I've been lurking on these boards for over a month so I guess I should post and introduce myself.

I stopped eating meat Jan.1 (not as a New Year's Res. or anything, just happened to be that date). We had gone to Outback that night and it just hit me that I couldn't eat meat anymore. I've always been kind of disgusted by it and have always enjoyed meatless meals but never really took the leap. After researching online about the way animals are treated, etc. I knew it was the best choice for me. I didn't eat dairy/eggs the first 2 weeks and then decided on l/o for now, although I still don't eat much dairy/eggs.

I am married and have 2 kids and my husband and kids still eat meat although not so often at home. So, hoping to learn a lot on here...it seems like a great site so far!

Hey, i have a similar story, after reading about the way animals are treated, especially chickens stuck in those cages and just fattened up, i just couldnt bring myself to put meat in my mouth. I had been trying to go veggie for a while. It feels so good once you've finally got there! Welcome to vb!
