I actually tried to become a vegetarian about 3 months ago. I forced myself to watch a bunch of disturbing PETA videos to help with the process. My original plan was to still eat fish once and a while though. The first month I stayed on target but it is really hard to find things to eat when I had eaten meat for around 39 years. After the first month it was getting really hard so I then added chicken back in. I am still trying to not eat cow or pig products but have had one burger and one bacon and egg sandwich in that time. Lately I have been thinking about having a burger every once in a while but I really want to try and never eat any pig products. They seem to be super smart animals even moreso than dogs and watching them killed really stuck with me.

I am not some crazy PETA person now or anything and wouldn't judge other people who eat meat but when you think about it there is really no reason for our society to consume meat. Really the main reason we do it is because we like it not that we need it. We have developed plenty of things to get any nutrients from meats that we need in other ways.

I actually am not even against killing of animals for food but hate the mass breeding, slaughter, and scientific alterations to them just so we can kill them and eat them. I know it will never happen and people will probably think I am crazy but I think the only way we should be able to eat meat is if we go out and hunt it ourselves. I actually respect hunters that kill for food.

Not sure why the killing of animals has bothered me so much recently but for some reason it has really been on my mind lately. I have even had a harder time watching movies that have animal killed. Cannibal Holocaust is one of my favorite films but I haven't been able to revisit it in a while.

That is my biggest problem trying to be a vegetarian is I end up eating lots of pizza, fries, and pasta . It would be an easy and healthy lifestyle if I was rich and could hire a chef to make me things.
