I turned vegetarian on the 26th of January 1970.<\/p>\n
One of the reasons why I became vegetarian was because it is
\nan extension of my Pacifist, Humanitarian, and Atheist
\nphilosophy.<\/p>\n
I also became vegetarian because it means that one can grow
\nmore food, and thus help to combat world starvation.<\/p>\n
Even after the growth of the vegetarian movement, and after
\nall these years, I still find people asking just why I am Vegie,
\nor have very little idea upon just what a Vegie diet entails.<\/p>\n
Once a year I go visit my doctor for a health check.
\nOne of the queries I get a ‘well done’ for doing at these visits
\nresults from my being Vegie.<\/p>\n
Being vegetarian reduces the chance of developing many
\nmedical conditions , such as stomach problems, high colostral
\nlevels, etc.<\/p>\n
There is also another reason for being vegetarian: –<\/p>\n
It helps in the struggle to stop climate change.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Because it takes less energy and petrochemical resources to
\ngrow the crops which comprise a vegetarian diet.<\/p>\n
This just goes to show that there is no such thing as one simple
\nreason as to why I became Vegie.<\/p>\n
There is an old saying:
\n‘You are what you eat’.<\/p>\n
In this time of climate change worries there should be a new
\nsaying: –<\/p>\n
Your planet will change with what you eat.<\/p>\n
Just think about it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
