Q: Are you a vegetarian?
A: Yes, I am.
Q: How long have you been a vegetarian?
A: Almost ten months.
Q: Why did you become a vegetarian?
A: I became a vegetarian to become closer to God.
Q: What motivates you to stay a vegetarian.
A: I am obeying God by finishing the course.
Q: What are some struggles you have had?
A: Great question! I was living overseas in a culture where being a vegetarian is not culturally accepted. The other reason is that often the public is not vegetarian friendly. I have had strange looks from people. You are a red blooded male, not a hippie or weird animal activist.
Q: What characteristics of vegetarianism do you like?
A: I like that it is healthy. I have only been sick once in 10 months. I have to also be creative with my food choices, and it has expanded my realm of food possibilities.
Q: What characteristics do you dislike?
A: I dislike that its difficult to eat in certain places, and it is associated with other lifestyles that I haven't chosen.
Q: Can you be more specific with the spiritual realm?
A: The Biblical model for being a vegetarian is that you can be a vegetarian and a Christian, but you can still have them not related. I am fasting from certain foods. For me, I was having dialogue with the Lord, and I had an agreement where I would do anything for the Lord. I heard the Lord tell me to give up sweets and meats.
Q: Is there any advice you could give me for pushing forward as a vegetarian?
A: It is good to have a goal. You have to have purpose with whatever you are doing. Make sure you are revisiting why you are doing what you are doing? Find good foods, recipes, and hummus!
