I know, I know…spinach and sprouts get recalled too. However, the most recent recall of E. coli contaminated beef has made me even more grateful to be vegetarian. Check out this video (and try not to vomit, please):

It sure sucks for all the cows who were meatified, then recalled. What a meaningful life.

Excellent point from the non-vegetarian! It’s horrifying, actually. Animals that are bred for slaughter face a short life of abuse and unsanitary living conditions. I’ll save that for another post though…

I was surprised Trader Joe’s was in the list of stores that has recalled meat. After working in Genaurdis and seeing that the meat was basically in giant trash cans until it was packaged up was kind of gross, but it’s SOOOOO GOOOODDDDDDDD.
If you go to an actual butcher and get like, actual real cuts of meat, mouthwateringly delicious

Ugh, just the thought of raw meat in trash cans is nauseating. You make a good point about meat quality, though. Buying meat from a butcher is probably the healthiest way to eat it. Often, the ground meat you see at the grocery store is dyed red to mask the fact that it’s already half-rotten.
I have also heard that, at any given time, omnivorous humans have at least 5 lbs. of undigested meat in their digestive systems because they are simply not equipped to process it as quickly as carnivores. GROSS.

That is shocking, disgusting, and appalling (and mildly revolting). Next time I see red meat I’ll be suspicious of its rubicundity.

I thought about being vegatarian for so many reasons. Do you think is it really hard to start or just a matter of determination?

Definitely just a matter of determination. It’s much more convenient to eat meat, but there are major benefits to being vegetarian too. You have to do it in a healthy way, though, making sure you get enough iron and protein. Those are the main things you lose when you don’t eat meat, but they can both be found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and beans. Good luck!
