Reply To: know any frum vegetarians or vegans?

I am a fallen vegetarian. In the US, I started cutting back on meat in my early forties, because I sensed I was not processing it well. Then on rabbinic advice ( i asked) we stopped eating a certain hashgocho. I had once been motivated to forswear the badatz and rabbanut schecita in EY, and subsequent wide breadth reading and certain events deprived me of any charata for hatoras neder. My family put tremendous pressure on me, so from yomtov to yomtov, I eat one k’zayis of what the local roshei yeshiva eat. To casually eat meat, it would have be something that ate only grass, and shechted in my presence by someone known to me.
