My wife recently became a vegetarian (as recent as a couple months, after years of wanting to) and it is super hard. I want to support her but it is oh so hard. My guess is that it is easier in some other countries but in Mexico it is super hard, specially considering we are on a low-carb diet (I'm a type 2 diabetic). I'm eating dramatically less meat because of this, but it made me realise that I could not ever be a vegetarian or --gasp-- a vegan. I'm not dumb, I understand the ethical implications but I had to accept that I'm a selfish bastard in this regard. I have no vices, I can't already eat sweets or cakes, I don't want to give up meat too. It's pure selfishness.
