Today we share with you a new report published at http://www.carnivorosanonimos.com/  This time they share with us in the feature article of the day, called "A Small Magazine Took Me Straight to the Revolution", confessions of an ex-meat eater who tells us about how she met an activist from the Spoon Revolution on the bus in her way to school.  The young man was offering magazines, she read it ... and this was the beginning of her desire to become a vegetarian.

The ex-meat eater is called Sara from Colombia, and she says (in Spanish),

A SMALL MAGAZINE TOOK ME
STRAIGHT TO THE REVOLUTION

“One day I was going to school on the bus, as usual, when a young man got on the bus to speak to the passengers.  I did not pay much attention to him because young men like him took the bus up to 4 times daily on my way. He started some small talk about small magazines and the reasons for leaving the meat, that to do this was good, and other interesting items ... like that coke can “literally” kill you, and so on. When I realized how interesting it sounded I started to pay more attention, and when he approached me to offer me the magazine I wanted to buy ¡all of them! to see them and learn more.
But my money was scarce, so he kindly said “I'll give you an edition that encourages you to be part of this revolution; I see in you a future vegetarian”...
Those words penetrated me a lot, and the term "vegetarian" made me to wish to know what it was. All day I spent reading the magazine and when I got to my house at night, I went directly to the computer to look for more information ... then I got hungry and I went straight to the kitchen, opened the fridge and get something to eat.
But that day I noticed something different about me, I was not going directly to the piece of chicken (as it was usual) or meat or sausage or bologna, none of that.  For the first time in my life I went straight to the lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, onions ... ingredients for a delicious salad for dinner ...
And as the days were passing, I started avoiding meat, just ignoring it and learning from the Spoon Revolution how to eat healthily and also respect my brothers, the animals, as it should be! ... Today it is almost 2 years of this beautiful revolution.
Ah … 2 months after my encounter with "the Magazine of the Revolution," as it is called, the same young man got on the bus again with many more magazines, and you know what ... That time I buy them all  : D”
