It was a fine day in December 1979. I had been working really long hours and had no time to cook, so I was just getting food from the vegetarian deli near my job on the way home. Then things let up a little, and I went out and did a big grocery shopping and cooked a meat meal. I took one bite and spat it out. It tasted DEAD and utterly disgusting! I made a few half-hearted tries to eat meat at other people's house, but I could never get it past my mouth after that, and after a while I stopped trying. No regrets, except I wish I'd realised even sooner how gross meat is.

I've always liked animals but thought it would be to hard to give up meat. But about 6 monthes ago my sister was reading a booklet from peta and i figured I'd look at it for kicks, i swear to god my eyes bugged out of my head when i read i all the horrible things they do to animals in factory farms, I didn't even know there were such things as factory farms. I was naive and assumed the animals had a nice long life on a farm and quickly killed which is SO far from the truth. Plus I read about how not eating meat saves the environment so i decided no more meat for me and stopped that day.

If you knew that you just couldn't eat meat anymore at that
final moment, you must convince yourself of a good reason
not to eat, like due to religion, or custom or even a lasting
promise etc. Once you accept it, you can change to be a
vegetarian. It's not the end of the world and life must go on.

I haven't fully gotten there yet. I am trying though. I have relapses still, about once a week. What is getting to me to change my mind is that, I live outside Toronto, so I travel in everyday on the highway. The slaughterhouse is in the downtown area. I see the animal trucks heading that way and I can't help but think they will be on my or someone else's plate in a couple of days. When people say they are animal lovers shouldn't that also include cows, chickens and pigs?

After my dad made me gut a fish a couple of years ago.I had to stick a knife in the hole at the bottom of the fish and cut open the stomach,then scoop out the guts and intestines with my bare hand. Its just a really graphic and distgusting process.

I was 16 and my mother had brought home a book called "The Higher Taste" from the local Hare Krishna Community. The latter half of the book included recipes, which was her interest in it. The first half was a series of essay covering major arguments in favor of a vegetarian diet; it encompassed health reasons, reasons involving humane treatment of the other species we share the planet with, economic and ecological reasons and more. It just clicked. My 14 year old sister came upon me reading it just as I was finishing and told me that our mother had instructed her that we weren't to read it; I told her it was too late, that I was a vegetarian which of course prompted her to read it, too. By the time my mom came home from work, she had three vegetarian teens on her hands, one of whom she had to send home to parents that weren't likely to take it in stride. But she did; 20 years later my mom still eats fish and doesn't call herself a vegetarian, but my sister and I have both remained devoted veggies.

just out the blue, one fine day, i decided no more meat and seafood for me, i just couldn't bare the thought of killing another beings just to satisfy my watering mouth. sometimes i think "what happens if i am the one being put on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered" so. i am a vegetarian since then.
