How long have you been a vegan/ vegatarian?

A year in may i think. I was semi vegetarian (no red meat) for 6 months before that mostly because i couldn't just go cold turkey you know ^^

I've been vegan for 5 years this July. I've been eating a vegetarian diet since 1997-1998. I just remember being in high school in the lunch line (10th or 11th grade?)and suddenly being grossed out by the cheese steaks. *shudder*
Funny thought- when I was in 3rd grade a boy came up to me and told me hot dogs were made out of cow tongue. Of course I believed him, I was 8 and extremely gullible! To this day I still sometimes have a hard time eating vegan dogs;)

in australia, our brand of vegan ice-cream (So Good) tastes exactly the same as normal ice-cream, is available in every supermarket almost and has A LOT of flavours. It rules.

15 years baby!

Vegetarian for all my life, since my mother is (: and I will always be.

I've always been vegetarian, both of my parents have been since I was born. Never vegan though, I couldn't handle it. Cheese is too amazing.

ive been a veggie for 7 yrs

vegatarian for one year in May .

I am entering my tenth year now of not eating animals... and being animal concsious


:)

i was introduced to the idea of being a vegan thanks to my religion. ( i just started to consider it. if its my official religion, the least i should do is know a bit of something about it)

one of the "rules" which you follow ,if you can. ( it does mention that those who cant, shouldnt do it)
is : 40 days before christmas, 40 days before easter , and 2 weeks before 2 other smaller holidays, any product that comes from animals is forbidden. and this easter was the first time i tried and managed to be a "vegan" for 30 days. it became extremely appealing to me... so i decided the least i can do is be a vegetarian. so i just started, this week.
am sure i can make it, since i never really liked meat anyway. and maybe later on if i'll still like the idea, i'll try being a vegan for good, too.
its enough to think about how my grandparents used to "kill" the pig 2 weeks before christmas ( a romanian tradition, that was forbidden since romania joined the EU) ; or its enough to think about how the small stubborn baby chicken looked in my boyfriend's hands this easter . ( there was one baby chicken that was always jumping outside the small fence designed to keep them there.i gave this example, as to think of what comes out of the egg).
the only problem would be milk. which i really enjoy :|.

6 and a half years vegetarian. since I was 9.

Vegetarian for roughly 20 years and vegan for 3 years.

i'm 23 years old now, have been a vegetarian for 22,5 of those. also been vegan for a bit more than a year and some three months later on to see if i could still do it.

i know quite a few people who describe themselves as vegetarians but eat fish. let's just make it clear: eating fish is not vegetarism.
