Why am I a vegetarian?

 Why am I a vegetarian?

As many of you know, being a vegetarian consists of a diet that does not include any type of meat. It is a diet composed mainly of plants. However, I do eat eggs, honey and a little dairy (for now, I plan to stop eating them). Being a vegetarian was a very long process, mainly because a lot of meat was consumed in my home, it took me several years to adapt to a meat-free diet, but I finally managed it, I have been a vegetarian for 2 years and I feel very happy about it. In addition, I managed to reduce meat consumption by 85% at home. When I started with the idea of being a vegetarian it was at 16 years old and I did it mainly because it is a very healthy diet. Meat increases the risk of certain diseases, forms poisons, and contains hormones, antibiotics and other medications that are given to animals on farms. As time went by, I realized that being a vegetarian is having respect for the environment and for animals, and I think this is the most important thing since in our hands is the power to protect them. I want to be part of those people who have the energy of dignity and non-violence in the world.

Today I feel great, healthier and more energetic.
