every day, no meat
it’s been this way 40 years
so much more to eat
every day we meet
for breakfast, lunch and dinner
every day no meat
a challenge to others’ fears
young and old alike
it’s been this way 40 years
a life still complete
without the death and killing
so much more to eat

For people who have access to clean, unsprayed vegetables, a vegetarian or even vegan diet is still good. If they can also save money…they must be raising their own veg, but cheers for that!

When I became vegetarian at aged 14 I face much resistance. Not from friends and family but from strangers. I couldn’t understand what business it was of theirs about a choice I had made that only effects me! At that point, I was stubborn.
After 40+ years, it’s not even something that I think about anymore.
