Becoming a Vegetarian


I started school in December of 2012. During our first phase, we watched a few movies in class, like Food Inc. and Forks over Knives. I was appalled at most of the things I seen in these movies. However, not appalled enough to stop eating meat. My wife on the other hand viewed these movies from a different perspective then me. She has spent the majority of her life in animal control, humane society or assorted animal rescue foundations. These movies prompted her to go on Net-Flix and find others like them. After finding several documentaries about food and related subjects, she announced from that moment on, she had become a vegetarian. I was sure this was just a knee jerk reaction to the brutality that was viewed. Not taking it seriously, I went on in my usual manner of preparing meals. Much to my surprise she would not eat what I had made and insisted on making her own dishes. It has now been nine months and her resolve has not wavered in the slightest. For all intents and purposes, she has become a vegetarian.
