I gave up pig first. Now I'm pretty well along on cow. If they'd come up with a really decent substitute to put in spaghetti bolognese...
Some of my best friends as a child were cows. It makes me feel sort of bad to eat them.
A few of my son's friends are vegetarians, and I talk about their choice in glowing terms to my son. I also make sure he knows he's eating pig and cow, not pork and beef.
I'd have trouble giving up dairy and eggs, even though I did my ethics course term paper on mass farming methods, so I'm familiar with the unfortunate lives these animals lead. A far cry from my grandparents' cows and chickens. :(
