For anyone that cares, I've only been vegetarian for 3 years. People can eat what they like, I'm never seeking to change anyone's mind on it, as a species we're omnivores and that's never going to change.

I think the range of meat substitutes these days is great. I've always been a picky eater so was already eating Quorn and similar foods before I decided to cut out anything that requires an animal to die.

The thing that finally convinced me was a video shared on Facebook of a cow drinking from a bucket of milk and being silly with it. It was behaving like a dog and I was like yeah, I already don't eat much meat anyway so I may as well.

I am dairy intolerant too but wouldn't go for veganism as I don't want to give up eggs. For what it's worth I get my eggs from a colleague that looks after rescued battery hens so I know they're well looked after. But I do eat other things that contain eggs, eat them when I'm out etc so I'm not claiming any moral high ground there.
