You Want to Be a Vegetarian?

I decided to talk about being a vegetarian...especialy because you write me and tell me you want to be vegetarian, but is it easy? or....I need help doing it! Help me be a vegetarian!!! People say this....it's strange from my perspective, because I was born a vegetarian. But I am just talking about it here. I had uploaded one version of this that I didn't realize I had done. This is the one I like better. It's edited to make it shorter and has pictures....more to the point that I wanted to make.

You say that you don't know what its like to have to give up something, knowing that thing is bad, but can't give it up.

Yet you are religious....

@Harresd I have never eaten meat so I don't miss it, or crave it.

@suchandradasi Thank-you for uploading and sharing this video. I've been thinking about going vegetarian for a very long time. I'm starting to get sick of meat now. Thank-you for your encouraging words.

@lilkalanadiangirl31 I'm glad you like it. You'll feel so good about being a vegetarian. Just take it one day at a time and one little step at a time. Try some new veggie alternatives they have like veggie hot dogs some time!

I wanted to be a vegetarian since I was a teenager, but found it so hard to be different from everyone else. I also took up drinking and smoking and coffee.

In the last couple of years I have given it all away. For me, the thing that worked in the end was to ask God and have faith it would happen, and it did.

now that I'm a vegetarian (almost a year now) I can't even imagine eating meat.

The problem isn't eating meat, it's eating too much meat. We are evolved to eat meat. You can tell this by looking at our teeth, or the digestive enzymes we produce (pepsin) for breaking down meat protein. Essential nutrients are in meat, some of which cannot be found anywhere else. A good example is cobalamin (Vit B12). This is an essential vitamin found only in meat protein. Because of low levels, vegetarians and vegans suffer from megaloblastic anemia. Sorry, but we are omnivores

Haribol Suchandra, you are a beautiful person within and without. Thankyou.

I think most people eat meat because it's the custom, and they never stop to think about whether it actually makes sense. If everybody were vegetarian, I wonder if anyone would think it was a good idea to start eating the corpses of animals. I wonder how many people would eat meat now if they had to do the killing themselves. The latest craze is "humanely" raised meat -- for those who are against the torture of animals ... but don't have any problem with animal slaughter. Welcome to Kali Yuga.
