To eat or Not to eat

It can be an important decision, a life changing one at that! For a vegetarian 'thinking' about trying meat, it almost amounts to changing one's religion. Several factors influence this decision, the first being habit. For someone who always went the veggie way, consciously changing food choice to meat (though willingly) is an effort. Its such an effort to study meat items, determine where they must be purchased, stored and how they must be cooked. One can eat out alright, even then a bit of study is inevitable.

Another thing is the guilt of breaking the family habit. If you decide to disclose your decision of eating meat to your family, better be ready for some puritanical discourses that might make you tilt back to your old food choices.

Third is the current trend of people turning vegan. When the world is converting back to 'the healthy way', why do you want to go in the opposite direction ? Why give in to the temptation caused due to many of our 'world food' shows, when their hosts are certainly not the most healthy looking people on the planet ?

Points to ponder carefully, worth the effort though. After all, you are what you eat!
