I've been a vegetarian since 1983. I don't miss meat at all.
That's great! Did you become a vegetarian for health related, environmental, political or personal reasons?
All of the above :) I used to live near an abattoir and could hear the sound of the cows lowing as they waited to be slaughtered. It was awful.
Ugh, those poor animals. That would be horrible to hear. Are you an ovo or lacto vegetarian? 
Ovo. I would prefer not to eat eggs, but I do at the moment. I always buy organic cage-free eggs. At least the hens are outside and living a semi-normal life.
That's a great way to look at it! Since you're an ovo-vegetarian, you don't consume dairy products? Do you find that difficult?
