In With the New I was trying to find something on the menu the menu that I can eat. I got the so called “Vegetarian Platter”.It involved the weirdest food I’ve ever eaten. I was extremely disappointed with what I got. I had a Burrito topped with mexican cheese stuffed with steamed broccoli and carrots, which had to be the most unappetizing dish I ever had. The carrots and broccoli weren’t seasoned and there weren’t any beans for protein.They made the assumption that most people make vegetarians only eat vegetables.

In with the new. New house and new baby. New school for Jahnaton. We are here gathered in fellowship celebrating momentous times. Look at their faces as they found out about the house.

    Together Against Meat Jonathan Safran Foer’s essay “Against Meat” provides the reader with information on why he became a vegetarian after years of “being a vegetarian” but eating meat once in a while; the essay starts off with his childhood memories at his grandmother’s house and her obsession with food due to the lack of it in World War II.

It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
