The definition of a vegetarian, as read from a health and physical fitness textbook, is, quite simply, "not eating meat, or rarely eating meat." Veganism, on the other hand, is strictly adhering to the "eat nothing from animals" rule. We really need to remember these definitions.
I have been shifting around, and I rarely eat meat, but my family sort of forces it upon me; technically, I am a vegetarian. They won't cater to my wishful diet, so I do eat meat occasionally. When I am old enough to leave, however, I plan to pursue strict veganism because, well, I am a huge animal rights activist. Any meat that I do eat, I make sure that it was killed humanely and that it lived in rather nice conditions and that they were raised in a cruelty-free environment.
It's not that hard, really, if you have the will to do it. I tried it, and it was great, then my family came down on me. Sigh. If you're so concerned about protein, why don't you just try protein powder or pills?
