Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well *ahem* one day i was upset and i worked on a Meat farm and i ran out to the field and sat on the wood fence and while crying one of the cows came up to me and licked me and layed its face on my lap and from then on i quit eating them ( i never killed the animals on the farm though) i also stole that cow from the farm and kept it at my house until they found it .... then they killed it in front of me for the punishment.... i cryed so much... i never worked there again crying .

i saw meetyourmeat.com's vid
now i don't eat meat, drink milk, eat cheese, yogurt, and if i can help it anything with dairy and if i eat eggs, they are free-range.
It might sound wrong that I eat eggs at all but the eggs they sell aren't fertalized and by the time a chicken has "popped" one out it's too late to fertalize it.

I became a vegetarian through influence of my older sister and because I read pamphelts from Peta about the horrors of animal cruelty and that influenced me too.

I feel kinda out of place. I didn't go veggie to help animals, or after watching an animal die. It wasn't the concept of the cow becoming a hamburger; it was the concept of the hamburger itself.

see, I came from a very "meat-n-potatos" family. I always thought the way meat was perpared in my house was sick. Boiled hotdog, soppy burgers, boiled chiken (that was the worst), overly rare steak (i hated steak anyways). Plus, there was rarely ever any fruits or veggies in the house. A meat and starch diet is not a good thing, for your body or pallat. During a trip downstate, we had an amazing saladbar. It was delicious. I decided there that I'd try to go veggie, and Ive kept to it. It has been a couple months now (I'm still really new to it) and I feel better (and healthier) than ever. I even got a couple of friends to go veggie too.

i've always been a vegetarian... my whole family are vegetarian except sometimes they eat turkey... however I don't... In the begining when i was a kid i was embrass that I would have to bring home lunch to school... since the don't serve Vegatarian food in that Cafe...I would wish i could be like everyone else...but as I got old I didn't have a problem we with it... I like being a vegetarian... I'm not a vegan but I will be once I go to college and get out of my house... My mom wouldn't really buy me vegan food...I have to drink milk because my mom wouldn't buy soy milk... It costs more and we're not rich, we don't have much money to be truthful... But the though of chesse and eggs creep me out... are eggs the result of chicken menstrual cycle...eww... anyway that how i became a vegetarian...

i loved animals, so i felt bad eating meat. i told myself i wasnt gonna be a vegetarian. but then i found out some of my friends were... it was all over TV... we talked about it in SS when we were discussing India... and it finally got to my head. i randomly decided to become a vegetarian, and havent eaten meat since. books say to 'gradually lessen how much meat you eat' but i found it fairly easy to switch. but since i had 13 meat filled years behind me, i occasionly got those cravings, but you forget about them and after a month or two you dont get them and meat discusts you. its a great feeling to know your doing your part to save the world.

pls i alays felt bad eating animals so it was easier to do for me
