Being vegetarian in Canada


An interesting fact about me to know is the fact that I am vegetarian and this is for many reasons. Everything started two years ago when my mom stopped eating meat, which made me think more about where meat comes from and under which circumstances animals had to live before being slaughtered. Anyway, dealing with this very subject for a while, I decided to stop eating meat.  Being vegetarian for the past year I had to deal with many challenges but living in Canada – a meat eating world – I had a tough time.

Before planning our trip to Canada, I knew that they like eating meat but living there showed me that they adore it. My friend and I, we both lived in a host family in North Vancouver. Living there, we were depended on what our host mother cooked. Every day at lunch and at dinner they cooked meat. For me, as vegetarian, the only thing I could eat were the side dishes like rice or salad and we spent one month there.. Spending our time there we experienced so many awesome things, dealing with this particular subject and spending one month just easting rice and salad was not easy, though.
