Look at these two women! Do you know what they are doing? Not only are they caring about their own bodies and enjoying a healthy life, but they are also trying to persuade others to follow their example. They are not forcing anyone into something they don’t want, they are just suggesting a different lifestyle that is possible and that makes you feel better in some way. Sometimes, we don’t pay attention to what we do, and we just act in a certain way because society has imposed that to us or because the others do the same, and we don’t stop to think that maybe we are wrong, or that we could do something different. The thing is that it takes just a decision and a little effort, for those who love eating meat, to save the life of beings that, although they can not think, they surely feel. They feel pain, they feel fear, and they perceive that they are going to be killed, just as we would in that situation. If you cannot see that in the same way than me, at least consider the harmful effects that eating meat can have on your body, such as cancer (because of the toxins that are created in our body as a result of the ingestion of meat), cardiovascular disorders including heart attacks (due to the high quantity of fat in the arteries), cholesterol, etc. And, if these reasons are not enough to convince you to give vegetarianism a try, just think that we aren’t superior to animals, we’re just the same. Or is it that we have the right to kill them just because they are irrational? Imagine (although it’s unreal) if some day a race superior to us comes to the world, and tries to eat us because we’re inferior….would you accept it? I wouldn`t!!!
This photograph really called my attention because, even though I always try to talk about vegetarianism and its advantages with my friends and family, I never thought of doing it in such a public and broad way. Anyway, there must be other ways of divulging it rather than exposing the body. Well, what matters is the intention, doesn’t it?
"I think the changes and purifying effects that a vegetarian diet has on a human being's disposition are quite beneficial to mankind. Therefore, it is both auspicious and peaceful for people to choose vegetarianism.” Albert Einstein
Just think about it! Let’s open our mind to something different!
