It didn't happen for me like that, all in one fell swoop. I started to realize decades ago, as I became more educated about nutrition, that heavy on plants / light on animals was a healthier way to live. Then when I visited websites like Meat.org, well, I certainly pushed the envelope and eliminated almost all animal products from my diet. That was probably around 2009. At this point I am almost vegan, but I still take half and half in my coffee sometimes and I'll still sprinkle the odd bit of parmesan or bleu cheese on certain foods once in awhile. AND (oh I'm gonna take heat for this) every so often, like once a month maybe, I'll eat a few Wendy's .99 hamburgers, or roll up a piece of ham and eat it with a piece of swiss cheese!!! I'm not a vegetarian because I don't like animal products... I eat this way cause it's the only truly health conscious, sustainable and humane way to co-exist with this beautiful planet and its many blessed life forms. And of course the more documentaries I see (God, get Netflix, AMAZING!) and being introduced to people like Brian Clement and TheRealTruthAboutHealth.com really helps me to stay on track for the most part.

Now when i remembered, it "puts certain commitments on me". I think, i'm at the doorway of more conscious way of eating and behaving myself.
