When We asked her if she has heard of Jangsem Monday before:
*No, not until today.
When We asked her if she would like to take the JM pledge/promise:
*Definitely, I'm a vegetarian myself.
Her Thoughts about the Jangsem Monday cause:
*Its a great initiative ! It doesn't completely annihilate animal slaughter but its a step atleast, a great start indeed.
Her Thoughts about the importance of going meatless:
*I believe we don't have the right to own one's life. It's really simple actually, just try to put/imagine ourselves in those millions of helpless animal's shoes who suffer daily without ventilation, are mutilated, suffocated, made to reproduce countless times without their will or the power to stop it and ask ourselves, did they choose that life? No, "we" did.
Vegetarian or vegan:
*I am a vegetarian. I turned two years ago. An online video had caught my attention and it was 49 mins long. I watched it entirely and to my horror, it really broke my heart watching how all these animals were being treated. Mother cows having their calves snatched away from them. Tears were literally pouring out. Piglets squealing and beaten to death. I couldn't stand the thought of consuming meat again after that.
the Benefits of going meatless:
*I've never felt better ! I've learnt to cook vegetables so many ways that I sometimes have 5 meals a day. Potatoes ! God I love potatoes. I have them at least six times a week.
*Firstly I believe there are lower risks of getting diseases such as heart diseases, arthritis, diabetes, acne and so on. There are endless health benefits to be honest. Having a control on our cholesterol levels, maintaining our diet in a healthy manner, even with our weight control and there's just so much more...
I even read it helps with keeping our skin young. Don't know how far that's true but sounds delightful to me. Hell even Miley Cyrus is a vegetarian and I love her skin ! Although I must agree at a certain level, I used to suffer a lot from acne but now it has definitely toned down and I don't even use any special products to control it. (I follow a lot of vegetarian pages online and their articles are just wonderful)
Her Favorite veggies, veggie dish and fruits:
*Any vegetables with cheese is heaven for me. I just throw in some veggies in the pan, fry them and add some cheese later on and that's more than enough to make me gobble them with two bowls of rice.
I loveeeee grapes, papaya, pineapple, peach, guavas and mangoes.
Her Favorite animals: Domestic or wild.
*Dogs, cats, donkeys, owls, dolphins and chimpanzees.
Her beliefs or your motto in life:
*Hmm.. I believe in all the good things, of course there'll always be things that are bad as well, but that is the way of life. We couldn't survive with just good in the world. How we face it is the real challenge. And I believe in change, although I am, a little bit conservative but yes I do believe in change for the good.
My motto in life is to live each day to the fullest, well not everyday everyday, sometimes I tend to oversleep but you know what I mean:p
Some days can get really hard at times but not giving up and pushing myself to the limit have been the best decisions I've made up until now.
As for my work, my objective is to make people laugh in some sort of way, or smile at the very least through the content I make. And when it does, it makes me happy, its just that feeling I can't describe. It's overwhelming and pushes me to do more.
And my dream includes living in a home where I can raise a cow, two hens, one dog, a cat or two and two pigs :D Something I intend to do in the future.
Her message to everyone on going meatless:
*Well, I wouldn't praise you that's for sure. Just because we're vegetarian we shouldn't be proud about it cause' there really is nothing to be proud about. All these animals deserve to live as much as we do. We have no right whatsoever to have them on our plates despite what we pay. We are as much responsible for the slaughter of these helpless animals as the people who slaughter them.
We demand, thus they slaughter, the only difference is we don't want to get blood on our hands.
The only regret I have is not having to realize this sooner and turned meatless. Over the past two years I'd say I have avoided consuming atleast 300 hens, 15 cows, 4 pigs (rough calculation) given that I used to have two mcspicy chicken every time I visited McDonalds/KFC before this:p
Again I don't intend to impose my thoughts and beliefs on you. Whether you go meatless or not, it's solely up to you, it's YOUR CHOICE. You have to make that on your own rather than people telling you what to do. I hate that as well. But please, please don't say/write "you love animals" and then have another one on your plate.
Thank you:)
