My First Blog

This is my first foray into the world of blogging, but not only that it is also the first place that I am putting in writing that I am a vegetarian. Some of you may think that I have been a vegetarian for about half a year now, but that is not true. I was a lacto ovo pescetarian, but more accurately I was a selective omnivore. I ate a farm-raised organic free-range turkey on Thanksgiving last year (with some help from my family), and have consumed my fair share of fish in the past 6 months. I am currently reading Jonathan Safran Foer's book "Eating Animals" and it has given me a new perspective on my eating habits. I am now officially a vegetarian, and I would like to share with you my reasons for choosing this lifestyle. To my meat-loving friends, I will try to avoid preaching the gospel of vegetarianism, and I would love for you to challenge me on any facts, figures, or statistics I give (I will try to cite sources). Also, please don't be alarmed if some of my posts have nothing to do with anything, I tend to do that sometimes.
