his story is about my wife and I and the reason why we became vegetarians. It all started in 1995 with our religious beliefs, we followed the biblical laws of clean and unclean foods that we read were handed down by the creator of us all. We

followed the law and would not eat anything unclean for about five years. During that fifth year I began thinking, which in my case can be a dangerous thing to do. I started to ask myself did our creator really provide these creatures that share this earth with us, were they really provided for our food? I struggled and struggled with this thought to myself during that whole fifth year.

decided to go back to the very beginning which said that all the plants and herbs would be food for us humans and for all the creatures. As I said I struggled with this on my own no one suggested this, it was my own inner being which brought

me to the conclusion that it just was not right to use these creatures for our food. I then presented the thought to my wife and surprisingly she agreed with me. So since 1995 we have not consumed any animal flesh, we still eat cheese and eggs on occasion and we both feel much better about our decision. I believe if most people would just give it some serious thought and I mean really think about it, I am sure that they would also change.

hat do our friends say and how do they react? Well comments like what do you eat? and don’t you miss the steaks, chicken, ribs, and sausage? My favorite reply is the one my wife gives to me when I ask, what are we having tonight? She tells

me we are having food, so that’s what I tell them we eat food. I also tell them that it is just a habit to eat flesh, that you were born into a ready-made world that passed down the flesh eating custom from generation to generation. If you are thinking about changing think about this, it’s really not the flesh that you like it’s the spices and herbs that make it taste the way it does. We use a lot of soy products with those same spices and the taste is unbelievable.

s to the health benefits wow, it is also unbelievable, as I said we did not do it for health reasons it was our own inner being that said it just was not right. Now back to the health benefits, when we were flesh eaters we would come down with colds

just like everyone else always something wrong. When we eliminated the unclean foods as I spoke of earlier I noticed that our colds and ailments were somewhat under control. Now since 1995 being truly ridden of all flesh eating, we have had no colds or ailments at all. I must admit that by not consuming flesh we are blessed and I thank the creator everyday for our health that we have.

n closing we would like to say, we are not trying to change anyone’s way of life. We believe that it will be presented to you if you just do a little research, some deep thinking and truly just be honest with yourself.
