[Mommy Of One]

My spanish teacher was a meat lover and eater, she is 27 years old and thus she has eaten meat for 27 years of her life. She shared a story with us about how and why she became a vegetarian and alot of other people in my class have been turning over to veggies now because of her story. Well, she is actually Italian and she has many family members in Italy. But since many members in her family are also American, they celebrate Thanksgiving. So she went to Italy as her family all gathered there to celebrate and in Italy, they have seperate shops for seperate kind of things you need, they do not have grocery stores with different sorts of food in one store. (Example, if you wanted Vegetables you have to go to a vegetable store) Anyhow, my teacher and her sister went to the meat store and at the store they had to pick out a turkey. The man who worked there said he would be right back, my teacher and her sister heard a gun shot and the man returned with the turkey, not alive obviously, and placed the turkey in a box. I am not going into it, but she went into great detail about how she had to pluck him, cut him open, and take out the insides. Well, ever since that day, she hadn't eaten one bit of meat. That night she didn't even eat the turkey she had made. I just thought this story would be good for anyone having difficulty getting inspired.
