Once I really acknowledged what goes on in the meat industry I had to stop eating meat, and did so at once. However, it took me a while to become vegan, but that was always my main goal - start off vegetarian, but ultimately switch to vegan. A friend asked me this question yesterday - what reasoning do people have for being vegetarian but NOT vegan? Maybe it depends on why they are vegetarian? For me it was because of animal treatment, and they are treated horribly regardless of whether it's for their meat or their milk or eggs or whatever... I don't know, to me it seems like the next logical step, if you are vegetarian you will be vegan eventually or go straight to being vegan, and if you are doing it because of animal treatment, it doesn't make sense to me (now, anyway) to only stop eating meat itself. .. but why don't people do so? What is their reasoning? I guess vegetarian is better than just eating everything. I know for me the only real reason I wasn't vegan was because I was lazy and didn't feel like giving up my beloved cheese and milk products (of course, now I don't miss them at all!) I would love your thoughts!
