Ok so as of yesterday I have decided to become a vegetarian. It's an idea that I have been throwing around for a little while now and I have decided that it is something that I should really try to do because, honestly, I like animals more than people and I wouldn't eat a person.
So the other day I was still going over all that goes into being a vegetarian and whether or not I was prepared to do it and Slayer decided that he wanted to go swimming so we ended up going to the dam. He brought his fishing poles and attempted to catch a fish but had no such luck. So he decided that we were going to go to the trout farm in North Ogden. So we get there and it seems like a quaint little place, but do not be fooled. These were the killing fields. Dalton caught a fish right away and we put it in the bucket and it was splashing around and I felt awful, I apoplogized to the poor guy a million times. Then Slayer caught one and was having trouble getting the hook out, so he just ripped it out and ended up taking the little fella's gill right off his face. So then I had to apologize to that little fishy too. After this tramatic scene we ehad to take them to the butcher and have her measure them and fillet them. She takes them out of the bucket and over to the bloody sink and without warning picks up a big wooden stick and clubs them! I seriously about screamed and died right there. So I said to Slayer, "Vegetarianism starts RIGHT NOW!"
So I shall not eat meat (though I will miss bacon) and I will consume only cage free eggs. I haven't quite made it to soy milk, I'm working on it. It's kind of weird. There are also some garden burgers in the fridge at home and I have yet to try them because I am pretty scared of those as well. But I feel like this will be a good thing for me to do. It could potentially make me healthier and I will feel better about the foods that I eat, because I know that fruits and veggies are not tortured.
