A Friendly Conversation: Exploring Omnivorous vs. Vegetarian Diet

[Diana]

I don't necessarily agree that most people don't really know why they convert to vegetarianism. Most are aware of basic research and many are health and ecologically aware. And even if people simply mimick others' behaviour, that's fine too because they will also benfit from the change and eventually realize the finer points of a plant-based diet.

As witnessed by this forum, it is not easy apparently for most people to give up meat. Therefore, it would follow that there must be reasons to commit to such a lifestyle change . . .

I don't know any vegetarians who don't have clear reasons. But then again, I don't get out much.

Things are not always linear or simple. There could be many promptings to make a person consider a diet change: health, media information, friends' and peers' views, higher-self messages, and on and on. If you think of humanity as a soup, the soup is getting healthier, cleaner, more harmonious, lighter. As long as the diet change isn't forced by law or outside force, the diet change adds to the evolution of humankind.
