I'm coming out...

....As a vegetarian!! This week has not only been my 6 months anniversary as a nanny, but has also been my 1 year anniversary as a vegetarian! So I thought I would make my official statement :] It started out as something I thought I would just try for a while and turned into being one of the best decisions of my entire life! I have always loved animals, but never truly realized how many are used each year for human taste buds (10 Billion- not including fish!!!) & how horrible they are treated. Pau McCartney once said “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.” I did some research and looked behind the “glass wall” and did not like what I seen, so I decided to do something about it. When I first stopped eating meat, I thought I was going to miss it, little did I know that a year down the road I would feel that people who eat meat are missing out on how great it feels not to eat it! I feel so much healthier & happier knowing that an animal does not need to be killed to give me a delicious meal. Well, I did not post this as a soapbox for why everyone should be a vegetarian, so I won’t babble to long :) But I would love to offer support for anyone wanting to make this wonderful life changing decision :D
