[CM1145 #8] Things you find on the internet while researching.

We are currently writing a causal argument, I am writing mine on the effects of vegetarianism on a human body. Naturally, being a vegetarian for three years, it makes it easier for me to pick out the information that is true, and the information that is people not knowing what they are talking about.

One post I stumbled upon was a 28 year old male, who after eight years is deciding to give up vegetarianism. He wrote an essay on his reasoning. He implies it's because he's "bullied" in a way. (Honestly I think that's kind of weak,who cares if people are telling you they love meat? Get over it and eat some lettuce.) Anyway, I've reworded one of his statements (very slightly) and this is his opinion.

"Telling a vegetarian you would never be able to give up meat is like telling the only black person at a party that you have black friends."

I'd like to ask, how on Earth are those two even related. I can see where he's coming from, if he finds himself insecure over the way people see him, but honestly, people say they would never be able to give up meat all the time. I do not care, they love meat, I love veggies. Woohoo for love of different things.


Also, on a side note, I bought "Left Neglected" by Lisa Genova, and although I do not have the time, and I said I was waiting until after exams to read again, I've read a little past the first chapter. (Anyone who knows me that having the time to read a chapter in a book at my own leisure is about equivalent to lady bugs and butterflies killing us all.) In order to get this free time, I once again put off my research paper, which I was supposed to do over the Reading break, but thats another story, for another blog.
