As i sit here with one shoe on and the other off, pondering on how people formulate their opinions on illusions, to be so judgemental.. Don't get me wrong i try not to make assumptions until i have the whole truth or in some cases the facts... My roommate informed me about a little discussion that another friend of ours had about vegan/vegetarians at lunch yesterday and i came up in this debate. she couldn't fathom the idea on why a 9 year old would want to be a vegetarian or a vegan, referring to me but what she doesn't know is what you see of me is not what you'll get, I'm a illusion, i say this because when a person meets me for the first time they believe that i am around 18 to 20 but usually people are considerate and hike up my age to 22.. so i guess our friend thinks I'm around the age of 17 and i thank her for that... i would answer the question of vegetarians/vegans simply, a lot of kids do not enjoy eating meat growing up or just in general, some children are grotesque by the thought and others are scarred when they understood the correlation of life and death or maybe their parents are vegans/vegetarians themselves. There are many reasons why children become Vegetarians/vegans at an early age but sadly i wasn't one of those children, Jenna... i was an adult when i made the decision and i am very happy with the choice i made.
