The Vegetarian Conundrum

Today is the sixteenth anniversary of my decision to become a vegetarian, made at the tender age of twelve while reading Ingrid Newkirk's Save the Animals! at my cousin's graduation party. I like to commemorate my "vegiversary" (as I used to call it when I was a kid) by writing about my experiences with vegetarianism and the animal welfare movement; however, I've only managed once to actually post those reflections on LJ, thanks to the draconian Internet use policies at my former job. So to celebrate the first day of the former part, I am once again posting about vegetarianism to commemorate sixteen meat-free years.
