I was wondering if you are for, or against the above two lifestyle choices.

I'm a vegetarian, I have been for almost a year now. I had tried to do it when I was younger, but I guess I wasn't mature enough and it fell through. But after meeting my girlfriend, who is a vegetarian, it opened my eyes up a bit and so I embarked on the journey.

I think it's great. I feel no less healthy or weak then when I ate meat. I don't miss meat at all. It feels great.

So I eat nothing with any sort of trace of animal meat/fat/bone in it, obviously. I don't buy or wear fur or leather also. Except for a leather belt I owned before becoming vegetarian, so I continue to wear it, otherwise it would be a waste. So once it wears out I will purchase a non-leather substitute.

My choice in becoming vegetarian is my love of animals, and how badly they get treated. I also feel a lot more connected with earth and at peace.

Are any of you vegetarian or vegan? What are your choices for being so, or for not being so?
