We've all thought about it.

I know I'm not the only one who tried to go vegetarian or at least thought about it. We all care about our bodies and for a fact it's not a bad idea to try a healthy vegetarian diet, but be careful; eat small portions of greens and lower your intake on meat, slowly transition into a vegetarian diet to not shock your body. 
I have a friend, a vegetarian, who has my utmost respect because I understand what a commitment it is to deny the consumption of meat. I have tried but I definitely can't escape this community of deep fried everything, seasoning, and meat overload. 
Speaking about changing a diet, I want to emphasize the rise in obesity, in addition to genetically modified food in our food industry. Genetically modified food is enhancing a product to defend itself from insects, produce certain nutrition or mass produce with precise accuracy due to the help of the latest molecular biological equipment. An example of a genetically modified crop is soy. Recent test with a 3rd generation genetically modified rat was fed this modified soy and lost the ability to produce offspring and disgustingly grew hair follicles inside of its mouth. My opinion is if we truly care for our health, we need to emphasize what we consume, we need to read labeling, become agricultural eaters (those who know the culture and rudiments of what they consume) and care for our bodies and the environment. I dislike genetically modified foods but at the same time, it is expensive to get away from it. There is ambiguity within the research of genetically modified foods acute and chronic impacts on our body but this research isn't worth the effort with our health at its cost.

  1. I believe that if i wanted to become a vegetarian i wouldn't be able to handle it because meat is just so good. Sometimes people need that piece of meat to get them full or just to satisfy your cravings. But i do completely respect people are vegetarians because they have to just eat greens.
