A vegetarian is not a group of lunatics, fools, or psychopaths. They became vegetarians for different reasons.
For example, a vegetarian pony in our company, 90 years after, young, is a pious vegetarian.
"I'm a vegan, but not a vegetarian. I promote vegetarianism and influence the people around me, but I object to one-sided and emotional views." he said one day as we were chatting in the company cafeteria.
Like most people, he had grown up eating meat. Although he loved to eat meat, he had never killed an animal with his own hands. Therefore, whenever he faced a plate of chicken or pork or beef, he did not seriously think about the question: How did the meat come to him?
One day, a few years ago, he was influenced by his friends and took part in an event called the 21-day Health Challenge (a 21-day challenge to a healthy vegan diet launched by the American Association of Responsible Physicians), which gradually influenced him to stop eating meat and start eating vegetarian food.
Later on, he learned from the occasional website that there were farms that, in order to ensure that the animals were not sick, could at the same time accelerate their reproduction, growth, and growth, would grow fatter and fatter. These farms would inject the animals with a lot of antibiotics, a lot of hormones …
Especially when he found out about the even more terrifying secret behind it, his conviction to be a vegetarian grew even stronger.
The little roosters of the egg factory would be thrown into the meat grinder and ground to become feed for the mother of the chickens.
Cows are forced to stay pregnant, calves are taken away from their mothers at birth, they are kept in black boxes, they eat fodder that contains no nutrients and eventually become high quality "veal";
In the face of imminent slaughter and imminent death, under extreme fear, the animal's body will release corpse poison …
"Leonardo da Vinci once said, 'I don't want my body to be the tomb of other animals'. Da Vinci was also a vegetarian. I looked through a lot of information that I could find online and finally decided that I wanted to become a vegan, not eating eggs, milk, or honey, and trying not to buy anything that used animal products or hurt animals. " "No," he said.
Many celebrities, for example, are also beginning to move into the vegetarian category, he said.
Former President Clinton became a vegetarian a few years ago. He practised a vegetarian diet. In normal times, beans, beans, vegetables, fruit for a living. Drink only protein in the morning, do not drink milk, drink only fruit almond milk with protein powder, thus getting the day's protein in the morning. Pure vegetarianism altered his metabolism, reducing his body weight by 24 pounds and returning him to his high school weight!
Born in 1984, Mr. Zuckerberg is the founder of Facebook, a social networking site with a market capitalisation of about $25 billion and a quarter of the company's shares, so he has recently been regarded as "the world's youngest billionaire".

"Vegetarian food is the best change I've ever made." the pony said to me.
After starting a vegetarian diet, he said, he had never thought about going back to a non-vegetarian diet, because when he learned the facts and saw the chicken again, he would think that the piece of meat had once been a live chicken and that it was just a corpse. Then he would think of the animal's pain before it died. Of course, he would also think of the bacteria and toxins in the meat that came from the chicken's excrement and secretions, the environmental pollution caused by his excrement, and so on.
After the vegetarian diet, he rarely ate outside, and the number of times he cooked at home increased. His enthusiasm for cooking was greatly stimulated, and he was unable to control himself. The greatest pleasure is to explore various ingredients that have not been eaten before, to collect, test, and invent recipes. The pleasure of creation is endless, and it is also very fun to share with others every time you take a photo! When he went to a vegetarian restaurant, he would study the menu carefully, order a taste, and then go home and make it himself. For example, after he had eaten a brownie made from black beans and sweet potatoes and oats at a New York vegetarian sushi restaurant, Beyond Sushi, he went home and made a brownie made from black beans and sweet potatoes, which was even better than the one he had in the restaurant!
If he was unhappy, it might be that his parents and relatives didn't quite understand what he was doing. His parents did not object, but they were still unable to understand. The people of his generation cared a lot about whether they would be in line with the masses and avoid acting alone. There are more and more vegans in big cities these days, he said. Many people start to eat veggies for health or environmental reasons, and vegans will slowly become mainstream in the future.
In the past, vegetarianism was largely due to faith. For those who believe in the Buddha, the reason why they eat vegetarians is because they don't want to eat meat and don't want to kill people.
Today, vegetarianism has evolved into a healthy diet, creating a new kind of vegetarianism.
The increasing expectations of people for their own health make the concept of vegetarianism transcend the natural barriers such as geographical, ethnic, and religious barriers, and it is spreading around the world:
One in six Britons has become, or is considering becoming, vegetarians;
10 percent of America's vegetarian population can find vegetarian restaurants in any city;
Germany has become a big vegetarian country, with vegetarian chains all over the streets and alleys;
— — Taiwan has more than 2 million vegetarians...
Almost one in four people in Hong Kong has established a regular vegetarian habit. Of these, 12% eat vegetarian food once a week, 8% choose vegetarian food nearly half the time, compared with 3% of all vegetarians.
Vegetarian food, green peace movement, environmental protection, animal protection have become a new way of life in the world.
"Wear cloth, eat the essential elements" has also become the conduct of many people in the country.
There were dozens of vegetarian restaurants in Beijing, and there were many vegan dishes that looked similar to meat dishes. The names, tastes, and shapes of the dishes were all similar to meat dishes, except that the ingredients were not meat dishes. However, the taste and taste of this vegetable dish was equal to that of a meat dish. Therefore, the skills of a vegetarian chef were naturally extraordinary.
A acre of land could feed 22 potato eaters or 19 rice eaters, but only one beef eater or two mutton eaters, said the pony. When a vegetarian can save at least 3 sheep, 11 cows, 43 pigs, 1,100 chickens and millions of fish and shrimp. If a person chooses a vegetarian diet, he can immediately reduce his personal carbon emissions by 18%, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5 tons per year!
He had raised the level of vegetarian to the level of environmental protection and Earth protection!
