I'm toying with the idea of being a vegetarian. Well, a seafooditarian to be more precise. (I simply cannot survive without seafood. I could eat it every day if I could.) Meat is fine and good, but I'm finding that the idea of eating an animal is getting harder and harder for me. I used to like chicken quite a bit, but as I was eating my burrito yesterday, I did not like the feeling of the flesh in my mouth. I was thinking that a little chicken had to be slaughtered so I can have a little protein in my food. I'd rather eat tofu. Shoot, I like tofu!
This has been something that's been on my mind for a few months now. I was watching Sandra Lee on the Food Network one day and she busted out with a slab of cow for her taco. My initial reaction was, "Ewww," which was quite suprising to me at the time. I was like, "Where did that come from?" And a few days ago, I was watching Anthony Bourdain eat a suckling pig in Thailand. I felt so bad for that little piggie. I found out that those piglets are killed between two and five weeks of age. I was mortified to say the least. So I'm definitely anti-suckling pig and anti-veal. At least give the poor babies a chance to live!
Now don't misunderstand. I'm not a crazy PETA type chick. In fact, I don't support PETA because of their crazy antics. (I'm also anti-fur, but I don't believe they should wreck other people's belongings and judge them.) You like cow? Good for you. That's fine and dandy. I think I will simply choose not to eat it, but I don't really care if you do.
