        What I found important in this is how people look at eating animals. There's many examples that comes down to the topic. For example, it's like the turkeys we eat during thanksgiving vs a dog.Yes, I am against eating dogs. Some people are even against eating turkeys but here in the United States we see that it makes a difference with dogs. If people can eat turkeys, why can't they eat dogs, same difference right? 

     

      In the video I just watched, there was an out numbered of 76 million people that had got food poisoning. It really caught my attention because it questions what I eat. I'm not a vegetarian and I eat meat. It questions me to the types of food I'm eating and what it is really made from. This shows how food like this can be dangerous and may even change your point of view on how you see these two types. 

       

         An important fact that had caught my  attention is the way people understand this. Many people thinks it is weird to be a " vegetarian " because many people you know isn't a vegetarian. Mostly everyone around you like meat. Everyone has their own perspective on this, as well as you do to being a vegetarian. People shouldn't judge by the way you see stuff. If this world was going to be about everyone being alike and seeing everything in the same way, there wouldn't be a one of a kind. There wouldn't be debates about stuff like this. 

My life : This relates to my life because of the way I see things differently to others. I now get how people can actually debate about this topic in various ways. For example, one type of person ( vegetarian ) see things differently then ( meat eaters ). I would never in my life eat a dog. As I was small I was surrounded by dogs, which are pets I still own today. I wouldn't be thrilled if one day we just cooked up one of my pets for dinner. I see the cows in a different way because they aren't animals that people really take care of vs dogs. Many of us eat all the other animals possibly named. If we can eat cows, pigs, fish and etc .. then people should be able to eat dogs as well. Yes, even though I'm against this I strongly think it should go both ways not just one way. Reading part of the book, and watching this video it didn't change my view of becoming a vegetarian. What it really did was opened my eyes more about the two types.
