Vegetarian?
After watching the video about animals being killed for meat and how unsanitary it may be, I would like to think about going vegetarian but I know very well that I could never. Seeing how these animals are treated and kills burns inside but I don't ever think giving up meat is an option. I also do not see how 1 person can make such a difference. 1 person will not shut down McDonald's factories, people will still eat meat everywhere else in the world. If someone were to hand me statistics on how much one less meat eater can make a difference then maybe I would see why people do it but until then, I don't understand why 1 person thinks they can make a difference with a system this big. It's great to have more people giving us new options with all the organic foods but meat is more filling and you need the protein that some organic things can not satisfy. Most people need meat, for a sport or even just for health. Other people may have their own opinion on how not eating meat saves animals but how I see it is if you don't eat it, someone else will so the animal will still be killed. That is why I could never become a vegetarian.

Heidi, I feel the same way, as I watching the video too. It did cross my mind on becoming vegetarian or even more of a vegan because of all the harmful things that are being done to the animals. I also spoke to a class mate after we had watched the video about becoming a vegetarian but then as we began speaking about it, we had just laughed because we had though well what is going to be the difference if only us two out the classroom become a vegetarian, and your right its not big. I do think that the one that had begun the vegetarianism movement has made a big impact on some where in the world but not all over because we are born as humans to hunt and eat meat. However, I do think that when becoming vegetarianism also has to do with the environment that you live in and if someone who is a big animal lover.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about how only one person switching over to a vegetarian lifestyle will not make a difference. But I think I may try and go at least Pescetarian. I want to try this just to see I could handle it. Even though I can't change anything myself, maybe I can influence someone to go this route and become healthier and they could influence someone else and so on and so forth. That way I didn't change the lifestyle of everyone, but I helped someone else.
