Curious about why people become vegetarians? Do you tease these kinds of people for being "weak"? Well why not take a look into the matter as to why people convert to diets of little to no meat. Some people claim to be animal lovers; however, they don't seem to realize that they're harming an animal every time they take a bite out of their chicken legs or hamburgers. Yes, meat can be tasty - and I am guilty of having eaten meat in the past in my youth; however, discovering the truth of where our meat comes from is just...horrifying.

Imagine being trapped into a tiny cage and being forcefed fattening food even when you're full. Or being trapped with millions of others in a tiny warehouse where feces collect and trampling occurs. And let's not forget being slaughtered while still being alive to witness your very own body being shredded to pieces. This is the reality of factory farms and a true dark secret of humanity and where we get our meat. Don't believe me? Then check out THE EARTHLINGS - a documentary that covers behind the scene footage of what happens to the animals that eventually become the meat products we find in our local grocery stores. A link to the video is to the right, and honestly - age filter or not, this is something everyone should watch (even kids!) as this is what happens to make a single burger or sausage. A bloodfest of mass murder which cost hundreds of innocent lives for the dinner served to use on a shining dinner plate. Sure, those chicken thighs look neatly packaged at Wal-Mart; however, the amount of bloody torture and murder that is applied to get all that meat around the world would BE A HECK LOT. Chickens, pigs, cows, sheep, goats, fish and many more are subject to these kinds of torture. Why should a pig - an animal that is said to be even more intelligent than a domesticated dog be subjected to a hell-ish life of being fattened up and then dying for the sake of feeding a few people some pork? It's just saddening and vomit-inducing to be honest.

Animals aren't stupid; in fact, they live lives very similarly as our own. Heck, human beings are indeed animals no matter how much some may dislike to believe it. In retrospect, we are also creatures made by God (you can choose to ignore this atheists as I won't force any kind of religion on you) as we all came to this planet to live. Animals are no different to humans and even have instincts that we humans have seemingly lost thanks to evolution. But what gives us the right to kill fellow creations of God for the sake of meals? It's just barbaric. If we truly are the intelligent creatures of this planet, we would put a stop to eating and distributing meat and help the planet to live in near peace. On my part, I am glad that I made the jump to becoming a vegan - and I certainly have cut back on a lot of meat products in the last year or so. A single person can make a difference and the more vegans the world has, the better it is. Humanity is hiding an extremely dark secret and it's time for this generation of humans to put an end to this. There are plenty of food that can be substituted for meat - and honestly...food is for survival.

So please...do the animals a favour and promote being a vegan. It will do the world a great favour in the future. About 60% of our agricultural sources GO INTO FEEDING THESE FARM ANIMALS JUST TO FATTEN THEM UP FOR OUR OWN DESIRE FOR MEAT. Isn't that sad? We're unknowingly willing to deplete our resources just for the sake of some burgers, lamb chops and whatnot. Pathetic...

Please think this through and help make a difference in the world we live in today, and for the future of humanity. Consider the dark secret we've hidden for years and help promote vegetarian rights today.
