KEEP YOUR MEAT IN YOUR PANTS... I'M A VEGETARIAN

Did I eat meat today? Yes! If by "meat" you mean texturized vegetable protein. It's hard being a gay agnostic vegetarian. Well... the vegetarian thing... I kinda brought upon myself. But I don't understand why people have a problem with me not eating meat. In the course of 2 months I've had people tell me that it's pointless, that I'm malnourished, or "But... But you're Argentinean!" It's not like I go around telling people not to eat meat. I don't. Maybe I give off the impression that I avoid meat as if it was some disease, as they place it inside their mouths.... but that is not the same as yelling at people that they're going to die if they eat meat. Humans are omnivores, it is natural for a human to eat meat.

So then why am I a vegetarian? Cuz it's the gay thing to do?? Haha... the stereotype that all vegetarian guys are gay is one that I found out about fairly recently. I find it ridiculous really. I guess some people feel that REAL men eat MEAT, and STEAK, and BBQ RIBS, and fatass CHARBROILED BURGERS cuz that is MAN FOOD.  Someone needs to remind me why I should give a shit what society demands of us men, but I think it doesn't include liking dick either so I guess I'm immediately disqualified.

In Argentina there are more cows than people. And the people love to eat those cows. Which is why we don't have many vegetarians. People LOVE their steak. It's almost a sin for an Argentinean man to not eat meat. As a young child in Argentina, meat was all I ate... and candy.... and chocolate... which is why I constantly had to go to the dentist. Sure, we had pasta and potatoes, etc. but I hated vegetables.

Ten years later I find myself in America... eating mostly vegetables. I swear, America changes people!! But ANYWAY... My best friend revealed to me that she had wanted to be a vegetarian all her life. At that time I had done some research on the benefits of eating organic foods and was trying to convince my family to go organic (which only worked for like a couple weeks cuz everything organic is so DAMN expensive!). I told her I was gonna become a vegetarian. I even remember my first vegetarian meal! We were at the mall and we both ordered the vegetarian plate at this Mediterranean cuisine place. So I told her I was gonna be a vegetarian for a month. Just for fun. And I did it. Not a single bit of meat for a month.

When I began I knew it was only gonna be temporary. I had scheduled my EAT MEAT AGAIN DAY on my Blackberry and everything! And I don't know what about it made me continue. I did notice a big improvement in my health! I used to get the worst chest pain and now I don't! PRAISE VEG-ESUS! And I lost like 5 pounds at first but now my weight loss stopped, which is good cuz I am PAPER THIN. Lol, not really... don't worry people!

So the last day came and by then I just knew that I wanted to continue. Partly because it's a healthy lifestyle, partly so my friend has a fellow vegetarian buddy, and also because it's also good for the environment and non-human animals, among other things. There were a lot of influences. My Environmental Geology class showed me just how much damage humans do to the environment, and Archaeology showed me the importance of recognizing that humans were once just like any other animal, but evolved over millions of years into the monstruous wonderful beings we are today. By being a vegetarian I am standing up against global warming, and also showing my support for animal rights. Idk why but they say vegetarianism helps combat depression too.... and you know me! *nervous laugh*
So basically it's like killing 10 birds with one stone.... even though that is a HORRIBLE analogy.

I would like to thank everyone who reads this mad man's blog!
