Should I Become a Vegetarian?
Recently I came across an archived article, titled “Should You Become a Vegetarian? Think Before You Eat,” from Ebony magazine’s July 2003 issue. It’s a good read, and good press coverage of a vegetarian diet, but I’ve devised a quicker way to decide if you should become vegetarian or not.
Answer each question with a yes or no:

1. Do you want to be healthy?
2. Do you like living animals?
3. Do you respect your body?
4. Do you believe that you are what you eat?
5. Do you feel that no creature should live a life of torture, confinement, abuse, and general mistreatment?
6. Do you like to eat delicious, nutritious, colorful food without feeling guilty?
7. Do you want to feel physically, mentally, and emotionally better?
8. Do you hate touching and preparing raw meat?
9. Do you want to be trendy and jump on the green-friendly or educated-consumer bandwagon?
10. Do you want to be in the company of celebrities like Paul McCartney, Carrie Underwood, Kristen Bell, Emily Deschanel, and Tobey Maguire?
If you answered yes to at least one of these questions, then you should become a vegetarian! (And if you answered yes to all of them … what are you waiting for?!)
