Why I am a Veggie: The Very Short Answer. Well, as short as I can be...

 

God? Is it really too much to ask? BTW, this has no relevance to this post. lol

 

I love emoticons... lol. :)

So, I thought it would be best to kick of this sparkly new blog by telling you about MYSELF a bit and my goals for my blog:

"Welcome! I love visitors! Blogging alone is boring... :) This blog does and does NOT have a purpose. :) Please join me on my journey into a lifestyle somewhere vegetarianism and veganism. I plan on posting once a week. General topics will be: recipe reviews, information that caught my attention, good ideas & belly flops, and more! It is NOT to a blog to gross, shame, or guilt you into anything. Neither is this blog only for veggies! Who says awesome food that happens to be meat free is only for "us"?"

Why? People always want to know right? I MIGHT  ask the next person I see eating chicken nachos that question. ;) Again, or me it’s complicated. I love animals, but must people do right? J For me it’s sort of from a strange angle. In the Bible, God* told us we have dominion over all animals on the earth and in the seas. He also said to care for them. I vehemently disgraced by factory farming.

 THAT is not what I feel God intended and so, my conscious will not let me support it with my money.  Right now I consume do dairy and egg products. Once fully settled into the glamorous life of vegetarian meal planning and life, I’m thinking about trying veganism if I cannot source/afford local eggs & milk from happy cows and chickens. J I am ok with occasionally consuming wild caught sustainable fish and seafood.

 

 

 

Besides asking why, the curious ask “Don’t you love bacon?” Yes! My favorite food as got to be a rare steak topped with blue cheese butter. We all know what we WANT to eat, what we should eat, and can/will eat are very different. J We are all aware of friends with gluten allergies or maybe peanut allergies. Don’t the still long wistfully for Duncan Hinds or PB fudge? Well, instead of my body, my conscious is allergic to animal flesh. My brain taste buds can just shut up! Lol :p

Like I said in my intro, this is about my journey. J I hope you come along, even if it’s with your baloney sandwich.  Hmm….. are we sure there IS ACTUALLY meat in there? Lol!

*I have an excellent article-on my phone :-/ - discussing the position of vegetarianism and diet from the time of the early church and today. I will a.) make a small post explaining why II posted it and reconnect both the direct and blog post link here when completed. If you just can’t wait, google “Christians and vegetarianism”. Pretty cool stuff. J
