Dear Blog,

I'm vegetarian because the thought of eating a dead, sentient being (that had blood and guts) is kinda disgusting. *shudder*

But I need more than that to back up my diet. Or people will push me to eat meat...

Most meat and eggs come from factory farming. None of these factory farms ever have hygienic, and comfortable conditions. Being an animal lover, that's another reason not to eat animal. (also, the meat is packed with hormones and probably not very good for you anyway. Gone are the days when meat was completely un-processed and came from happy, frolicky animals of farm tales)

I give an exception to free-range/pasture range eggs.

I know, the world has to have humans as omnivores. It's the food chain, circle of life and whatnot. I'm just choosing not to be one. Besides, humans only take the strongest, healthiest and biggest for food, while in the wild, the weakest are taken. We are not really contributing to the 'circle of life' anymore. Our waste don't go back to nature, we're not culling populations, we're mass-producing them. I digress... Oh heck, humans gonna be humans and we can eat meat if we want.

But I don't want, so I don't eat (meat).

I won't preach about vegetarianism to meat-eaters, they can go ahead, but I will crinkle my nose at the food. Especially pork. It tasted the worst. Anyone realize that the closer the level of intelligence of an animal to our level of intelligence, the more yucky the taste is? Pork has a distinct aftertaste, not unlike rotting food...

My only regret is that gummies contain gelatine, which is animal bone marrow...

Ew.
