Hello! How about I introduce myself?

Hello, and welcome to my blog. I guess I should tell you guys who I am. Well my name is Zach, and I am 12 years old. I WAS a vegetarian for 2 months, but I was losing weight so my mom told me I had to eat fish... YUCK!!! Well I have been a pescatarian (The word “pescatarian” is occasionally used to describe those who abstain from eating all meat and animal flesh with the exception of fish.) for over a year now. I became a vegetarian when my mom said that vegetarians live longer then people that eat meat... I was naive and believed her. (: Enough about me... I have my first question for all of you reading this blog, Why did you become a vegetarian, be it religious,or personal reasons. One thing you guys can look forward to is having me post my favorite recipes and some tips on making the transition from eating meat,fish,and chicken to just veggies and/or fish.
