Everything disgusted me, the taste, the bloody color, the texture and the most important thing was how I was socked to eat another living being as if it was normal to have pets and to eat others.
When I was arround 6 I asked What is the rules ? Who decide which animals we eat or not ? The only answer that I ha dis : « It is like that do not try to win time and deal with me eat your meat now » !
Some of you know how it is hard to be the only veg when you are young in a family, to convince that is not a child’s whim. Of course it was easier when you grown up to impose your opinion.
But in my small city to be veg meant you are an alien, all the time you have to explain whay you decided to do it ?
In my case it wasn’t a decision it was impossible to eat meat.
Then I realised also how meat industry treat animals and how the meat that you can buy are polluted. I mean when you go to supermarkets to buy your steak most of the time you eat poison. The mains companies don’t follow the animals and antipollution ethics, and thanks to the industry who produce a lot but bad quality (so cheap meat) the butcher in your street cannot practice the same prices, he has to close and leave the monopoly to the big companies.
This is for all these reasons and more that to be vegetarian is a questions of responsability.
