I'm not sure how long you have to be meat free to call yourself a vegetarian... its been over a month since I ate any meat. I have eliminated it from my diet. Its healthier and its ecologically sensible. There is no downside. Its been something I wanted to do for years but never acted on it.

Seeing the pictures of animals suffering a result of the oil spill made me feel helpless... giving up meat gives me a sense that I am sparing some animal lives.
