Story: I think meat is nasty and disgusting

When I joined this veggie challenge, my mum was like, what?! OMG, I gotta cook veggie meals for you?

[Veggie Challenge Stories] When I joined this veggie challenge, my mum was like, what?! OMG, I gotta cook veggie meals for you??? And it was kinda hard cuz my mum usually makes soup with chicken or beef to taste, and not drinking it was like, offensive. On the other hand, eating vegetarian food is easy cuz I don't eat meat, just fish, so I can just cut fish off my diet and that's it. I don't like eating meat since, I don't know, 11? I think its nasty and disgusting ... anyway, we went to the Buddha Vegetarian Restaurant and the Bo De Duyen Vegetarian Restaurant in Chinatown. And honestly, they're not as cheap as I am used to, but its worth it! – they taste good! I'm serious! I love the "imitation" pork ribs with sweet and sour sauce at Bo De Duyen, and of course the "imitation" beef made by soy chunks. I really enjoy being a vegetarian and being a vegetarian helps me to lose weight, LOL, haha. =)
