I'm a Veggie

I had been a Non - Vegetarian since I was child which I gave up few years earlier...

Here are a few things that made me do it, all of which does not have substantial evidence as I haven't made any research work on this.

Bio Magnification
This is a term which I learned in my schools. You can go thru the Wikipedia(Click the link above) if you want to learn more of it. Other similar terms are Bioaccumulation , Bioconcentration etc.

More expensive
You will be spending more energy to cook the meat than any Vegetarian food(I do not have any Veg in my list that takes longer, do let me know if there is one). I do not have stats to pile it here, but its evident enough to me to say that.

Rights
During lunch with my friends(often that is the case), all my friends have commented "All edible thing in this world is for man to eat". I give back a smile for them

Aren't we hiding the greedy self inside us with that belief/comment?
doesn't every being in this world have the same right to live as we do?
Are we superior enough to kill those living things just for the pleasure of its taste?

More prone to Health Issues
Most outlets or so called Fast-Food centres doesn't always are up to it when it comes to the properly preparing cooked food, and are real bad to our health more than the joy it gives for few moments. More diseases that are transmitted thru animals are making it to the list than ever before and its not that hard to believe that quitting Non-Veg is a good thing to do.

Attitude
Attitude does play a big role in whatever small or big thing we do, so does it in this case as well. Most of my friends had this dialogue whenever I recommended them to quit the non-veg foods "Why are we working so hard in life? its to njoi life so enjoi the food, feel the taste, is Veg food good enough to replace the Non-Veg foods?"

Have asked them whether they are living to eat? or eating to live? in return, that's what my attitude have been when it comes to food. I do break that rule sometimes when it comes to sweets ;-).

Conclusion : I'm happy being a Vegetarian and never had to look back since I gave up Non-Vegs.
