Going Green!

When I told my mother I was going to be a vegetarian she didnt try to discourage me, she simply said,
Fine, Julie, but Im not making two dinners. She thought it was a phase, something that I would grow
out of. After all, who can live their entire life without eating a hamburger or a hot dog? Turns out, lots of
people can.
You have to realize, two of my uncles are butchers and they keep much of my family in discount meat.
For me to walk into my parents kitchen and inform my mother that I would no longer be participating in
family steak night was, well, unexpected to say the least.
Much to my mothers dismay, I turned out to be one of thousands of young vegetarians. Some people
thought I did it to be cool, some people (like my mother) thought I did it for shock value. But I was
always asked the one-word question (so many times I should hand out flyers* explaining it): WHY?
Why? Lots of reasons, I was never a big steak fan, loved animals, and when I was little I lived on a farm.
If you have ever named a cow, you will understand how difficult it is to sit down to a hamburger.
*flyer.- Leaflet which is given to people in the street. / Folleto.
