With so many meat alternatives it has never been easier to be vegetarian or vegan. It can still be socially challenging, specially when eating out. However, once one decides to make the moral choice of ending suffering, no amount of "temptation" or peer pressure can overturn it.

I admit I still liked the smell of meat for years after becoming veggie. But concurrent with the smell was the mental image of the animal being slaughtered which was a way more powerful factor for me. Now I find the smell of burnt flesh, milk or eggs is quite disgusting. The human body is amazing at adapting to new habits.
