When the world became vegetarian.

This is my writing for T3 W8 and our topic to write about was if everyone in the world was vegetarian!

N.L: to narrate

RT: add key vocabulary

One fateful day, in the meadows, a livestock farmer was about to slaughter a cow for steak. Unexpectedly, the cow said in a deep demonic voice “Mortal, do not kill me. I will not withstand your foolish species. I have seen you slaughter my family. Turn into vegetarians, or else I will have to take drastic measures.” The farmer froze in surprise. He hadn’t seen anything like it. He ran away to the mayor. At first he didn’t believe him. But then once he had shown him the cow, he immediately came in contact with the prime minister. Soon the whole population heard this news and they swapped to vegetarianism. A boy named “Jimmy” was a victim of this cruel practice. Here is his sorrowful story.

I remember on the day that everyone was vegetarian, people were out of jobs. My dad was a butcher back then and he had to shut down. My mom was a stay at home mom so we didn’t earn any money. My mom and dad had to find a job quickly, but it would take a while. I was anxious about how we weren't making any money. What if we suddenly ran out of food and we couldn't afford to buy anymore. Then after that we would just starve to death, until our body rots into nothing but bones. But I'm probably overthinking it. That has a very low percentage of happening. It took one month for him to get a job. But what was really crazy was what happened in that one month. Other than the fact that we weren’t getting any income, life was fine. We had tons of food and we still had an average amount of money. We still knew we had to be vegetarian so we bought fruit and vegetables. Soon all that fruit and vegetables would be gone. Since the whole population was vegetarian the supply for fruits and vegetables was running low. I remember saying to my parents “Don’t worry! We can still eat grains and dairy products!” But due to the amount of people buying grains and dairy products, they rose up to absurd prices.

Loads of people were out of food, including my family. The average human being can survive without food for 8-21 days. If you have active water intake you can expand it to 2 months. Also with this information in mind, the fastest vegetable to grow is a radish which takes 21 days to grow. As soon as the radishes came in store the government passed them out to civilians. We were lucky enough to get our hands on some and we could eat again. But others weren’t so lucky. At this point people started to get desperate and ate any source of food which wasn’t meat. The unfortunate people started fighting for their food and at this point it was getting crazy. At that moment, I had an epiphany. What if during this moment, society was falling apart. Slowly, town by town, city by city, country by country, we were slowly falling to our inevitable doom. This alone just proves how in our last moments, people show who they truly are. It wasn’t long before they got arrested and ate food in jail. Our family decided to start our own farm and grow our own veggies and fruits with these seeds we bought from Mitre 10. We had enough radishes to last us until they grew. We figured that if a cow’s lifespan is 18-22 years then we just had to keep repeating this until he died of old age. During those 21 years, I quite enjoyed being vegetarian. I finally appreciating fruit and veggies, as those were one of the only things that kept me alive. But do you know what is better than that? A good medium rare steak.

Eventually he died and we got to eat meat again. That my friends is when the entire population of the world became vegetarian. 

I enjoyed this activity because I like writing narratives.
