Rebecca - “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”-Ghandi That’s always been a favorite of mine especially living in a nation caught up in its greatness and moral character. As you know from high school, I’ve spent a great number of years as a vegetarian only to have broken this over the past couple of years. No, my beliefs and convictions have not change. I’m just horrible at being a vegetarian. I’m not very good at keeping up with the dietary exchanges. This was fine when I was young and healthy. But now that I find myself chronically ill and on about ten medications at any given time it just doesn’t work. So I have to humbly break form and eat chicken and dairy from time to time. This provides me with the protein I need that helps with my medication absorption or replaces the protein the medication robs from my body. It’s kind of funny that chicken is all that I can stomach. Red meat and other forms of meat just really gross me out. Chicken does too if I think about it to much. So anyhow, I can’t call myself a vegetarian anymore. But I am pleased to see that other people are making the effort. One more interesting fact and I will stop rambling. A couple of weeks ago, I watched a documentary on Seventh Day Adventists. It turned out being more of an infomercial for their health care system in Florida than it was an actual documentary on the religion but anyhow, I digress. One thing they pointed out, is that followers of that faith are living longer and are more productive into their later years than other Americans. They attribute this to the vegetarian diet that they adhere to their entire lives as part of their faith. It’s never too late to educate anyone. My mom grew up in rural western New York. Her brother used to raise rabbits for them to eat. As most of you know, I have a pet bunny. When my mom first caught wind of this, she was confused. She wondered, why in the hell would I want to have a bunny and not eat it. Bit by bit, I would tell her things the rabbit would do. I would tell her about the rabbits personality. Now she buys the rabbit things. She sees how cute it is. Now, when she looks at it, she doesn’t see dinner.
