the meat hiatus

It's been two weeks since i stopped eating meat.
(im not counting the time i ate spaghetti with lots of ground pork in it... it was a party and it's impolite to say no...but i did stay away from the grilled chicken and pork)

so why stop eating meat? hhmmnn... it started when i had intestinal problems due to shrimp intolerance. i really didn't feel like eating something meaty. so while surfing for vegetable recipes, i ended up watching this video on animal cruelty. this video was filmed in the US, and im pretty sure the meat industry here in the Philippines isn't as cruel. but after seeing the video, i can't help but feel sorry and at the same time disgusted. Some people say that animals are here to serve the purpose of being man's food. Well if that's your argument, why not eat your dog or your cat? See... it's just not right, it's cruel, and it's disgusting. then what makes the other animals less than your household pets? are they less intelligent, less social, less adorable?

if you still want to eat meat or have a weak stomach, you might not want to see this:
