Why Vegetarianism?

I bet the cows scream inside when the butcher slices her throat. And the turkeys squeal when they are dropped into hot water 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Or how about the male pigs when they are getting their testicles ripped out without painkillers. Not to mention the conditions these animals live under in factories.


So why, why do we do this. Is it for our daily portion of meats, or is it for our own selfish endeavors? Either way it isn’t fair. We take control of living beings with hearts, feelings, and souls. Oh and what about the milk that “strengthens our bones and teeth?” Do we let pigs drink human breast milk? No, we don’t, so why are we drinking the milk that belongs to the calves? All of the questions only lead to one solution, vegetarianism.


Vegetarianism should be a ‘must do’ in America. We shouldn’t be breeding then eating our precious animals. We should be saving their lives and eating healthy. It is proven fact that the human digestive system was never fit to digest meat. Now a day so much red meat has harmful chemicals and toxins. So why do we even include it in our daily diet? I wonder if a parent would feed their child a cheeseburger if they knew it had chemicals in it, from steroids that were injected in that cow, to effectively speed up the growth process. This is exactly why the new generation’s grow rates are exponentially higher than ever before. This is also probably where all of these rare diseases are coming from.


I believe in my heart that everyone should go vegetarian. Extend your life by eating well, it’s for our own goods. Sure, we talk about having healthier futures, but how can we set a good example for newer generations when we are the generation that settles for less. We must step up before we are too late.


Vegetarianism offers the opportunity to save animals while maintaining, sustaining, and extending our lives. So why are we still waiting at home, at the dinner table cutting the steak that we plan to scarf down; or at McDonalds ordering a McChicken from the dollar menu? Perhaps the fried chicken is irresistible. However, maybe next time we visit the grocery store, we’ll think for more than just ourselves.
