Kinda, I love animals and I just think it's hypocritical to say that whilst eating them; when there really are plenty of alternative meals without meat. I've never been a big fan of meat anyway, and didn't eat it much before, so it wasn't a big deal to make the switch.
And I can't drink milk because I'm lactose intolerant, and very rarely use butter. It's cheese and eggs that are the big factor for me, as well as loads of other stuff you would never expect; sauces, beer, bread, honey, some kinds of sugar, that sort of stuff.
