My Reasons for Becoming A Vegetarian

I decided to start this blog to document my journey to becoming a Vegetarian. I wanted to share my thoughts, recipes and everyday journey to becoming what I believe to be a healthier way of life. My reasons for wanting to become a Vegetarian are simple: to lower my chances of cancer, diabetes & other illnesses, to become a healthier me, and to save animals from slaughter for my consumption.
I am not saying I am an expert on the subject, but I want to research and share views and opinions on Vegetarianism.I attended DC VegFest Saturday and learned and tried Vegetarian dishes. I also learned of cruelty to animals that I never knew existed.
I am not a Vegetarian just yet. I stopped eating beef and pork over 17 years ago. It was and is the only New Years Resolution I've ever stuck with, and I am proud of it! I stopped eating chicken and turkey earlier this year. Now I am considered a pescetarian http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pescetarianism. In a nutshell I still eat seafood and some products that contain eggs and dairy.
I hope you will follow me on my journey to giving up fish and products containing eggs and dairy. I also hope that you will share your thoughts on the subject and maybe a few recipes too.
