I know that eating vegan can seem daunting at first because everywhere
we look there are advertisements for Steak & Lobsters, Double Pattie with
Extra Cheese 100% Angus Beef Burgers, or Carne Asada Tacos, or some type of
food that contains meat. In the current
society we live in, it is impossible to escape the meat culture. It seems strange to many of us to have a meatless
meal. Popular media tells us that we may
suffer from a lack of protein and become weak and die! Okay, now that previous sentence is an exaggeration,
but you get my point. Somewhere in our consciousness
we are programmed to believe that we need to eat meat to survive. The key word that I am hitting on is “programmed.” If one can be “programmed” to eat meat, one
can be “programmed” not to eat meat.
What if we take control and decide to consciously eat. Consciously eating means to be aware, pay
attention to the foods that we put in our mouths and how these foods make us
feel.
