I have never eaten a hamburger!!

Yes, the title is true. I have never eaten a hamburger in my entire life! I was not born a vegetarian ha! I used to eat meat all the time, but i am a person that eats for the texture of the food and the texture of hamburgers were never my thing. In seventh grade my best friend showed me a pamplet on animal cruelty. From that day on, i never ate meat again. It has been six years and im still goin strong. I am an animal lover like you would not believe! I cannot even watch those movies about dog heroes because something always happens to the dog! I live in a dorm currently, and i have two turtles named tiki and roo and one fish named sushi. I always have to have animals around me!At my home i have two dogs named toughie and jasmine and three more turtles! They give a kind of unconditional love and loyalty thats so rare in this world. Therefore, i live everyday without meat because of my love for animals. I have read books and looked at all the websites, and as much as it kills me i feel like i need to be informed of whats going on with animals. I wish the world would be more informed on these issues, but no one wants to know the terrible things that go on. If you are interested in a really good little chapter to read about animal cruelty there is a book called "Skinny Bitch". Its a book about going vegan which i am not, but theres a chapter that is titled " You are what you eat" and its one of the saddest things i have ever read about factory farming. If you want to be informed check it out! Its not a fun read but its good information to know. Well theres a little background on me so im hoping to write in this blog everytime i hear of something else dealing with this issue, so if your interested keep checkin it out!!
