Today I become a vegetarian…for 30 days. It is a trial of what I hope to become later on in my life. There are many reasons that I could give you that would be eloquent and inspiring but I will avoid those avenues. I will simply tell you that I want to be a vegetarian because believe that torture is wrong. I believe it should not be exercised on humans and it should not be exercised on animals. I would chose to eat the meat from an animal that was raised in an ethically sound way but I see that many processing plants are finding creative ways to deceive the buyer into believing that their animals lived a good life. So as a result I will not eat any meat… for 30 days. I have chosen to dedicate myself for 30 days first to this venture so that I will have a clear and definite finish point. Once I have reached that point and I have not become deathly ill, from lack of nutrition or what have you, I will most likely become a vegetarian for the better part of my life. Throughout these 30 days I hope to let you in on situations that this lifestyle has posed, or just insight that I have gained. This will certainly be an interesting experiment.
