no going back- I am definitely going vegetarian!
Advertisements [?]
I had sent away for many publications telling the story of cows, pigs and chickens and I had been doing pretty good with my decision to go vegetarian,for the most part. I had er- slipped a couple of times and had some turkey or chicken. It is so tough while you are out to eat properly.

But something happened on Saturday that affected me deeply. I work at the post office and some baby chicks were sent through the mail. The sweet little peep peep sound that they make is so darling. Our curiosity got the best of us and we lifted up the flap to take a look at them. Aw- bits of yellow fluff- about a dozen little babies!

But then the woman came in and we found out that they were cornish game hens. Someone asked her what was going to happen to them, to which she replied- "you don't want to know."

I don't know how anyone can raise such a sweet little critter with such intentions. That does it for me- no more meat- whatsoever.
