Why i Stopped Eating Meat - Tim Sheiff http://www.youtube.com/user/99timshi
I never thought I would actually truly consider going vegan. I always though maybe vegetarian that would be easier, 'just no meat'. But really if your going to do it do it right. 'Go hard or go home'
I have had chickens as pets all my life... I never really took it in that I am eating my pets basically for dinner about 5 times a week !
My most recent chickens were battery hens saved from an old caged chicken farm. I used to think wow we did something really good by saving them and bringing them to a free life. Whilst I was still able to eat eggs and chicken nearly everyday. I can't even comprehend the pain my chickens and billions of other chickens go through day in and day out when caged. Ever since they were 'lucky' (really how could I even use the word lucky) enough not to get slaughtered, they still are forced to live their life in cages that they can't even walk in; so small their feathers are worn away from how tightly squeezed they are into these cages.
I always thought I was dong the morally right thing by not buying caged eggs from the food store, which I defiantly was but why haven't I ever taken it to any further and really made the right change to my life. As I have always felt strongly about animal rights I should of come to this conclusion long ago but to be honest the only reason I hadn't tried going vegan or vegetarian before is because I though secretly 'that would be to hard' gosh how selfish can I be. I also never realised how much energy, carbs and protein you can get from an all vegan diet because I am a cyclist I never wanted to miss out on eating food that would give me energy for the best result but really as this video says you can get all the energy you need from the most natural and raw source there is, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
My recipes will still be no vegan but hopefully soon when i gain more knowledge i will be able to give advice on how to make them vegan.
Thank you Tim Sheiff. This video was amazing it has influenced me to try being vegan for myself. It is going to be tough I know! Defiantly coming from a Italian background and because our family eats chicken nearly for every dinner meal. If I fail I will got vegetarian and if that fails i will cut out all major meats, or go vegan a few days a week, trying as hard as I can to make the difference one person at a time to improving this major problem in the world.
