Student’s View Changes
Josephine Switches diets after startling realization
Josephine Muniz, a freshman at Mckinley High School was a real meat fanatic. “I would have never imagined myself becoming a vegetarian… I use to put bacon on everything.” So what changed?
In Muniz’s 8th grade year she made a horrifying discovery about the specifics of the cruel process in which animals go through to become the food on our plates. Just to make sure what she uncovered was true she did even more research.
The finding was devastating. “It felt like a bomb exploded in my heart.” Muniz said, “That moment was the start of my motivation…”
Once she understood the animal abuse, she knew she had to make a change. Almost instantly she made the switch to vegetarian. Thankfully her family is very understanding and even cooks vegetarian food for her. It goes to show that even the stubborn can modify and adapt to a new lifestyle.
Today she is glad that she became a vegetarian and wants to spread the word on animal abuse. “If we lived in a different world, where cows and pigs were treated like dog and cats- like family, I’m sure people would feel the same…”
