I haven't touched red meat for about 10 years now for several reasons. First off, I don't like the taste of it. Also, I tend to have a "meat is murder" kind of attitude. Furthermore, I found that I simply felt better when I avoided red meat. However, for quite a while I still ate chicken and turkey.
I've always been allergic to shellfish, so I've avoided fish altogether my entire life.
Thus, it wasn't too far of a stretch for me to become vegetarian a few years ago. After doing a ton of reading on the subjects of animal rights, healthy eating, and the meat industries, I found vegetarianism to be a comfortable lifestyle for me. I still eat some dairy, but I avoid eggs. I would love to one day go completely vegan, however I don't find it feasible at the moment. Embedded dairy is difficult to avoid, and I simply don't have the time and patience right now to cook everything at home by hand. I don't doubt that it will happen once I'm done with school though.
