Like many highly influenced by documentaries, I decided to change my consumption of meats that are massed produced.

Their expression was similar to my friends below. They were less than supportive and had their doubts about how long I would stay a vegetarian, even though they watched the documentary with me and agreed that the quality of meat and the method in which it is mass produced is extremely unhealthy. After a couple of days they went back to their normal diets.

I couldn't just go back.

Mind you, I love meat.

The taste is delicious and consuming it less is disheartening to me.

I watched the movie, What The Health, click here for more information about it.

While you’re reading up about that make sure you check out, Debunking What the Health, the buzzy new documentary that wants you to be vegan.

I always knew pigs and chickens were pumped with hormones to grow quicker, however, I didn’t realize to what degree.

Without going into too much detail, I cannot eat meat at restaurants or supermarkets without thinking about the nastiness that is in it.

However, when we do go to local farmers to buy chickens, we purchase other meats too that are not forced to grow unnaturally. I think there is a word for it, farm grown or pastured raised.

I felt guilty about the quality of meat I consumed. So I decided to continue with my vegetarian experiment. In case you haven’t seen the show, I do not recommend you watch it while eating.

It wasn't challenging to find vegetarian restaurants.

I didn't miss meat. It has been surprisingly a very easy change of diet. Most places offer vegan or vegetarian options.

It has been a little over three months now of eating mostly plant based foods.

Well, if I am being honest, the other day I ate chicken and lamb. I also went to a vegetarian restaurant and ate a grass fed bison burger with little to no regret. However, I truly enjoy how I feel since starting this new plant-based diet.

My steemit friends have been dropping lots of knowledge on me too. My favorite so far is a post from the amazing @Choogirl - So you want to go plant based?. She also sent me information about the addictiveness of dairy products like cheese.

I love cheese too much to read it.

Surprisingly enough, I do see myself eventually becoming vegan. I just have to break up with cheese. We have had a long, delicious relationship. I also enjoy, say, milk with my coffee. That will be tough to let go of too. Maybe the vegan life isn’t for me. Maybe I’ll be a selective vegan. Is that a thing?

My parents aren’t huge fans of these limitations and stopped eating meat for about a day after watching the show. However, I find it a fun adventure to have a vegetarian option. Many of you on here are huge supporters and I love reading about your recipes and journeys.

Have you seen this show? Has another documentary changed your life? What are your thoughts on eating meat?
