Well, the thing is if I were told to not eat meat ever again, I wouldn't give it much thought. Maybe if such had come up some six-seven years ago, I might have objected or probably eat it once in a while in hiding. But if I were told that at a time like this, trust me, I wouldn't even panic. The reason is not because I don't like meat, but one thing I've come to know, learn and has been guiding my decisions is the fact that my health comes first. Most people know me to be selfless and all, but I'm selfish when it comes to my health, you can't find me indulging in anything that will affect my health.
I've faced countless health challenges and had to undergo several things you can only imagine. Now, what am saying in essence is that if the reason for the ban on meat is my health, believe me, I will stay by it, and I won't for once think of going near it. As it is, I have a lot of foods that I don't even eat, some because I don't just like them, some are because I've been warned against them in the hospital, so not eating meat wouldn't be a hard one for me comply with. The most important thing is my health, if it would affect my health negatively in any way, I can always and will gladly do away with it.
Now, let's be realistic, I won't done y the fact that it won't be so easy, it's Christmas time like this, and coming to think of the fact that you won't get to eat the various meat in it's own is saddening. There are a lot of feeds I really enjoy eating but I was told to limit the way I eat it, or better still, mix it with certain things, and there are times I would be experiencing pain for days and the only thing I would feel like eating at that time is that particular food. But then, I can't, except if I want to worsen the pain and the situation I am in.
For me, it's more of long-term than short-term, the meat I would be eating for few minutes that will cause me days of pain, then what's the essence, what's the benefit. And as it is, I can't afford risking my health for anything. I know what I've faced, seen and experienced that's why I keep hammering on my health. Because to me, it comes first in anything.
Also, meat isn't the only source of protein, we have the likes of soya, eggs and the likes, they would serve as alternatives for me. So, I would enjoy my meals without meat but with them. We've been surviving and adapting to different things as we grow up, so, I believe that shouldn't be an issue too.
So, to me it's all about my health and well-being. One of the essence of food is to help me live and be healthy, so why take in something that would endanger me or put my life at risk. I've seen and experienced a lot of things in life to know that my body and health comes first. So, that's it for me, as long as it would affect my health, I would gladly abide by the ban.
Merry Christmas To Y'all ❤️
