Slowly becoming vegan

Just wondering if any one else experienced this. Over the past few months I've noticed that I can't stand meat and I've started to see it for what it is and it makes me feel sick. It's starting with dairy products. I feel like my body is rejecting animal products. Am I going crazy. This is not a troll post and I'm not taking the piss.

Similar ish .

Been veggie for 30 years, went off eggs years ago so never eat them unless cooked in something as a minor ingredient.

Last few months have really gone off dairy. Started when I read some weird thing about pus in milk (Now discredited) but it's really triggered a dislike of animal products.

Dropped cheese and using Violofe, dropped yoghurt, have milk in tea but that's about it

I used to work within a certain sector of farming (small scale). This is a bit outing so I'll fudge the details, but two women died within two years of each other from the same sudden and very aggressive cancer, and they had both been eating a lot of a product that comes from a farm animal which will also die of that cancer if nothing else intervenes. When I searched I found there was a big study that showed a link, and predictably another big study later to refute the link. But I'd rather take all animal products out of my diet now.

My partner and I are in the process of slowly becoming vegan over health concerns relating to the meat and dairy industry.

Meat is an easy one for us to cut out, as neither of us are that fussed by it. Now that we have eliminated this from our diet we are slowly working on the dairy...milk is easy but cheese I'm finding quiet hard to eliminate... hopefully we will get there!

I have been veggie for years but ate dairy and eggs with joy and abandon. Went off eggs fairly quickly a couple of years ago and the thought of them makes me want to vomit and now I often think of pus when I think of cheese so it makes it a bit easier to drop that too! I obviously never had any real desire to eat meat but the thought of it now makes me react in a way that I imagine most people do when they think of gnawing into the raw, bloody leg of a human. It is really strange as it seems to have changed quite quickly and for no clear reason but I am almost completely vegan now and it makes it much easier this way so not going to complain!

@mrbob sounds exactly like my experience. Can't face eggs and haven't for ages.

I have milk in tea and coffee, but have vegan yoghurt and cheese. I'm sure I have milk or dairy traces in food but am exclusively vegetarian and largely dairy and egg free.

I'm going to start B12 supplements and try to cook more

I feel the same.
After having my baby in December I’ve gone totally off meat - the thought of eating it literally makes me sick.
Last year at work a girl who was vegan was talking to me about the farming industry etc and I think that has stuck in my mind.
I have stopped drinking milk and have almond milk on cereal and in coffee.
I was a massive meat eater and loved dairy so really surprised that I’ve gone down this route.
Maybe it is because it is ‘easy’ to be vegan/vegetarian now with restaurants and coffee shops catering for different dietary needs.

I am starting to feel the same about dairy and meat and trying to cut it out but struggling to change my ways!
