I'm not vegetarian but raised my son is one. I think it's just a more responsible and healthier way to live. He's 10 now and has stuck with it even though his mom and I eat meat. I've never been veg but she was vegan for many years. Her health suffered (tho not specifically from that) and she went back to eating meat. I would say stick with it if you can. i eat mostly vegeterian but I do love to eat meat sometimes. Everything in moderation for me...

Also, Gza is the greatest. His talks on science and astronomy are pretty cool. he has a great interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson.
