As you may or may not be aware of, I am a vegetarian. Have been since March of ‘06. Not to long, but hey you have to start somewhere. So animal cruelty is something I’m strongly against.
One thing I’m tried of is people telling me PETA is crazy once they hear I chose not to eat animals. Just because I’m veg does not mean I religiously follow PETA. Yes, I do get recipes sent to my e-mail every once in awhile but no, I do not watch their videos all the time and their web site is not my home page. I do encourage everything that can be done to stop the harassment of poor animals but I’m tired of it being assumed that I live for PETA.
Anyways, I encourage everyone to read the book Skinny Bitch. One of my friends lent me this book to try and turn me vegan (unfortunately, I love cheese and giving it up is out of the question right now because being a student, I live off of cheese and have no time to grocery shop) and even though I have yet converted, it did reassure me in becoming vegetarian. I promise, if it does not stop your habit of eating flesh, it will at least make you hesitate before you do.
Love the animals, don’t eat them. (No negative comments please C=)
