Vegetarian Propaganda

I stumbled across some good vegetarian propaganda today. Here's the link. Browse through the pages. It has some good information.

I'll admit I've been tempted to abandon my vegetarian ways lately.

On rare occasions, I have eaten meat. If someone who doesn't know that I'm a vegetarian brings me food with meat in it, I'll eat it. I'm not going to turn down a generous offering.

Just the other day I had a crabcake. One of my coworkers brought it in just for me.

I ate hot wings last year after a very nice kid brought some for me at a special luncheon. You can't turn something like that down.

I ate hagus once. It was during the Scottish Ball a few years ago. You can't pass up hagus at the Scottish Ball.

After not eating meat for so long, eating it like that usually messes with my stomach.

But I still crave pulled pork and hot wings. Then of course there's the ham we've had in the house all week for our Easter guests. So it still tempts sometimes.

After reading the vegetarian propaganda above again though, I'm back solidly on board.

Eating meat is just not sustainable over the long run. It causes all kinds of illness and disease. Yet meat consumption in the U.S. has climbed dramatically over the past few decades. And the message that meat is bad gets shut out. Why? It might have something to do with the fact that it's a mega million dollar industry in the U.S.
