I'm Cuban, so we grew up eating meat. But I didn't like it. I'd say, ‘Rice and black beans is just fine with me.' But my mother, you know, would say, ‘Tu estas muy flaca!' Then one day I saw my dad kill a chicken and ever since then I was grossed out by chicken.

All my life, I have been sickened by everything connected with meat-, fish-, and poultry eating. As a child, I saw apparently nice, kind people wring the necks of fowls, and I thought it foul; and I wondered if I could ever exert any influence to help bring such unworthiness to an end.

I wasn't eating the right kinds of calories. I didn't know about healthy carbs such as brown rice and lentils. Now I eat small meals throughout the day: oatmeal with cinnamon to start, fruit and yogurt as a snack, and vegetables or with chicken or tuna, and a healthy carb, like a yam, for lunch.
