I know I said I was going to run this series on Monday’s. However, we’re going to the Cardinals game tonight and thought this would be the PERFECT time to start it. My first guest poster is my own daughter, Linsey. She is 9 years old and here’s what she had to say (in her own words) about being a kid and a vegetarian.

I’m A Vegetarian Kid By: Linsey Sparks, 9 years old

HI! My name is Linsey. I am RealFitMama’s daughter. I like being a vegetarian…correction, I love being a vegetarian. When some people at lunch eat meat and chew with there mouth open I think it is just disgusting. One because I don’t eat meat and two because it is just plain gross.

I used to want to eat meat, but when I found out what they do to those animals I don’t anymore. I have been a vegetarian since I was 2 years old. So I have been a vegetarian for over 7 years.

At my school, in my grade, there are only three vegetarians. This vegetarian is also very active. I am doing a run on April 24th with my mom to raise money for the ASPCA. I also love P.E. class, but we only have gym class every three days.

I think it’s super cool that we get vegetarian hot dogs and stuff like that. I love the vegetarian “meats” my parents buy for my mom, my little sister and me. I think it is delicious. I eat it almost every day.

Being a vegetarian is awesome. We all love being vegetarians, well three of us, my dad is not a vegetarian. I really do not care that not all of us are vegetarians. I like my family just the way it is!

I have been thinking about if I want to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life and…I DO!

If you are interested in joining the I Am A Vegetarian series with your story please feel free to email me at maria@realfitmama.com. I LOVE reading other people’s stories and I know that others will too.

Linsey’s choice…
