After being a vegetarian for two and a half years, I decided to call it quits on the account that I knew how difficult it would be to stay a vegetarian while in college. I ate meat for the first month and a half and thought it was delicious, but soon that craving went away. I started to feel sick from the meat, and I just didn’t want to eat anymore. So I decided I would give being a vegetarian another shot. This time it has been a lot harder.
When I first became a vegetarian I was living at home and could rely on my mom to buy the food and cook for me. Now however, I am living in a dorm on the other side of the country, which makes everything ten times harder. The dorm lacks storage to keep vegetarian food, plus I cannot cook to save my life.
That leaves me with very few options. I don’t want to eat meat, and I have been able to avoid red meat, but occasionally I will indulge in a turkey sandwich just because I don’t really have any other way of getting a sufficient amount of protein.
I know that I just need to suck it up and figure out a way to survive as a vegetarian. I don’t want to go back to eating meat for both moral and logical reasons. I don’t believe it’s right to eat animals, and I also know that it can be healthier to not eat a lot of meat.
