(no subject)
when i was in college, i took professional ethics and the professor made us watch an animal cruelty video. i guess at the time i was not paying attention or chose to avoid the subject, because the video didn't really have much of an effect on me.
anyway, a few days ago i watched another video about animal cruelty. well, it was actually about how animals are treated before they are slaughtered and how they are slaughtered, etc. it was very ..... uncensored? graphic? it really got to me this time. to the point that i've given up meat.
as of now it's tentative. i'm three days sin carne. i don't know if it will last, i don't know if i will be dedicated enough to sustain these eating habits, but we'll see. i really don't want to eat meat anymore. and the only reason i'm still consuming dairy is because i have no vegetarian/vegan-style food in my apartment yet, so mac & cheese was my only option tonight. i think wednesday i'll go shopping for good food. and vitamins.
the bad part is that everyone i've told has not been very supportive. i'm not trying to impose the lifestyle on anyone else. i'm gonna have a hard enough time getting myself to follow through, much less convince others to partake. i don't know what their problem is. people are just mean, i guess.
anyway, wish me luck.
