What turned you vegetarian/vegan...?

I decided to become veg after having pizza at my aunt's house (it was home-delivered pizza not home-cooked)... it was smothered in ham pieces and made me feel REALLY sick...UGH!

I became vegan after joining this site and learning about dairy farms, etc... and basically I wasn't having that much dairy anyway.... I had already been on soy milk for years and was cutting down on eggs and cheese...

This is a kinda cute story.
I was making a collage for art last year and i saw this ad, it said do it for the chicks and it had Darren Cordeux on it with the animals australia website and a cute little baby chicken which Darren was holding. I thought MAN he is hot so I went on the site curious to see what it was about.
I watched the Darren Cordeux exposes factory farming video on this site and was horrified. For the next six months I researched into it and yeah. I became pescetarian for a second time. The first time was before I started researching into it and I did it because I didn't like the idea of furry little animals being killed. I went back to meat because the temptation was too great and my parents were putting alot of pressure on me, but once I had my facts I stood my ground.
I want to become vegetarian as soon as possible eg when I can do it without having to listen to my parents. My dream is to eventually become sort of vegan but still call myself vego as I will probably eat eggs and stuff from my own produce.

That's my story. I have Darren Cordeux and his damn hotness to thank for all this.

i still have that poster and never plan to lose it.

Well as a kid I never really liked the idea of eating animals and when dad found out he started making cow and pig noises when I did eat meat - kinda hit the nail home that meat = animal bits ( musta had that dilusional crap happening). Then when I went veg dad didn't think it would last so being stubborn me I stuck to it.

8 years later start thinking bout the dairy and egg industry and researched. Went vegan last year april just before easter - figure if i could survive that without caving I'd last. Plus now I could never go back since I've seen battery hens for myself - really horrible but rewarding experience.

Sorry to spam you with so many posts but when you asked this i had to drag out the poster I was talking about and it's sllightly different to what I said. It says Giving chicks a voice up the top and Darren is sitting cross legged with little baby chickens all around him.
Then underneath it says Animals australia unleashed

A dvd with Daren from Kisschasey involving this website turned me vego. My friend lent it to me agessss ago when she first became vegetarian, and this website turned me Vegan (:

Oh, don't worry about it, it's fine.
But aw, that's a very intesting story.
But omg, Darren! I really like Kisschasy. I think he'd be happy if he knew it was him who changed you. [:

I know i love them too
And yeah i think he would,i would feel exceptionally proud if i changed someones life for the better

I want to meet him so bad just so I can give him a huge hug and thank him for everything. He is like my idol.
