My trip to the abbatoir sometime ago almost turned me to a vegan ,as i watched them slaughter the animals and process the meat i felt some kind of guilt inside of me.But you know how these things work ,my faithfulness to the cause lasted only a few days(felt like months though).
I mean how on earth am i supposed to live without fried meat,suya,ponmo,shaki,ogufe……
Anyway, i continue to eat beef and will explain why i might never be a successful vegetarian.
No offense to vegans, this is how my mind analyzed the situation .
I decided to ask myself the following questions
1- why,why not?….i could not answer.
2-What can replace meat? Tofu….not happening.
3-Can plant protein adequately replace animal protein? well with supplements made from chemicals,these supplements cost even more than meat ….unsustainable practice!
4- Is it me or do vegans look underfed? i will never know ,my mind is biased already.
5-Can a vegetarian who eats meat in dreams be considered vegan?( At this point i had started collecting meat from strangers in my dreams)….i don’t think so!
It was then i realized i was not ready for the journey ,this may have something to do with my DNA, but again,i will never know……
Are you a vegan (past,present or intending)? kindly share your views here….
Hi,
My name is Olayemi
I am a food addict,
I love meat enough to remain an omnivore
This is my story
