I have been vegetarian for exactly 16 years and one day.
I turned vegetarian the day sneakers died. It started off as being sad about sneakers, it has morphed into being sad about the treatment of livestock in this country as well as how removed we are from the food we eat.
if I do eat meat again, i am gonna have to kill it myself. i think that should be a pre-requisite to any meat eating. you have to be able to kill what you eat. not every time, but if you want to eat a hamburger, you should have butchered a cow at least once in your life.
I have been vegetarian longer than i have not been vegetarian.
I hope sneakers' soul is happy. i love that guinea pig. I still do.

You should read The Omnivore's Dilemma, I think you would really like the ideas he explores (including taking responsibility for your food by killing it yourself).
