I'm not a vegetarian or vegan. However, I don't eat red meat (or seafood or lamb) and do somewhat try to avoid eating other meats (as well as avoiding buying products that are tested on animals...etc... although, I know I don't succeed at doing this all the time). My mother was a vegetarian for a year and I was for a small portion of the time along with her. However, we eventually became unhealthy and went back to eating meat. I am taking a few vitamin supplements now just because I don't get a lot of protein in the meat that I do eat. I'd like to try to go vegetarian again someday... but I just don't know.
