It's my body and I'll do what I want to..

I find it amusing the response I get when I say that I am thinking about becoming a vegetarian.

Well...aquatarian if we are going to get technical.

And no, aquatarian is not according to my 'star sign.' Nor does it consist of just drinking water. It's called a dictionary. You might find it helpful.

This last year I have been seriously thinking about becoming a vego. And I think it has caused more controversy then getting my lip pierced or my tattoo (soo I might be exaggerating a little. Or not)

Why the choice? A few simple (to me anyway) reasons:

1. My father is a biker. Biker + summer time = BBQ. I have had a life time of meat in one summer.

2. I feel so much better when I have eaten vegetarian food. More energised and calmer.

3. Less processed crap, less chemicals. Have you ever wondered why your roast chicken is so freaking big??

4. The amount of grain it can take to feed a cow, could be used to feed people in the world who actually need to be fed. Not westernised consumerist self-centered* people who say they are starving and would have no idea what starvation was even if it bit them fair on the arse. (*cough* generalisation..to a degree)

5. Yes I have eaten 'fast food'. And when I have eaten at world famous family restaurants ( Ha! What a joke) two days in a row, I get into a fowl (hehe punisment) mood.

6. What does it matter if I decide to cut meat (bar fish/seafood) out of my diet?

And yes...I now have soy milk in my hot drinks :p
