Vegetarian
I had the chance to meet with Sirena, a new vegetarian. She started this journey is December of 2012 and has stuck with it ever since.
Me: What inspired you to become a vegetarian?
Sirena: I saw a video on how animals are treated on farms and I didn't like it.
Me: Was it a also health decision or only because of the animals?
Sirena: Both, mainly animal cruelty.
Me: What does your diet mainly consist of?
Sirena: Mainly vegetables and I get my protein from nuts. I drink soy milk instead of regular milk.
Me: Have you noticed any changes in your body since you made the change?
Sirena: I have more endurance when it comes to working out. I can stay awake longer--more energy.
Me: Are there any misconceptions about vegetarians that you would like to clear?
Sirena: A lot of people say it's hard to get enough protein but iron is harder to obtain as a vegetarian.
