I recently became a vegetarian! I abstain from eating any kind of meat.
I see, and what made you come to such a decision? 
Mainly for health-related issues, but environmental and economic factors also helped me to my decision.
Did all the recent debate on animal cruelty in farms also influence your decision? 
It definitely did! I am a lacto vegetarian, which means I don't eat meat or eggs, but I do consume some dairy products. I couldn't give up cheese!
I agree, cheese is one of the best things in life! Especially whens its made for pizza.
Oh yeah! And macaroni and cheese! Yum! My friend was trying to convince me to become a vegan, but that's a very restrictive diet which excludes all dairy.
