You can find meat everywhere today. You'll find heaps of it in the grocery stores, in almost every fast food joint you'll visit today, and it's even served all over the place in school cafeterias at lunch time. If you live in the "west", it is very hard to get away from meat, and if you're a vegetarian, many simply ask why you'd want to do such a thing. "Meat is such a tender delicacy that tastes delicious and that everyone eats, why on earth do some people choose to deny themselves it and eat only vegetarian food recipes?" they ask.
It turns out their reasons are many, but some of the common reasons I hear vegetarians giving for turning to vegetarian food recipes include the increasingly popular believe that the meat we eat today is less healthy for our body than it was in years gone by; the research that is showing our "mass production" approach to farming is taking a serious toll on the environment; and the increasing awareness we have of animals, of the emotions and experience they're living, and the connection we share with them.
Now, about how the meat is becoming less healthy to consume these days, that mostly has to do with the hormones we've been injecting in our farm animals for the past few decades, to get them to render more food and bring a greater return on our farming investment. Some of those chemicals we inject into these animals make their way into our body, because we are eating those animals and, once we've ended their lives, processed them, and the bought them at the super market, we cook them and we consume that chemically-laden meat.
Also, keeping the animals cooped up on smaller patches of land with little or no room to roam means they end up getting less exercise, which produces fatter, more unhealthy animals, which is less healthy for us because we are eating those animals. Many people also are of the opinion that that heavily negative fear emotions these animals experience as they meet their end at our hands in some truly horrible ways today, that flow through their veins and into the tissue of their muscles in their dying moments, results in these chemicals producing a lot of toxins that stay in the meat long after the animals has died and that taints the meat and results in something that is not very healthy to eat. And that's just another reason people are turning away from eating meat and towards the healthier vegetarian recipes.
But this is just scratching the surface and there are many, many more reasons people have for turning to vegetarian recipes these days, and I'm going to cover them in an upcoming post, so be sure to stay tuned if you're interested in learning more!
