Vegetarian..

Over the past month, I've made a life altering desicison involving my eating habits. I've made the desicison to become a vegetarian and to tell you the truth, I've never felt healthier. My room mate and best friend Ally is a vegetarian and it influenced me to become one as well. Also, my great Aunt Virginia is 96 and has been a vegetarian for 60 years and is in perfectly good heath. Although those people did influence my choice, they are not the only thing that convinced me. The main reason is that I'm a sucker for animals, of any kind. I love them all. After hearing all of the cruel things that go on in factory farms and of the inhumane treatment in the raising of the animals, I looked at meat much differently. I looked into some of the facts behind meat eating and realized that I can get my daily protein from many other sources besides animals. I've been a pesco vegetarian for about a month now. I get most of my protein from seafood, beans, Greek yogurt and many other foods. Also, veggie burgers are DELICIOUS and I like them much better than regular burgers now. I would never be one of those people that tried to persuade other people into becoming vegetarians because I used to think it was insane that people didn't eat meat! But I must say it's definitely been a great choice I've made in my life but it's one you have to make for yourself. Well anyways, I can't believe this is our last blog post! I'm going to miss you all so much. But see you guys on Monday (with cupcakes) 

Love,
