Many of you may not know this, but I’m a vegetarian! I have been since February of 2007, and I’ve never regretted it. (It’s not as hard as you might think!) I was thinking I should blog about it. So, here’s my tongue-in-cheek list of compelling reasons for “going veggie.” And, please know that while this is my personal decision, I don’t love you carnivores any less.
Makes that bacon a little harder to eat, doesn't it? 
1. It might be the only thing you’ll ever have in common with Paul McCartney, Vanessa Williams, Elle MacPherson, Carrie Underwood, and Noah Wylie.
2. You find another vegetarian at a party? Instant friend!
3. You can drive past a truck filled with animals and feel no personal guilt.
4. Clearer skin, less cellulite, better health, weight loss, longer life… but who really cares about all of that?
5. Now you can wear the t-shirt you’ve always wanted that says, “I was a vegetarian before it was cool.” (that might just be me)
6. Swine flu, e.Coli, and salmonella no longer seem so scary.
7. Yes, God did say we could eat meat, but they killed animals humanely back then.
8. You can save moolah by not eating things that moo.
9. Protein is overrated. (More info)
10. People feed you more at cookouts! You know.. to make up for all of the nutrients you must be missing by skipping on the hamburger.
11. You’ll discover a host of new ways to confuse and astound your waiter at dinner.
12. You can come up with your own clever remarks to the constant question, “So , then, what do you EAT?”
13. You always wanted to be “different.”
14. The looks on your friends and families faces when you break the news are PRICELESS.
15. You eat, then you poop. Not much waiting.
