I've never eaten meat. My mum brought me up veggie but said i had the choice to eat meat if i wanted. She brought me up this way for ethical reasons. Because i've never had i obviously don't crave it but to be honest the thought of eating an animal makes me want to vomit anyway. What right do we as the 'superior race' to kill other species for food, I and hundreds of thousands of others are living proof that we don't need meat to live. With regard to having difficulty giving stuff up, i don't really experience this. For example, as soon as i discover that some product or other is tested on animals, regardless of how much i like it or how regularly i use it i just give it up, full stop and never really think of it again.
