I enjoyed listening to Mona Chalabi’s
rant. Her thoughts are very well stated and it gives me a tweak of joy hearing
her step up on the podium.
I have been a vegetarian for the
last 45 years. I became a vegetarian when I was 13 years old. Not out of zealousness,
but because I was a ballet dancer and avoided anything with a high calorie
count. Once I stopped dancing, I continued being a vegetarian because the food
tasted good.
It has been interesting to see how
vegetarianism has acquired a political power over the last two decades. Some of
the focus is legitimate, but some of it is sensational and opportunistic. I
feel that I am the Switzerland of this political movement. Even though I have
been a vegetarian nearly my whole life, but it is not some political movement I
wish to join.
