Christi Fields is the co-founder of this Meatless Monday group on Facebook. In personal correspondence, she sent me this (reprinted with her permission). I thought it might prove inspirational for others:
My personal decision for meatlessness started out from one idea - to live a life of love in every way possible. I saw refraining from meat as a simple choice I could make in which no creature was caused pain by my actions. (A choice for free-range local eggs also followed.) As I explored other ideas and reasoning for vegetarianism, information relating to water and land conservation, as well as health implications followed. It's great to hear the reasoning of others too as we all try to figure out what's important and what our place is in the world.
Wow, I just read that again after receiving it a few weeks ago. Inspiring, isn't it?
