I can't say that it was one definitive moment. I've always had something of a distaste for meat to begin with, as those close to me had always been aware. For the sake of my parents I had initially begun as a pescetarian, and slowly transitioned as I became responsible for my own cooking. It's always suited me quite well, and was never a difficult decision.

On the other end, there's a great deal of social stigma to it around here, despite vegetarian options being quite easy to come by, actually discussing it is quite difficult, being in one of the...redneckiest...parts of Canada for lack of a better term. Otherwise, I have no issues with it. I've enjoyed it, and it's suited me quite well. I've never missed meat because it never held any appeal, be that because of ethical or simple taste reasons.

Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

I have considered it, and it's a transition I would probably be willing to make after having looked into it further. I'm a little on the fence about it still, but I'll be trying to do a bit more looking into the actual ethics of the non-meat animal based products, that would require me to be cutting out, before I do so.

Heehee "groovy" is something a lot of people get on my case about saying all the time :D
Anyway, having now seen it, it does present a very good case. I hope to make the conversion as soon as it becomes entirely viable for me to do so. Thank you.

I often use a combination of Adobe flash cs8 (or CS6), Sony vegas, and on a few occasions Adobe after effects.
