Vegetarianism

About two months ago I became a vegetarian. I kind of slowly built up to my decision to completely change what I eat, but I'm so glad I did. When I was about 14 I started realizing that eating meat on the bone was so disgusting to me. It looks so... inhumane, in my opinion. Then, I slowly stopped eating red meat. When I came to App I was bombarded with those little pamphlets about how awful our food system is and how horrible the animals are treated before they die. The last straw was when my mom was forced to become vegetarian for health reasons and so I started eating more and more vegetarian meals. I then decided that I was not going to eat meat anymore. It's definitely harder to go out to eat, almost impossible to eat anything cheap or fast, and hard to find enough protein per day. My boyfriend and my dad think I'm a complete weirdo and they basically don't accommodate to my eating habits whatsoever. I'm getting to the point now where I know I couldn't stomach eating meat and I'm learning to find vegetarian food thats yummy, filling, and not stocked with carbs. My favorite places to get quality vegetarian meals are: Chipotle, Which Wich, Our Daily Bread, and Dos Amigos. All in all, I'm really glad that I chose to be a vegetarian even though it makes life a little harder. I made the choice based on what I believe in and I stuck to it, even though some of my friends and family said I wouldn't.
