This is my presentation for Writing and Communications class. It is about a change of perspective: I was a meat-eater, then a a vegetarian, then a more conscientious meat-eater.

4. Before...
My whole life, I ate
meat and all the

hamburgers...

When I saw the

6. The After
For a long time, I was a
vegetarian. My food
consisted in
vegetables, fruits,
breads, rice, pasta,
beans, tofu and other
vegetarian proteins.

7. ...Food Envy!
As a vegetarian, I
could not eat the
same delicious things
my friends and family
were eating!

8. My life as a Vegetarian...
I even got gray hair!
I became very skinny

9. The Change II: Egypt
I spent some time in
Egypt
And I noticed how the
people live off animals
and the land

10. Then and Now!
The ancient Egyptians
used animals
So did our human
ancestors

11. My Position Shifted

I realized that it is not evil to eat and use animals

I realized that it is healthy and natural

What is wrong is the separation from nature and torturing animals
Vs.

12. ... And Now ...

13. In Retrospect

I believe in eating healthy proteins, including animals, but I support organic
food and humane farms.

I do not judge meat eaters, or vegetarians, since I understand both
perspectives. However, in my experience, it is good for the body to eat
animal products.

I am very glad I had the experience of being a vegetarian and becoming
a more conscientious eater.

14. In Conclusion

If slaughterhouses had walls, everyone would be a more conscientious
eater.
