It was a gradual thing. I never liked the taste of red meat, but enjoyed fish and chicken. So I cut red meat out pretty early (as soon as my parents stopped making me sit at the table to finish the meal).
Later, as I learned more about factory farming and the treatment of chickens in factory farms, I stopped eating chicken and was just left with fish. And finally I learned more about fish farming and overfishing and decided to just remove fish as well. That full vegetarian switch happened over ten years ago now.
I'm currently finding myself in the midst of minimizing egg and dairy consumption as well. I don't buy normal milk anymore, having found a great alternative that I enjoy. I rarely eat real cheese, opting for vegan alternatives since there's quite a few great tasting options now. But I'm not super strict about it, especially when eating out.
- numerik_meister 4y agoAre you a man or a woman? I ask because I notice, women tend to often not like red meat as much, and often also like fish more than men. Observation seems to be supported by some evidence: https://faunalytics.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/GenderAttitudesTowardMeat.pdf https://faunalytics.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/GenderAtt...

- drakonka 4y agoIt is a pea-based replacement called Sproud. Milk replacement tastes are extremely individual, but for me it was the only thing that managed to taste just right in coffee. All the oat, almond, and other alternatives I've tried always seemed to create a distracting aftertaste for me.
