Vegetarianism
Ah okay its been so long! I've been crazy busy with exams and stuff but its finally all over so I promise I will post again!!
So I guess one big life change since I last posted on here.... I'm now a vegetarian!
I've been wanting to be vegetarian pretty much most my life but it just wasn't possible with my mum having to cook two meals and stuff but now we've found a way around it and so I am now officially vegetarian!
So I thought I'd share with you my responses to most peoples responses when I tell them this (it'll make sense in a minute hopefully!) so here is sort of my FAQs on it I guess?
Anyway here we go...
Oh... Why?!
The majority of people's response.... Well I don't see the point in killing living animals for food when we have other food sources because when we can survive without meat I don't see that it's really worth it to eat meat with the price that has to be paid. I also believe that all life is worth the same, I don't see a human life as being of so much more value than say a dog or horse, so again I just feel that the price you have to pay for meat is too high for me to want to pay it and I would prefer to not eat meat. I don't mind other people eating it, I'm not one of those people who say everyone must be vegetarian, I'm just saying that personally I would rather not be a part of it.
But we were made to eat meat, that's just stupid.
Many people have responded this way and although with the course evolution has followed is that we do eat meat it doesn't have to be this way, we ca survive perfectly well without ever eating meat as long as we get the vitamins and proteins from other places! So yes we may have evolved to eat meat but there are other options too... we weren't made only to eat meat!
But you don't need to lose weight!
Okay so I know some people are vegetarian or vegan for dieting reasons but I'm afraid I don't really agree with that because then as soon as you're a weight you want to be you'll eat meat again so you're not really doing it for the right reasons.... Also I'm a firm believer in that you are who you are and we should all stop trying to be someone else, if you're happy with your weight then stick with it. Who cares what everyone else thinks?
Oh you're gonna turn into one of them....
Haha so I know some people get very into vegetarianism and veganism and campaign to get the world to turn vegan but nope that's not me... If you want to eat meat, do. If you don't, then don't. Simple. Don't worry I'm going to try my hardest not to become like that! (no offense if you are like...?)
And last but NOT least....
But.... BACON?!?!?!?!?!??!!!!???!!!!!!!
Yes 90% of people have asked how I could give up bacon. The simple truth is... I don't like bacon. (Please don't kill me in my sleep. I can't help who I am, forgive me....) I would eat bacon when I had to but I'd always rather not because I genuinely don't particularly like the taste of it so I won't be missing it! I mean it's okay but what's the big attraction?! It's really not that nice... it's like the fault in our stars, it was okay but not brilliant.... (okay please don't kill me again. Now feeling like I could die tonight sharing this with the entire internet....)
So you're pretty much up to date in my uneventful, dull life...
Sorry again for the months on end without a single word but I am alive and I will be posting more, I promise!!

P.S. oh I dyed my hair red too. Yeah that's literally all that's happened in that last couple months!
