Heather, thank you for starting this thread! I became vegetarian just 6 weeks ago! Mostly for emotional reasons!! I said to myself (and to those willing to hear me ) "Well, I have a cat, but I can imagine myself loving a pig as much as I love my Siro!" and then, of course, everybody paying attention to me burst out laughing - and I like it that way. I suppose I mean Iīm veggie for emotional reason, but I donīt want to fuss a lot about it, and, of course, I understand and respect when others eat meat (in fact, I ate meat myself two months ago! ) I also love vegetables and pasta and salads, so it wasnīt a great change for me at all, though I must admit I like (liked !?) meat Itīs just a personal choice!!
