Dear Awakening
Do please take a look at my thread on this a couple of weeks ago.
I have recently become a vegetarian too so I am very glad to talk to you about it!

My personal stance is absolutely clear - to me real spirituality in Buddhism or otherwise simply cannot be possible if one still eats the flesh of other living things. I do feel very strongly about it as I have looked into what is going on and what suffering is inflicted.

I feel lighter, healthier and true to myself since I stopped eating animals. I wish you well in this hugely positive step you have taken. I do still eat eggs but from a nearby farm where the hens can be seen to be free and happy, I still eat dairy produce and a little milk but buy organic.

It takes time for the transition from meat-eater to vegetarian and so far I have given up all meat and fish. I intend to become vegan as soon as practical. At the moment I am reading books and making plans to ensure my diet is truly more excellently balanced than ever before.
