My daughter is a huge animal lover and never really cared for meat so decided to become vegetarian. She didn't eat meat for a year and then started making exceptions for bacon and pepperoni- you know thae really healthy meats.
I very recently (maybe two months) decided to give up meat after reading a book called Skinny Bitch. I was literally horrified by the treatment of the animals and that was pretty much it for me. I haven't touched meat since I closed that book. My daughter decided to join me and gave up her pepperoni and bacon. I am surprised that I actually don't miss meat at all. I am not sickened that you crave a burger sometimes because I used to LOVE burgers. If you are interested go to
www.vegcooking.com and you can order a free vegetarian starter kit which is a little magazine. It is from PETA but don't let that scare you off- it's got great information and recipes. Be prepared though because I don't think anyone could read it and ever eat meat again.
