Not if you were getting too big for your clothes, and seriously didn't want to buy a size larger. Most my life I ate anything I wanted and never gained much. Now my body is making 3 pounds of fat out of every calorie consumed, so I am not eating a lot of things I would love to eat.
Also I have a limited income and rather not spend money on meat.
I don't have to cook for others, so I am getting lazy, and find salads in the summer, and vegatables with tofu in the winter pretty easy to prepare.
I am very attracted to East Indian foods!
One more reason for at least reducing the meat I consume, is it takes too much land and energy for meat. Our heavy meat diet is not possible around the world, so for moral reasons, I favor foods that can sustain the world.
Another moral concern is it might not be a good thing having an industry that requires humans to kill.
