I am thinking about becoming a vegetarian.  What do you think about it?
I think it's great! Would you do it for health, political, cultural or environmental reasons?
I think more for health.  Isn't it better for you to not eat meat?
Certain meats can be high in fat and cholesterol so it may be wise to avoid them. You have to decide if you want to be on an ovo-lacto or ovo-vegetarian diet.
What is the difference between ovo-lacto and ovo-vegetarian?
An ovo-vegetarian diet includes eggs, but not dairy. An ovo-lacto diet includes both dairy and eggs. Or you could go completely vegan, which would be no eggs or dairy!
Oooo.  That is a good question.  I really like eggs, so I may need to keep those on the menu!  I hope they are not too bad for me!
Packaged and processed foods, such as cakes, cookies, candies, chocolate, yogurt, and marshmallows, often contain unfamiliar animal ingredients, and so may be a special concern for vegetarians due to the likelihood of such additives. Feelings among vegetarians may vary concerning these ingredients. Some vegetarians scrutinize product labels for animal-derived ingredients while others do not object to consuming cheese made with animal-derived rennet. Some vegetarians are unaware of animal-derived rennet being used in the production of cheese.

and fathers, need to think about this. For that reason, it would be good to decrease the amount of meat that we eat. That is what I said.
I certainly did not say that you are not allowed to eat meat at all. That would be difficult. Whether it is because of previous karma or their present circumstances, some people cannot do without meat. This is how it is, and there’s nothing to do about it. It’s not a problem."
