I decided to stop eating meat when i was 14 years old and my reason was the same that I have today : the bad conditions that animals are raised and killed just in the name of our pleasure. And their suffering of course. My friends thought that I was crazy and took me to a psychologist. I cried, but I didn't change my mind :) I am not vegan, only because of my family, that think that I am gonna die if I stop eating fish, but that is about to change! I do not drink cow milk,reduced the consumption of cheese, do not use animal products in my clothes and don't use products tested on animals. I do eat eggs but only from my grandmother's chickens.
