Developed a passion for vegetarianism recently after watching a documentary that changed my views on meat-eating. I love the fact that it protects animals because of the individual abstaining from meat consumption.
i love meat i could never stop eating it
I can respect that. There are some who are just naturally indoctrinated into abstaining from eating the meat of sentient beings, because of codified ethical motivations through religious beliefs.
Yeah my girlfriend is vegan so i respect tht
Yeah, I haven't quite delved into Veganism, since it includes abstaining from all animal products. I have trouble giving up eggs and dairy. She'd also have to get rid of using beeswax, leather/silk clothing--anything and everything made from animals. It can be pretty restricting.
So some people wont even use chapstick?
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.
Semi-vegetarian diets
are unknown.) 
Views of different schools.
There is a divergence of views within Buddhism as to whether vegetarianism is required, with some schools of Buddhism rejecting such a requirement. The first precept in Buddhism is usually translated as "I undertake the precept to refrain from taking life". Some Buddhists see this as implying that Buddhists should avoid meat consumption, whereas other Buddhists argue that this is untrue. Some Buddhists do strongly oppose meat-eating on the basis of scriptural injunctions against flesh-eating accorded in Mahayana
