Ask HN: Have you gone vegan or vegetarian?
Vegetarian - just stopped eating meat one day to see if I could keep it up.<p>(The reason being that I had already been thinking for a while how gross it actually was to eat animal corpses, and that I&#x27;d also rather be alive than dead, so others shouldn&#x27;t suffer that fate just because I had to satisfy my taste buds)<p>That was the easiest part - the social aspect of it is a lot more complicated than that, mostly because I had to explain to people why I made the decision, over and over again. And obviously the braindead comments about not getting enough protein etc.<p>Some things I did not even know initially, like how many products contain gelatine (which is made out of animal bones and skin), but nowadays it&#x27;s rather easy to avoid such products.<p>Going Vegan is the next goal, probably when I move into my own place, and I already tried going Vegan, but always ran into a wall because I am not the person doing groceries in this household.
