So i decided today that i dont want to be 'vegetarian' anymore.
I've never really held to the true core beliefs of vegetarianism, i just started to see if i could do it, and kind of got stuck into the routine, and its not a routine im overly fond of.
My choice of a straight edge lifestyle was chosen by me because it gave me freedom of choice over what i did, free from peer-pressure or other peoples opinions and beliefs. Being a strict vegetarian is coming into conflict with this more and more.
Take today for example, i went to Sainsburys and bought a Muller toffee yogurt and just before i ate it, i realised i hadnt seen a Veggie V on the side. I checked, and i couldnt eat the yogurt cos it had gelatine in it apparantly. I hate the fact that my choice of food is dictated to me by what other organisations and people deem is acceptable.
So now i will eat what i want. If i choose not to eat meat, thats because i chose not to, and if i choose to eat animal products, that will also be my choice, made by me, at that time, and i will be comfortable with that choice.

Ignoring the gelatine is probably a good start.
