Humorous Wedding Speech: I Want To Become Vegetarian
Topic: EAT LESS MEAT
Opening/Attention:
The first time I told my Italian grandma that I was vegetarian, she started crying.
One day I was eating with her, and she made cabbage rolls..they were amazing! So I asked her: “Gradma, what did you put in it?” And she replied to me: “Don’t worry, honey, I know that you are vegetarian, so I just put veggies in it…and just a tiny little piece of mortadella to enhance the flavor..but don’t worry Marta, it is really a tiny piece!”
So, I decide to dedicate this speech to my grandma and my intention is to convince her and maybe someone else in the audience today that there are alternatives to meat, and that vegetarian people are not sick.
Spoken Link/Transition:
For my grandma’s happiness, I am not vegetarian …show more content…
Closing/Call to Action:
I am not expecting everybody to become vegetarian right away. I am not even.
What I would like to obtain with my speech is to sensitize those people who do not even realize to eat meat every day. The first step of my success today will be to show you that alternatives to meat are available and that they are reasonable.
Canada’s Food Guide suggests eating 5 ounces of meat per day, for a woman our age, and 7.5 ounces for a man like you.
A Subway sandwich contains 6 ounces of meat. A Mc Donald’s cheeseburger has 4 ounces of meat. Usually a slice of bacon is 1 ounces. So, if you have eaten 2 or more of these combinations today you probably are already over the limit.
Yesterday, I went to a restaurant, on the menu they were offering smash potatoes with bacon, eggs with ham or bacon, sandwich with prosciutto, and a quiche with inside eggs and bacon.
Try to be a critic eater and start counting how much meat you eat per day. Do not suddenly eliminate all the meat from your diet. Try to substitute one meat dish per day with legumes, fish, soy, quinoa, broccoli, nuts or
