Whenever I tell people I don't like eating meat, 95% (true fact) of their response is,"Why? Are you allergic...?" No...not liking it is a choice. I'm considering becoming a pescetarian again. I've done it for 3-4 years before, but started eating meat again because my hair stopped growing and I myself, also stopped growing. Now that I'm older I know that there are things I could substitute to get the same amount of protein and iron =) At the time, I didn't really get the support I needed to follow through in the long-run considering that I was always underweight and was constantly lectured by my mom about how important meat is. Also, from almost every single person that I encounter, was friends with, and my relatives. I don't like meat because I've never been fond of the taste, even as a kid, so I've always eaten everything but meat. One of the main reasons I chose to follow through even more with becoming a pescetarian/vegetarian at the time was because my love for animals, which is a very big part of why I don't want to eat animals anymore. I really am so used to eating seafood so I can't find myself giving it up completely, but maybe I can really do this.
Of course I know about the "circle of life," I know that our bodies need protein, I know that just because I'm not eating a piece of steak doesn't mean that another cow's life is spared. I know, I know, I know. But this a choice that I feel is right for me.

Buying a million books on my Kindle but not starting on even one, going to the record store to browse through records that are way too expensive for me to afford, collecting movie and band posters for my room, collecting hippie buttons for no reason just to add it to my stash of hippie buttons, playing Call of Duty: Black Ops not sober, thinking about zombies when I go to bed, dreaming about zombies while I'm sleeping, daydreaming about zombies when I'm awake.
