What You Do Does Something

I did say earlier in another article that I was a vegetarian, but that doesn't mean that I am opposed to meat. I only know one person of all my family or friends who is also a vegetarian. My friends did pick on me a little when I first changed my eating habits. But there is a reason we are vegetarians. Some to protest and some for a principle -- I am doing a little of both. I know that a single person can't do everything, but it all starts with a single person.

Some people need meat to survive. But I can tell all of y'all, since I have started my new ways, I'm healthier. I do take vitamins, but I get more soy (that's mostly protein) than ever. I have even found some soy products that actually taste good. My favorites are the Smart Dogs and the Baco Burgers.

I don't see myself being selfish. I kinda see myself as helping out. With me being who I am, there will be a few more animals around to help the food chain and also more poor people will have more animals to eat, since I'm not buying them. It also may help poor families during Thanksgiving -- because I will not eat the turkey, I can help others during those times or even donate some meat to them. Besides, this is what I believe in.

So, don't tell me what is what, because I am too stubborn to listen. I believe in what I do and so do the other vegetarians. You may have different beliefs as well. But it is your own business and no one else's. Please don't tell a person they are not helping and doing nothing. Some of us just do what we do.

I am sorry if you can tell I am fired up at this person, but I'm not going to let someone tell me what I am doing is nothing. I'm not trying to ban meat. I'm just trying to save the living things that we can't live without. I don't hate meat eaters (carnivores), if I did I would hate just about everyone I love. Wiccangal
