hey,
I'm Becky, a 12 year old vegetarian girl from Devon! I'm making this section for other young veggie kids to post their veiws, get some tips and just have a look at what I've got to say!
I have been veggie all my life, because my parents have brought me up that way, but the thought of eating dead animals sickens me!
I go to a fairly large secondary school near our house and I only know three other veggie kids that go to my school! (1 of which is my sister!)
I hope that in 5 years time our world is more aware of vegetairian issues and many more people become veggie or vegan and save thousands more innocent lives!
If anybody ever teases me about being a vegetairian (which has happened in the past) I simply say "well at least I know I'm not eating a dead carcass" and that soon shuts them up! hee hee!
Remember to be proud that you are saving lives through your food! Together people like us can change the world for the better!
=D
here is a favourite poem of mine that i can really relate to.
Pride
I've got no bodies inside me
All of me is me,
I will not eat no body else
So i am what you see.
I do not plan to eat young sheep
I will not eat a hen,
I'm so proud of what i am
I must say once again.
I've got no bodies inside me
All of me is me,
I will not eat no body else
So i am what you see.
By Benjamin Zephaniah
a great poet
and inspiration
