effort. I was never that fond of meat since childhood and could take it or leave it, unlike a couple other family members who are near carnivores. The ethics of meat production and the environmental impacts also influenced my food choices.

Only after reading more and a doctor mentioning impt. elements in meat and protein I started adding it to my diet, primarily fish.
