go green

I've never really been a meat-eater. I used to eat meat, just because all of my family do that and I usually was too lazy to cook something vegetarian for myself. When I've already served something composed only of vegetables it was commented 'Ok, the starter was good, but where is the DINNER?'. It was the dinner… Never mind. So recently when I spent two months helping to run a restaurant I started to pay attention to what am I eating, ordering or buying. It was much easier because I was in Warsaw, not in my town where we virtually have only Tesco to do the shopping. Every Saturday next to my house took place an eco market called Le Targ. I have read about it in a newspaper, and even got to check the place where this market is, but obviously I forgot. And one morning- surprise! I can see Le Targ from my balcony. The food was orgasmic! Okay, let's face it- much more expensive than in a grocery, but it was really tasty and scented. But it's not the point. The point is that having all this fresh eco-friendly fruits, vegetables, cheeses and even cakes I totally stopped to eat meat. It wasn't intended. I kinda forgot. I was feeling so good that I thought 'Why not to became a vegetarian?' The decision wasn't tough, but the book I read meanwhile made it easier for sure. The polish title 'Zjadanie zwierząt' says it all. I spent half a night reading it and crying my heart out. I have always been tender-hearted for animals and this book destroyed me. I coax it to everyone right now. Let's stop being so selfish, guys! I know that your grandmas surely told you that someone who doesn't eat meat won't be high, wise, healthy and will die for leukaemia but don't worry - no more! Soya cutlets are made to be eaten as well. It just matters of your habits !
