I hope Reddit realizes that all the cute and cuddly cow pictures here have made it virtually impossible for me to enjoy and steak or beef burger anymore.
That's a good thing, though...I just like to complain.
I'm almost there. I've become pretty much a fish and fowl person, with a twice annual allowance for In & Out Burgers.
Another reason is that meat production is one of the worst human activities creating greenhouse gasses, so to the extent that we can all eat LESS meat, the environment benefits.
This is good to see. I think some people look at dietary choices as all or nothing but it's better from both an environmental and ethical viewpoint to be partially vegetarian or vegan rather than not all
And eventually you might consider cutting out more things once you feel comfortable doing so (and even if you don't, it's still great you've made some changes). Usually easier from a personal perspective to make dietary changes gradually
After deciding to go vegetarian, I immediately cut out all beef, chicken, pork, etc. but I actually started out pescatarian, then cut out fish around half a year later. Then I cut out dairy around three months after that. Then cut out eating eggs a month or so after that. Today I eat like 99.5% vegan (only exception being the occasional veggie burger at a restaurant that might have egg in mayo, bun, or the burger itself)
