You are what you eat
“You are what you eat”, is a slogan that I love to use to show the mental aspect of vegetarianism. When animals are slaughtered, fear and aggression enzymes are shot into their cells from their glands and other organs, just as in humans, and are part of the dead carcass that goes on to the food store. They remain in the meat until the consumer ingests those same enzymes, which are molecularly very similar to those found in humans. Fruits and vegetables do not have emotions; therefore, when they are picked they do not release any emotions cells prior to digestion. The enzymes within fruits and vegetables supply the body with sufficient nutrients that will always uphold a healthy state of mind.
Fruits and vegetables are high in nutrients; the very thing the body needs to live a long disease and pain free life. The same cannot be said for meat. Nutritionally, the alkaline-based digestive system of humans will not properly break down substantial acid substances, the greatest of which is meat.
So what do you decide? To be vegetarian or not?

I love the idea of this. It helps when I am having a craving for some cheese or eggs. I have only been vegan for 2 weeks and this second week has been much harder than the first. But I am remembering the reasons I chose to go vegan and animal cruelty is the biggest one. Its our human cruelty towards animals that is the problem. They aren't disposable! I was reading a book to my boys about Native Americans and explaining how they worked so hard to survive and their survival was aided when they killed a buffalo. They used all parts of the animal. To make tools, blankets, clothing, and of course meat. My husband joked that he would get tired of eating buffalo. But they also used what was available to them (foods natural to their area). Its amazing how we have come so far and everyone is now realizing that we should probably go back to eating what's in season and natural.
