My personal story was covered in a previous discussion. The intent of this wasn't necessarily to talk about veganism but to explore what makes people stop and re-evaluate their lives. I look around and I see most people in automatic mode, very few people seem to actually stop in their lives to think and question the reasons why they live the way they do. Animal suffering happens to have been my awakening, but I'm sure there are plenty more examples out there which I could learn from. That was the aim of this post and hence the title.the one thing I see missing from this thread is how you actually come to the decision to be vegetarian.
I'm not sure if you're asking me or in general. If you meant how does one become vegetarian in the first place, I'd say information. I don't think most people understand the pain that is in their plate. I find your title misleading
