This is STEP 2. If you are watching this, i assume you've already seen the first vid i posted before this,- entitled 'Chew on this'.

This has got to be one of the most striking documented videos i have ever seen. It's only a backdoor snapshot about the gruesome meat industry. Everyone should be aware that there are more terrible implications and repercussions of every meat product we consume. THIS is WHY many years ago, i decided to just stop eating meat. I just STOPPED. I shocked all my friends and my family, but i kept on because this cause meant the world to me. No matter how shocked my system initially was - being raised an omnivore, even though how difficult i knew it would be and still is - to find something to eat here in restos and in gatherings --especially in this country that rests on meat as the country's best dishes, no matter how hard it is to just let go of meat completely, no matter how many people view my beliefs as fanatical-- which frankly i couldn't give a rat's ass about. ;p

I used to be one of the biggest steak and bacon eaters you'd ever meet... but that was before. Before i knew what it really meant each time i ordered a 'crispy pata' or a 'liempo' dish, bit into a medium rare steak, or a crispy strip of honey cured bacon-- that what that animal went through is not reason enough for me to enjoy them as food. It got easier to go without meat the more i thought about WHERE it came from.

I won't be a hypocrite and say i don't miss meat and the meals i grew up with... i never denied it. But there came a time in my life when i realized that being an animal lover and environmentalist just doesn't cut it anymore, I had to proclaim it and LIVE MY CONVICTIONS as well. I had been selfish, calloused and self-indulgent. I never bothered to think about the way these animals reached my plate because i knew deep down that it was unjust and i chose the easier, less complicated path-- to turn a blind eye towards that and continue reaping the rewards of a carnivore diet-- which included a fluctuating waist line and a higher risk of heart disease. But years ago, this all stopped, i chose to make a stand, a REAL difference.

I will not eat meat because i TRULY love animals. I will not eat meat because animals have been a huge part of my life. I will not eat meat because i have cared for animals, shared my life with them and fought for their rights since i was a child. I will not eat meat because i am an environmentalist-- something you get to understand fully only by understanding all the facts.

There is a MYRIAD of food options out there for vegans and vegetarians alike, you just need to do your research, find out where the major food suppliers are located and FIND THEM, and then weed out your current diet. It's really not a bother, you just need to give a crap for it to be important enough for you to do.

I am imparting this video with you guys because this is part of my convictions. THIS IS ME because it means so much to me.

May it touch many, a few or maybe even none-- but just in sharing this i already feel i have already done something valuable, which is that i have shared the truth with you all. Ignorance and denial is no excuse. ;p

Though some of you may not agree with me or refuse to accept this reality, each time we sit down to eat we have a choice. And that choice is roughly,- either to patronize an industry that murders innocent animals or not.

PLEASE REMEMBER, NO ANIMAL DESERVES TO DIE TO PLEASE OUR TASTEBUDS. And someday, I hope you guys will one day see it that way too. :) It's easy really, for starters, just have a heart. :)
