I Am a Vegetarian
I am a vegetarian and every time I see my mom waste food, it makes me want to stop being a vegetarian and eat the food so I know at least the animal didn't die just to be cooked and thrown away.
I started being a vegetarian just because I wanted a healthier diet not because I cared about the animals or anything. But one day, my mom made a huge pot of spaghetti with about 2lbs of ground beef (because she wanted something she would eat for a while). So she ate it 3 days in a row. Then she started buying fast food & bringing it home, while the spaghetti just sat in the fridge. Day after day, she hasn't touched the spaghetti. After 12 days of sitting in the fridge, she threw it out. I wanted to scream! She fries fish, makes sloppy joes, tacos....and meal after meal it goes to waste. It's like she's cooking for a whole family when its only the 2 of us who live here. I've tried talking to her but nothing gets through. I just makes me feel so sad!
