Well, I just recently decided to stop eating meat, but had been thinking about it for a while. My main reasons for not eating meat are the horrible living conditions the animals endure. I had no idea about their conditions, until I started doing some research on it. Another main reason for my not eating meat is the injection of hormones and antibiotics in the animals, that makes me think eating meat is not as "natural" as everyone wants to believe it is. Also, thinking about the fact that what I was eating used to be a living creature really started to weigh on my conscience.
I hope I was of help!
