I used to be one of those people that would mock vegetarians and vegans making jokes about bacon being good. All that started to change the first time I went to a slaughterhouse and got a job processing animals. The conditions were absolutely disgusting. It started I stopped eating pork completely than cut back everything else to where I'm down to eating meat twice a week cause of my dad. But that's changing cause he's going to go to an all vegetarian diet at the behest of his doctor.
