See this pig. This pig will not live much longer.
That's because it will be killed for food. Pork, bacon, sausage, ham, and many more things are made from pigs. It's not just pigs,animals like cows and chickens are also used for food. Next time you are at a restaurant looking at the menu, or at home deciding what to eat for dinner,think about what your food
was before it was your food. Say to yourself"Do you really want to eat animals like this one.
I became a vegetarian because I hate how animals are treated. At first, I ate a little meat but then stopped. When I read The Omnivore's Dilemma it made me feel bad for the animals. For example some people think that it's okay to eat chickens because they aren't smart, but I read that they have proved to be as smart as dogs and some primates.This is a link to the magazine I read this in. http://www.peta.org/
Another reason to become vegetarian is for health reasons. Meat is bad for you in many ways. Meat causes heart disease, strokes, and many other things. In this blog I plan to talk about being vegetarian and give some recipes.
