I'm a vegetarian because I can't process or digest red meat. I've been this way since I was a child, so I've only ever known a fully vegetarian diet. I'm very healthy, I'm not overweight and I've always got plenty of energy, so it can't be bad for me.
Besides, there are so many great choices of foods to eat between vegetables, salads, fruits, pasta, rice, tofu and plenty of other options tha... |

I also keep a bucket in the shower to catch the water that is wasted when you heat up the hot water. It takes ar... |

I forgot to add that I eat a lot of salads filled with everything I love the most. Salads are a fun, easy way to make lunch! |
