Health (by Myllisen Serrano)

Nowadays there's more and more people worrying about their diet. Not only because of their appearence but also for ethical reasons.

I have been a vegetarian for almost 4 years. I started for ethical reasons. I feel that it's something that makes me feel better with myself so, why do I have to eat meat and feel bad if there are so many options for eating?

Some people think that we don't have many options when choosing food. If you ask me, sometimes I think the same. I dont' like eating out and seeing there are only two vegetarian dishes on the menu.

But I love eating at home, in my opinion it's healthy to eat with your family.

There are places where you can buy a lot of vegetarian products like soja, tofu, seitan, tempeh, miso.. with these products you can cook hamburgers, meatballs, "tacos", "bolognese", and many more.

There is a shop in Porto Pi, in front of Mcdonals, that is very good. A supermarket in Costa d'en Blanes called "Nice Price" and a Chinese supermarket in Porto Pi too, but I don't really like it. In that supermarket you can buy spices, seaweeds, etc.

I'm a person who really loves eating and I eat too much so it seems to me that vegetarian people have multiple choices. When I stopped eating meat I discovered another world. As I see it, it's more appetizing to see a colourful plate.

In my opinion, breakfast is the most important meal of the day and my favourite one. On school days I usually eat a toast with cheese or jam with a glass of fruit juice. But at weekends I usually eat a youghurt or milk, fruit (usually kiwi or banana),and if I'm lucky "crepes with nutella".

At eleven o'clock I can have a vegetable baguette, a piece of fruit or sometimes, nothing.

For lunch I usually have lentils, pasta,hamburgers, soup, rice, etc.

At seven o'clock some fruit and a yoghurt and sometimes a chocolate piece.

And finally for dinner I like to eat a good salad.

In conclusion, I think everyone can choose what to eat, but always respecting nature.
