Hiii again! Today Emma and I had to deal with a really huge problem; there was no vegetarian food!!! Probably you all know by now that both Emma and I are vegetarians, so can you understand how upset we got?!
However we had a nice morning in the city and after a fast brunch we took a walk along the coast. It was really beautiful and we saw many birds. But I’ll come to the problem. It was pretty late as we finally reached a small restaurant there we ate lunch. We looked at the menu but it seemed like every dish included some kind of meat. So we asked a waitress if there was any chance that we could get a meal without meat and she said of course, that would be fine. But afterwards I have my doubts that she understood what we meant. Because as we got our food there were some big brown-grey things on our plates that remembered quite a lot of meat. Emma and I just looked at each other, should we complain? As the waitress came past our table again we asked her to come back with her chef. We talked kindly with the chef and explained why we didn’t want to eat meat, but he just looked at us like we were some crazy aliens, apparently he couldn’t understand why humans don’t eat meat!?

Could you understand that or should I explain it for you too? Right now I’m in such a mod that I just have to write it all of me, so if you want or not, I’ll explain…
We can begin with some basic biologi; humans are animals!!! And because we are animals just like the pigs, cows and chickens I think we should be able to think us into their situation. Imagine a life in captivity, in a big hall, packed together with thousand of other individuals. You never see the sunlight, the green grass or the blue sky. And just to make it even better, after just a few months in this life you’ll get killed and some human are going to eat you! Honestly I thought we humans had more sympathy for other living creatures than this…

And if we ignore the fact that eating meat, produced at above described way, is horrible against the animals it’s also unhealthy to eat so much meat for humans. Today humans eat much more meat than the amount of protein we need, that can result in diseases such as cancer and heart diseases. The meat industry is also the biggest reason for today’s problems with antibiotic resistant bacteria. Because in the meat production you want to have healthy animals, even if that means that you have to cram antibiotics into them. And when the bacteria becomes resistant to antibiotics even the easiest inflammations can’t be cured anymore, which means that you once again can die from a normal pneumonia…
Okay, right now Emma’s trying to stop me before I write a whole essay about the subject, which I already have done a few times in school, haha, so I’ll stop here. You got the point I hope… ;) Sooo that was the main event of this day. Oh, I nearly forgot… It all ended with that Emma and I ate the few vegetables we got to the meat and then left the restaurant and an irritated chef… //AK
