TABLE OF CONTENTS
I became a vegetarian at the beginning of my freshman year of college. I've stuck to the diet for more than four years, opting for tofu instead of beef and broccoli instead of fish.
My vegetarian lifestyle came about after I researched the factory farming industry and decided that I didn't want to contribute to the cause. But, Kansas is not the easiest place to be vegetarian. People gawk at me for bringing my own veggie burgers to tailgates. I've been asked if all I can eat is salad. Sometimes people won't split a pizza with me if they can't get meat on it.
Although killing animals isn't my cup of tea, Caleb Regan's feature about hunting explains how the experience is a tradition in his family and to many other American families.
I may miss out on the bonding experience of hunting,but my sister and I have a nice family tradition of watching X-Men cartoons together. It works better with my vegetarian lifestyle.
