I don’t eat meat, but I do eat fish, eggs, and dairy . Cons: Giving up the yummy taste of meat. Being “that guy” at pot-lucks, bbqs, and shared dinners. Depending on how far you take vegetarianism (eggs? fish? just red meat?) it can be hard to eat at some restaurants. Explaining over and over why you don’t eat meat. Finding another way to get enough of the nutrients meat has. Some people get gassy. Pros: Many people believe it’s healthier. Not supporting an industry that abuses animals. It feels good to know your $ does not go to torture animals. (<—-my main reason. And yes, hunters, I know there are ways around this, and no, I don’t buy leather or suede.) You have the opportunity and reason to try so many yummy new foods. I’ll probably think of more soon…
