For veggies?

Question

What put you off meat? I used to live on a farm so I was always around animals. Some years ago I became more sensitive to nature and animals, I am also an animist, and therefore decided to give up meat.

What are your reasons?

Answer 1

Vegetarian from birth....religious reasons mainly, but I did try boiled egg and omelette when I was young, and sort of liked it.

But after I grew older, I realized the virtues of vegetarianism, its nonviolence and so I have been a strict vegetarian. Of course I take milk products.

Answer 2

watching 'meet your meat'.

after seeing that, i completely gave up meat, ordered a peta dvd which made me see even more tragic things, making me refuse to buy anything animal tested too.

and ive never looked back :)

Answer 3

One of my parents is a strict vegetarian,has been since a child,but never forced their opinion on me.I remember visiting an abbatoir,the whole conveyor belt system of slaughter really made me sick to my stomach,the sight of something being put to death to make your breakfast bacon or sausages left an impression on me.

I stopped eating meat and drinking milk. I've never looked back.

Answer 4

There were several things.  First of all, my body changed and became less tolerant of meat.  Then there was the McDeathburger chicken head incident in early 2001.  I also read "Fast Food Nation" that year.  One day, as I was eating meat, I got disgusted and decided to go vegan.  I read a bunch of stuff, realized that dairy and eggs were probably even crueler than meat, and I went vegan.

Answer 5

the taste...
