So Why am I a Vegetarianism :)

So why am I a vegetarianism :)

I read an article on bbc.co.uk recently which was about a vegetarian and all the myths about being a vegetarian she has experienced. I thought it was brilliant and thought I would revisit the topic with some of the things talked about in the article. I thought I would share some of my thoughts on the subject…

I am not a vegetarian because of any political reason or because i don’t want cows killed :) It is a personal choice and something that suits my life. I prefer my food without meat.

I don’t eat anything with a face - Paul McCartney
I don’t eat anything with a shadow - Homer

Things I Don’t Mind

- Eating across from somebody eating meat (not even a slight issue)
- People asking me why I am a vegetarian
- People asking me am I pale because I am a vegetarian (I’m white and Irish *-))
- People asking me questions about being a vegetarian. Fire away
- Cooking meat or fish. (I worked in a restaurant for 2 summers in New York)
- I love tofu :)

Things I am not Trying todo

- Convert the world to vegetariansim
- Campain for animal rights

Things I Do Mind

- Only have one vegetarian option on the menu in a restaurant
- Looking at a menu before going for into a restaurant and reading at the bottom of the menu “ask server for vegetarian dish of the day” Come on resteraunters… if 10% of the people are vegetarians does this really make sense????? (Mainly europe I am talking about here)
- A lot of vegetarian options in restaurants revolve around a pile of goats cheese, cream, regular cheese. It is possible to give something flavour without dairy products
- Putting people out when I come to their house for something to eat. I hate that.

So Why Am I a Vegarian?

- I prefer my food without meat
- I worry about bse, drugs that are in meat and other such issues

I am a vegetarian for 10 years plus, and recently I went to my grandmothers house for tea. I was given a piece of fish for dinner :) I am a vegetarian, I don’t eat any meat. I didn’t really mind anyway :) Needless to say I didn’t eat it…

If we aren’t supposed to eat animals, then why are they made out of meat? - Peter Kay
