Since I grew up not eating meat, I can't say it was my decision, but I would't change it, and never felt tempted to eat meat, I'm grossed out by the sole smell of it.

oh yeah i definitely agree with you. i'm not totally clear on why i wanted to be one but i wouldn't change it for the world

i would rather be **** my homecoming date.

stupid censoring... leave it to your imagination then

According to Wikipedia: Deep-frozen stomachs are milled and put into an enzyme-extracting solution. The crude rennet extract is then activated by adding acid; the enzymes in the stomach are produced in an inactive preform and are activated by the stomach acid. After neutralization of the acid, the rennet extract is filtered in several stages and concentrated until reaching the required potency: about 1:15000 (1 kg of rennet would have the ability to coagulate 15000 litres of milk).

so basically there are chunks of calf stomach floating around in your cheese.

well, not quite that much, but, ewwww it freaks me out.

luckily for me, my best friend is vegetarian, and she inspired a few of our friends to go veg as well, around the same time i did. we call ourselves the "veg crew" (lol) and we get together about once a month or so for "veggie night". sometimes we stay in and cook vegan dishes, sometimes we go out as a group. it's nice to have a support system!!

that's a great idea! :] unfortunately a lot of my friends aren't vegetarian. 

maybe i can convert them haha

First, I think this is a "how long have you been a vegetarian and why" thread not "let's debate vegetarianism" thread. It's also in the vegetarian forum, so it's not like we're going out to the mainstream forms and imposing our views upon you.
