I saw an ad for some kind of purging diet thing, which I would NEVER do, but it had a picture of some of the things that live in meat and end up in your digestive tract. That was enough to turn me into a vegetarian almost on the spot. Eeeewwww. However, I gave it up when we moved out here to the country. If you walked into a restaurant - or someone's home for that matter - out here and asked for something without meat, they would look at you like you were an alien. At first it was weird, though. Everything tasted different than I remembered it, especially beef. If you're having trouble with getting enough protein from sources like beans, nuts, eggs, cheese, etc, you could try fish. It's probably a little easier transition for your body than beef. And it probably has fewer icky things living in it too. :-) I used to be a vegetarian, for sort of the same reason.
