Being Veg

by Neel

How hard is to be a vegetarian?

Very for some.

I’ve tried being vegetarian but I’ve failed miserably. It worked out for a couple of years when I was really into the Art of Living course and all that. But now I have an occasional chicken temptation come biting me. So I opt for Chicken Tikka and yes even crunchy KFC.

My intake of meat has really come down…I’ve quit mutton,bacon,crab…

There is an idea that being vegetarian is equal to being boring. But what drove me to being vegetarian was compassion.

Have you been a guilty vegetarian and dreamt of the occasional turkey slice? I know some vegetarians who vomit at the smell of chicken. That is social conditioning in its extreme.

The vegetarian diet is safe. Even pregnant women vouch by it. If you have prenatal vitamins, mineral supplements, plenty of fruits and vegetables, nuts, raisins and whole grain servings(up to six times a day) and plenty of water, being pregnant will be a breeze. Your doctor can help you chart a good diet if you have doubts about being vegetarian and pregnant at the same time.

There’s nothing wrong in being vegetarian considering that global warming has a lot to do with the meat industry(the burping cows cause global warming argument) today. We have the supplements and nutritional know how to stick to being sensibly veg. But if you have a craving, identify what nutritional supplement you may be lacking in. Guilt is not the answer.

If you want to go veg and have no clue read this article.
