but if being a vegetarian is really important to you, then I don't think you should have to eat meat to be polite. I have only been vegetarian for three months, but I have found that I had to: If this is a decision you have arrived at after significant thought, stick to your guns. I have found that most people are reasonably receptive to it even though they may not personally agree. Good luck.

1. figure out what I really wanted to do
2. politely explain to people that I no longer eat meat
3. and occasionally give further explanations to people who keep pushing at me
4. oh, and sometimes ignore a few people
