I'm Hindu and have been vegetarian all my life. I do not believe in eating meat, I know it is healthier not to, and I do not really understand how anyone can choose to.

That being said, that is why I don't eat meat, and never will. This is a personal choice, and one only you can make. No one should try to push or guilt you into it. If you find it easier to taper off, do that, or to become pescetarian, great, at least you are making an effort, and I heartily applaud that. If you change your mind, or don't succeed, you've still done more than many I know.

If you'd like some suggestions for meat substitutes, pm me. My son loves fish subs (he loves seaweed, and we found that meant a lot of fish substitutes appealed to him), and we found a wonderful place for them, as well as other meat subs, and recipes.
