I'm a vegetarian still! I've been a vegetarian for 10+ years now.

!! Even before I was a vegetarian, I never liked meat that much. The taste, the texture, anything.
Part of the reason I decided to retire from veganism at this time is because of the resources. Without the right alternatives, whether it be in vegan foods or supplementary, it can be very dangerous. I have been feeling very weak and tired all the time because I do not get the appropriate amount of protein, nutrients, etc... and basically have been living on a very restricted diet. At this time, I not only don't have the drive that it takes to buy vegan alternatives and vitamins/supplements, it's also extremely expensive, and I definitely can't afford it.

"a more vegetarian person" Nnn
Vegetarianism definitely isn't for everyone. Some people can't live without meat in their diet. Actually, I'd say most people feel that way. My entire family eats it every day in some meal or another except for my oldest brother who is also a vegetarian.

Yep. After a while, you don't even crave meat! The same thing for being a vegan. Well, I only became a vegan on the 1st of January of this year, but after a matter of weeks, I stopped craving ice cream which I used to eat almost every day

And pizza which is like my favorite food ever besides pancakes!

I understand it. Most of the alternatives and substitutes don't come close to the real thing as far as taste. Some people simply just LOVE meat. The taste of it and everything
