For most, turning vegetarian is a way of life that you choose. Some have to adapt to this diet due to a medical condition, but for the purpose of this post I’m going to talk to someone who chose this way of life. Based on talking to a wide variety of vegetarians and reading about this way of life, many believe that not eating meat is healthier and a lot of people, having seen the process that the animal being eaten had to go through to end up on our plates too traumatising so out of guilt or defiance of this they decide to cut out meat altogether. I also interviewed my friend and housemate Áine Curtin on her being coeliac if that interests you too (here)
