*ahem*
I would just like to share with the world that it has been a whole month since I have eaten any sort of meat product. I came to the realization a while back that through all the support and volunteer work I have done with animal shelters and all the obsessive love and compassion I have for cats, dogs, sugar gliders, squirrels, and every furry and non furry animal I have ever come across in my life, as long as I was willing to shut my eyes to all the abuse and torture that happens every day to animals in our world and continue to consume their flesh on a daily basis, I was a hypocrite. There is nothing in this world I despise more than hypocrisy, and that was convincing enough to make a change.
Contrary to popular beliefs, since refraining from eating meat I have experienced a significantly higher amount of energy throughout the day. My hormonal crazy female spells have drastically decreased (which is AMAZING), Ive dropped a few pounds, and I feel better as whole knowing that I am making somewhat of a difference in the lives of creatures that I have always felt so passionately about.
I began this month with the mentality of a "trial period" to see if this lifestyle would really work for me. Now I could never imagine living any other way.
I've always wanted to start my own rescued animal program (primarily cats and dogs) , and now there is the prospect of branching out to livestock farms as well.
