I've been making an effort to eat less meat lately. It all started when I met many vegetarians during my couchsurfing experience this summer in Europe. Their arguments about killing animals being unethical and all that didn't really convinced me but what convinced me was the fact that they cooked some delicious meals without meat. It made me realize that by focusing so much on meat, I'm actually missing out on some great food. I just figured I didn't like beans when I was a kid and never bothered to try again. Little did I know that the problem was that my mom's cooking involves practically no spices.

I'm also concerned about the ecological aspect of it all. The amount of meat I ate was certainly not too good for the planet and cutting my meat consumption will make me feel better personally. Cause they say every little thing counts... and I'm naive enough to believe it.

Also, meat is pretty expensive...

So i've got plenty of reasons to become vegetarian (not really planning to but cutting down on meat is the goal) but none of those reasons involve cute cows.
