I spent years feeling guilty eating factory farmed meat from fast food chains and supermarkets. I knew it was bad, but I gave into peer pressure and was lazy, I didn't want to sacrifice eating a bunch of foods that I liked, plus I believed all the myths about nutrition deficiency and so forth.
But eventually I watched the Food Inc. documentary, that pushed me over the edge. I couldn't keep being a hypocrite, I knew I had to make a change and I went 100% Vegetarian later that month. It's been over 4 years now and I am healthier than I've ever been in my life.
I actually still believed the myths about nutrition for vegans/vegetarians when I made the switch, I just excepted that it was morally right and I would just have to except being weak and somewhat malnourished. But about 6 months into my switch, I came across the Game Changers documentary which debunked all of the myths about nutrition I had been told.
I have cut out the majority of dairy products from my diet too and drink Soy or Oat milk now. I cook with it for pancakes and other recipes that traditionally call for milk.
Overall, it has been fantastic for my health, plus I've convinced several family members to cut down on their meat consumption significantly, and two of them have even gone Pescatarian.
