Vegetarian becomes one of the hot
topics which always interesting to be discussed nowadays, where having a
healthy lifestyle is as harder as surviving in the stone age. Although now we
can choose and eat whatever we want, it doesn’t mean we can get the healthy
one very easily. But what is the relationship between vegetarian and healthy
lifestyle? back to where it began, according to Wikipedia “Vegetarian is the
practice of abstaining from the consumption of meat (red meat, poultry, seafood
and the flesh of any other animal) and may also include abstention from
by-product of animal slaughter.” So with being vegetarian we avoided whatever
it shapes, food that produced by meat of animals. Meat or animal flesh as facts
showed us is one of the causes of deadly diseases in our body system. Today
vegetarian is not as a diet only but also a lifestyle. Even some extremist made
vegetarian as their belief. As for myself, being vegetarian for almost one year
and a half is caused by these things below.
When people ask me why I becomes
vegetarian, I always says that I am pity for the animals. How so? It has a story actually. About four years ago I always available at home in the week off
of school. Including the sacrifice's (Kurban) day. When other kids always see the
Kurban’s lambs being slaughter I have no interest in it before. But because of
something ridiculous, a bet, I finally insist myself to see the lambs
slaughter. After I saw it, not like other kids who seems enjoying every part of
it. I felt like throwing up myself. See how the lambs in the agony made me want
to vomit. It felt like seeing human itself being slaughter. After that I
promised to myself I will never wanted to see anything like that ever again. So
that is the main reason why I stop eating meat and become vegetarian. I felt
like it is wrong to eat something that had a soul like ours. Everytime I saw
meat, weather it was fresh meat or after being cooked I always seeing how
terrifying the lambs being slaughter was. Imagine if the meat is produce by
slaughtering human being and also eating by human? What a terrifying thought.
Becoming a vegetarian is not a must
to do thing, but it is a choice. Weather you want a healthy life or not. It is
up to you and I choose to be healthy one. Even in Islam there is no forbid to
eat meat except the filth (najis) one, but if we look from the health eyes,
with not eating meat we avoided so many deadly diseases, such as Heart, Liver
etc. Meat is one of the reason why the disease itself appear and attack us.
Moreover my family have such condition, so I then become really sure about
avoided this thing. Beside avoided such diseases, being vegetarian also helping
out in diet programs. With being vegetarian we can avoid greases that makes
obesity. And even if we don’t want to do a deadly diet, having a fit body is
not impossible anymore. Vegetarian foods contain low fat, so that makes our
body slim and healthy.
Another reason why I being vegetarian
is because I want to be thrifty. I have been lived as a student abroad for at
least four years. It makes my life costs double than other students. At
first I planned to avoid buying expensive food like meat, in order to thrift
the cost Itself. In one week I bought vegetables food almost everyday and just
buying meat sometimes only. But this things then become my daily eating life. I
become comfortable with just eating vegetables and then finally no meat at all.
With only bought vegetarian foods which is cheaper than meat I can decrease my
life cost and being thrift. And if I still had money after my life cost, I can
use it for other important things.
All in all being vegetarian is not
about trend or lifestyle only, but it is about something that worth to
fight for. We can stop animal cruelty and has benefit with it. We can avoided
such deadly diseases and had a healthy lifestyle too. Animals are just like us, they have soul, they can
feel and they deserve to be treated equally. It is our job as the most perfect
living things to protect others and in this case, animals. So from now on let’s
get healthy in the most human ways. Let’s become vegetarian.
