Gaining 'V' Power

http://www.good.is/posts/5-behavior-and-culture-hacks-to-get-people-eating-less-meat

After reading this article I asked myself what it would take, and how far would we go to get people to eat less meat? I personally don't agree with using sex-appeal to gain attention to whatever the issue is, but if it keeps a couple thousand people from eating one less serving of meat a day, is it worth it? Marketing tactics for coca-cola or name brand clothes could be very useful for getting people to go with the "V" flow. Think about it, there is a majority, and this majority exists because of advertising and social media. Appearance, attitude, and  lifestyles are all heavily influenced by it and the media is here to stay.  Being a vegetarian, or vegan is slowly but surely becoming a lifestyle and if it's approached the same way we approach buying a pair of Nike's it is highly likely that meat consumption could hit the bottom of the social ladder. So, do you eat meat?

Chosen dreams

My best friend got married this weekend, and it made me think of the big picture. It's easy to get caught up in our routines but it's not easy to get out of them and realize what's important, our goals, our dreams, and who we want to be. I created this blog to encourage people, to spark curiosity, and ultimately be a part of this awareness movement of our time. I'm throwing this out into the internet to hopefully be heard by those of you who want to ask more questions but don't know how. I'm not offering any answers, I'm simply stating a piece of my mind to connect with people like you and me who don't just take what's in front of us, but rather question it and choose for ourselves what's best for us. We only live once, let's be the best we can be, the healthiest we can be, and hopefully change the world we live in. One by one. I chose to not eat land animals. I chose to ask questions at the meat market about my seafood. I chose to write this post today. What will you choose?

Let's Begin.

What are you eating? Animals? What are they eating?
What does your family eat?
Why are we not allowed on farm?
Why are 24 million pounds of antibiotics fed to livestock each year?
With prices rising on everything, why is the fast food industry not affect? How does it get cheaper?

Pick one and ask it to your local meat provider, or ask yourself.
Here is a link with the answer to just one. http://www.serconline.org/antibiotics/fact.html

-Just ask.
