Why I decided to become a Vegetarian

I few months ago, out of the blue I got sick. I have some trouble moving around, my joints, etc. Being taking out of school and home-tutored, I decided that I would spend a lot of time watching my favorite TV show, "Bones" with my mother. Well, one night I was looking at some "Bones" sites, and was reading some interviews with Emily Deschanel, who plays Dr. Temperance Brennan on the show. She talked about the benefits of becoming a vegetarian, so she inspired me to do some research. After watching some animal cruelty videos, looking at the health and environmental benefits, I made my decision: it would be better for myself, for the environment, and of course, the poor animals, if I took on a Vegetarian lifestyle. So here I am, at the beginning, and so far, I am happy with the decesion. I feel so much better about the food I'm eating. It leaves me with a light, energized feeling, rather then a heavy, sleepy feeling. I hope to chronicle my food choices, and journey as I take this step. If anyone else has stories that they would like to share, please let me know!
