OOH THIS WEEK IS...
Posted On 05/19/2008 11:29:04 by LizLizLiz
VEGETARIAN WEEK 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, thats right, and its rather exciting!

I have been a vegetarian since I was nine...COUNT IT- SIX YEARS-NO MEAT AT ALL!!!!!!!!! Which Im happy about, coz I didnt think Itd been that long but it has :o LOL

So this week is really juss like any other for me, EXCEPT I will be going on about vegetarianism!

Soooo basically, TRY to cut out the meat this week, ALL OF IT. Including fish. Eggs n cheese n milk are ok, unless you wanna get all vegan. I couldnt do that though, Stupid iron deficiency :( Or you could juss cut out one days meat. Or make a really nice veggie meal instead of a meaty one? Juss something, a nod to this week perhaps!

Hennyways, Go to the shop, and get all the supplement stuff. Quorn n the like. You can replace ALL of it (I think) and the meat free stuff is soooo good, and it leaves you with a clear conscience, which is always good.

Please juss do it. Pretty Please, Me and the animals will love you forever. If you dont, Im totally judging you.  :P

More information on this go to....
http://www.vegsoc.org/index.html.... thats the website for the Vegetarian Society.

Umm for an animal rights vid go here...
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1282796533661048967 ...IDK what its like coz Its still loading BUT Ive heard its really interesting.

And now for some pictures of the animals you 'heartless beasts' alright fine 'non-veggies' will be continuing to eat if you dont go veggie this week...



These are some absolutely gorgeous pigs I took a photo of ages ago!! But they get turned into these...



Which is sooo sad.

And these beautiful sheep which I snapped a long time ago...



Arent they sweet!?!!?!

But not so sweet when theyre like this...



And these lovelies I got off photobucket, coz I dont see chickens all that often...



But then they get turned into this...



V V Sad.

Sooooooooooo, If you cant just can the meat for one week, til the 25th (Til Sunday) then wow. So please!! Please!! PLEASE!! Juss do it! Or something vegetarianny anyways!!

And to all the vegetarians pre blog, we already rock!!!

Love, Liz n the Animals xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thankyou Liz.

I really do have to do something with my diet and this may be a god time.


05/19/2008 16:30:17
BTW the meat really does look good to me!


05/19/2008 16:29:53
I am a meat eater, sorry! I do eat veggies as well, I respect your choice but its not for me, and thanks for sharing.


05/19/2008 15:54:09
Good for YOU, Liz, and thanks for sharing the info on veggie week.

I'll never understand why people have to wage personal attacks when they don't agree with something. Why can't they just say "good for you, being veg, but I love my meat, but thanks for sharing" or something?

I mean, is it THAT difficult to agree to disagree? I respectfully submit that I love meat, but I MORE than support your choice, and I WILL cut back on it this week, as a nod to you and the animals

Good on ya, Liziloo

Right, Liz Cubed, I'm a massive fan of meat... However, in the name of good form I'll be willing to forsake meat for seven days hence. God, what am I doing? I must be mad! x

You know, living in Colorado (Pretty health conscious state) it's not that unusual to be a vegetarian or just a non red meat eater. I moved ONE state away for a time to Kansas and I was CONSTANTLY picked apart for my eating habits...I dont get why to this day.....If I or anybody else chooses not to eat something....why do others care so much? Heck...it's more for them anyway....RIGHT??? I don't know...I just don't understand it personally.

I think your very brave putting this up, unfortunately Vegetarians are usually given a tough time, alot of them do not openly admit to it.

All though i believe in personal choice, there is a lot to be said about vegetarians, for example study's show they live longer, have lower cholesterol levels. Have you ever noticed that they usually have great skin too. Doctors will always advise to cut down on Red Meat, because of high cholesterol levels and blocked arteries.

A general association of the level of meat consumption with the rate of breast cancer was shown in the 2007 UK Women's Cohort Study of over 35,000 women, with a higher risk for the post menopausal compared to pre-menopausal women.

Intellectual development and vegetarianism.

Leonardo da Vinci, Pythagoras, Einstein and Edison were all vegetarians. This would seem to cut across the assertion that we need a supply of the LC-PUFAs, DHA and EPA, from animal sources to supplement the claimed meagre endogenous production for proper brain development. 

In a recent study in the UK, higher IQ was associated with an increased likelihood of being vegetarian. More than 8000 people from 1970 were studied. Four and a half percent reported being vegetarian at the age of 30. Higher IQ at the age of 10 increased the odds of being vegetarian at the age of 30 by 1.38 to 1. This remained true after social class, education level and sex were controlled for.

Well, luckily for me Im not in a famine affected country, so I have the luxury of choosing whether to destroy a life when there are alternatives. And I choose not to because I believe its wrong and immoral. And I really dont appreciate this, 'veggies are full of shit', Theres no point in abuse. Sticks and stones, and it looks like you dont know how to use your words.

And veggies, youre ossim!!

And boys you are funneh, It sooo does not look good!!! They look much better as actual animals!!

And Its tricky at first to go veggie yes, but there are soooo many supplements you can do it.


 


My goodness, redheads all seem to be very opinionated on vegetarianism!!!!!!!!


 


Have a great vegetarian week everyone!!
