Cheeseburger minus the burger

I have been a vegetarian for 3 years now. I never really liked meat or fish because I felt guilty eating it. I finally decided to become a vegetarian when at a restaurant the guy next to me cut into a steak and blood filled his plate. He put the fork of bloodied meat into his mouth and I never touched meat again.

My friends asked how would I eat out, my mother asked how I would get my protein and my littler sister wanted to know if I would be eating tofurkey for thanksgiving.

I did research and found some astounding facts that confirmed my decision. Like the fact that 7 billion animals die every year because of human consumption.

Why eat animals when there are so many other options available to me that are still nutritious and taste good?

I was sold. I then began the second part of my journey, finding ways accommodate my new lifestyle to my life. It was much easier then I thought. I found that I could get protein from nuts, beans, boca burgers and tofu.

I found that any place I went to eat always had one vegetarian option. I also found that I found I prefer boca cheeseburgers to real ones.

After 3 weeks I didn't even give being a vegetarian a thought. I was proud of my decision.
