Hi, my name is Kimiko and I’m thirty-one years old. I’ve been a vegetarian for ten years. The reason why I became vegetarian is because when I moved to Australia, I saw the meat-packing process—or the end of it—meaning I walked into a local supermarket and I saw the carcasses being hung in the background, and that’s when I made the connection, that, “Oh, that part of the animal is this packaging.” And after that connection was made clearly like that, I just couldn’t eat meat anymore.

After a couple of years being vegetarian, I read Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation. I was appalled by the way that the meat industry operated. For example, the negative impact they had on the environment, and many of the workers being treated absolutely inhumanely, and that it takes up to something crazy—like a hundred separate cows—to make one single little patty. After that, I had to be a vegetarian.

Since being vegetarian, I have experienced weight loss, I have a lot more energy, and I rarely get sick, and my skin glows.

I get my protein from beans, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and also hemp powder, and all my greens—so I get my protein from all plant sources.

Being vegetarian is right for me because I leave less impact on the environment, and I’m healthy, and I have so much energy, and a lot of people that I meet tell me that I glow—and I like that.
