How does it feel to be a vegetarian

Surely many of you have heard about vegetarian and vegan. I wasn’t so clear about the difference until I read this explanation:

“Neither vegans nor vegetarians eat meat. However, while vegetarians tend to consume dairy products and eggs, a vegan avoids all animal products, including eggs and dairy, and often inedible animal-based products, such as leather, wool, and silk. Vegetarianism is usually a diet, while veganism is a lifestyle.”

  

Last month, I went to my friend’s wedding and was served a vegetarian course. That was not my first time trying veggie food, I had a few times before since ~10 years ago.

So it’s not to my surprise that the food was delicious. Not only that, the presentation was superb too. Hence, I take this initiative to show these to you.

Don't they look yummeh??

Yeah it was and I felt so full.

These days, the number of people turning to be vegan is rising, due to the need to practice a healthy life-style or doing it for the sake of animal rights. Whatever the reason is, I respect all individual’s choice. It is important to observe and check the food we consume, because ‘we are what we eat’

Probably I will try the Veganuary.

But the only thing I don’t agree is when people criticize other people for their choice.

If you think being a vegan is good, don’t condemn people for eating meat.

If you still enjoy eating meat, don’t question people for being vegan.

In my honest opinion, I believe God create animals for us to eat. It’s never a sin to eat animals, but of course, only certain animals. Anyway, it’s gonna be a long long lecture to explain the types of animal that are allowed to eat, etc; so I’m just gonna drop the topic.

For now, be thankful for your ability to enjoy food on your table. 

Bon Appetit!

Kau rasa dunia ni adil??

Orang yang penah tipu kau sampai kau hidup tersungkur, tapi dia masih bebas hidup menipu orang lain. Adil ke tu?

Orang yang penah curang dengan kau sampai luluh hati, kini dia bahagia hidup beranak pinak. Adil ke tu?

Orang yang aniya kau kat tempat kerja, tapi dia pulak yang dapat naik pangkat. Adil ke tu?

Orang yang hidup bebas macam takde pegangan agama, tapi dia hidup kaya raya. Adil ke tu?

Orang yang pernah buat hati kau merana, tapi dia masih bahagia berpoya-poya. Adil ke tu?

Let me tell you. 

Dunia ni memang tak adil. Dunia ni kejam! Kita hidup kat dunia ni akan ditimpa macam-macam dugaan. 

Kadang-kadang dugaan itu sesuatu yang tak tertanggung. Dada rasa nak pecah, hati calar berdarah. 

Tapi ada satu perkataan yang mampu buat kau terus hidup. Redha. Ye, redha dengan setiap dugaan yang datang sebab kau tahu apa yang terjadi pasti ada hikmahnya. 

Setiap dugaan itu kita sendiri yang tentukan samada ianya sebagai ujian atau musibah. 

Bila kita sedar hidup ni memang kejam, kita lebih sedia untuk redha, kita akan lebih kuat bila datang dugaan yang hebat.

Hanya satu kita perlu yakin, Allah Maha Adil.
