Born a vegetarian with meat eating friends, I am a confused vegetarian. In an indirect way, I have always been justifying my vegetarianism.
I went through my pre teens believing that Non-veg-ism involved too much blood shed and entered my teens to stay vegetarian out of religion.
Once while voicing my non-violence emphasized concerns over vegetarianism a meat-eating friend countered, that I killed plants when I devoured veggies. After all, arent plants supposed to have life? Over time, I decided that I had no sufficient reason for being a vegetarian, health never having been a prime concern anyway.
In my non-conformist avatar, I once ordered a meat dish in a restaurant only to leave it untouched.
Today, as I live overseas, by myself, there are more reasons supporting the consumption of meat. And I continue to remain a confused vegetarian. Just wondering if all of you vegetarians out there have a reason for being the way you are. Am I a one-of-a-kind specie? Are there any vegetarians trying to find a reason for living green?
