When i was 19 yr I became vegetarian after spending a day working in a meatworks. I found the whole experience barbaric and thought the next step was aushwich. That short time there changed my life for the next 43 years.
At first I was a vegetarian. I dropped dairy meat of any type and the only animal product I ate was cheese and I stopped eating that about 2 yrs ago and went vegan at the time not even knowing what a vegan was.
