1. Are you a vegetarian? Hell, no! I am a hopeless carnivore!
2. If so why and if not have you ever considered being one? I have considered it many times. I love animals and hate the thought of eating them. Nothing compares to the guilt that I feel when I pass these guys on my route after having a big juicy hamburger for lunch!
Unfortunately, I am weak willed and I love the taste of meat. I try to justify it by telling myself that it's their fault for tasting so good, but I know that it isn't true...
If I had to slaughter the animals myself for food, I could never do it. I try to dissociate the meat from the animal it once was.
3. What do you think the pros to being a vegetarian are? I would imagine that the diet of a vegetarian (not a vegan!) would be much healthier than that of myself and my fellow carnivores.
4. What do you think the cons are? I would have to give up many of my favorite foods. I've tried some of the meatless alternatives to foods that I like. Some of them are quite tasty, but most are bland and flavorless. Also, most restaraunts offer few, if any, vegetarian dishes on their menues.
5. Do you think celebrities may have influenced teens to become vegetarians? Perhaps they have infuenced their initial choice, but to maintain a lifestyle such as this, one must have strong personal convictions on the matter. The influence of a celebrity can only go so far.
