I've stopped eating meat.

It didn't have anything to do with New Years.... I followed a link somewhere and saw a video of a pig slaughterhouse, from live pig to hot dog. Almost made me cry

I'm not cutting out meat altogether, just meat that comes from slaughterhouses. To me, it's about respecting the animal that is dying to feed me. I'll eat halal meat (some Muslims eat this, it is essential 'blessed' and each animal is killed individually by an actual PERSON rather than a machine) - you can get beef/chicken like this (no pork though heh heh).

I'm eating seafood as well, since it is 'harvested' instead of butchered.

I've been eating mostly tofu, vegetables, fruit, beans, and rice for that past 3 weeks, and I think I feel better than before! I always ate that stuff anyway, but I've just adjusted the proportions to keep the protein/carb/fat balance in tact.

My mind works in strange ways... after seeing that video I just couldn't bring myself to say 'oh well' and keep eating the same stuff. I do miss bacon though... aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bacon /drool... but I just think of the poor little piggies and I don't mind so much
