I started being a vegetarian a couple months ago after reading Happy Yoga by Steve Ross. Basically, all of the information on what was in today's meat (toxins, antibiotics, hormones, etc) really grossed me out.
What I've learned so far is really how gross mass-produced and slaughtered meat is, whether its beef, lamb, poultry, or pig.
So I started this blog to share information and resources for similar-minded people. I'm not a fist-pounding vegetarian who's going to get down on anyone ordering a hamburger. I just chose to do this for myself, and want to share with others who are interested.
Woo-hoo!

Information and Resources for other vegetarian-minded folks.
Why I'm Here
I'm here to share things that I wish I had learned years ago. There are things about the meat industry, meat additives, and animal cruelty that I wasn't aware of, so I ate meat and loved it as a "great source of protein!".
Then I started reading about what our government says is ok for meat, the utter cruelty that animals go through to supply our meat desire, a little bit about good karma, and the pollution and waste brought on by our carnivorous habits, and decided to switch to vegetarianism. Factory farms and all they do and contribute to are really frightening.
I don't judge anyone else for eating hamburgers. This is a personal choice, but I feel its a necessity to share this information so that you too can make an informed decision, whether it's to go veg or not.
