is it a lifestyle choice for you or a cultural/religious one?
Well... both!
Some types of meat are banned by religion, and we mostly avoid it anyhow by culture (although it's not a super-strong prohibition, more of an afterthought), which is why I didn't find out until college that I had physical trouble digesting even the meat we could eat. I kind of found that alarming, just because both culture and religion are very strong that health takes priority over both, and if it ever came down to a choice of eating even the 'unclean' meat and going hungry, we're supposed to eat the meat. And if I can't eat the meat, then that's not an option. So I did spend some time trying to at least get back being able to do fish broth.
But mostly I just avoid all the meats as being not worth the trouble.
Are you avoiding eating meat for the philosophy of it or the religion or the culture or something else?
