My+Story

I was born on May 31st 1995. My whole life was the same up until a year ago. One year ago, I decided to be a vegetarian, and change my life. If you think about it, there aren't as many vegetarians as there are meat eaters. Being a vegetarian doesn’t mean your just changing your eating habits. Your changing your psychological thinking, and the environment around you. A vegetarian is a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, and healthier foods. Specifically, I’m a Lacto-Ovo vegetarian. A Lacto-Ovo vegetarian is defined as the third level of veganism on the vegetarian scale. Lacto-Ovo vegetarians do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish, or any sort of animal flesh of any type or kind. I do eat things like pizza, soy foods, beans, and regular healthy foods. My eating habits are pretty much way different from a lot of other people, but they're not completely un-normal. I guess you could say I’m more of a healthy eater, but I still eat tons of junk food, just like anyone else. Most of my diet consists of fruits, vegetables, milk, and junk food once in awhile. I'm the kind of person who controls and pays attention to what they eat, rather then just shoving whatever I can find in my mouth. This is my third attempt at my veganism. My first attempt was in sixth grade, which I tried twice, and failed miserably. My longest attempt before this was three months. Finally the first month of my seventh grade year, I finally just decided to go through with it and become a vegetarian. You see, I learned that if you really want to be a vegetarian, you don't wait for the right moment for it to happen. You just have to do it and follow through with it. I’m a vegetarian because I strongly believe in animal rights, and their rights to live. I’m also a vegetarian because I dislike meat a lot, and not eating meat saves animals. I hope to continue to be a vegetarian for a really long time. That's my story ! (:
