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!
