Okay, so most of you already know that I made a personal decision about a month ago to go vegetarian. I stopped eating beef over two years ago after watching a cow slaughter and I was horrified to say the least. I'm not a huge meater anyway, so this wasn't a huge change to my daily diet. I just feel that the way that many animals are treated, mistreated and pumped full of hormones all so I can have food on my table, is disgusting. There must be a better way and I'm hoping that my interest in the vegetarian lifestyle will help me find a better way for myself and for my family.
As a matter of fact, Brigitta ate garden burgers and vegan hot dogs this weekend and LOVED them!! :) For those of you wondering, Scott is not going vegetarian and I'm not asking him to, this is all for me and all about me. I just ask that you please not judge me and I will not judge you for eating meat.
Now, I was just sent the following video from PETA (don't judge) about the mistreatment of turkeys. So, before you get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this next week, please watch and see if there are alternatives. I don't think the Pilgrims and Indians treated their turkeys this way.
I can't make the video work, damn you blogger, but if you are interested, go to www.peta.org and you can see that video along with many more facts.
