conversations as you can well imagine.
This whole concept of being vegetarian though, I want to talk about it for a few minutes. I became vegetarian about four years ago for a number of reasons 1. it was the "cool" thing in 6th grade. 2. I had a bunch of pet chickens.... and you get the point there {they all had names to, Fluffy, Coconut, Spice, Nutmeg, Pepper, Parrot, Cheerio, Dew Drop, Kali and Roostery Guy and and my favourite Pipsqueak} 3. I went to India and everyone there was vegetarian and I saw more dead goats then I ever want to see again, most of them ripped open and bloody and 4. I started doing meditation and for a true meditators/yogini's body you're not supposed to eat meat so I stopped.
There are so many good reasons to be vegetarian though, number one it saves lives, number 2, it helps the earth and number 3 it's good for you (if someone dares to comment on this entry "so where do you get your protein" it's gonna be ouch. I am one of the healthier people I know.
So to make a long story short cause I'm tired and don't even know what I am writing at this point go vegetarians and consider the practice if your not.
