Is anyone here a vegan/vegetarian?

[Ringlets]

There are quite a few of us!    
I am a .. hmm.. octo-lacto- pescetarian.. I  always label myself as a vegetarian TBH cos its easier for people to understand and i get confused when I try and figure out the correct term for what I actually am (I do eat dairy, eggs, and seafood, but no meat/animal products like gelatine or poultry)    I have been a "vegtarian " (or whatever the correct term for me is) since 1996 when my dad used to have farmers magazines and I read all the awful stuff in there about the meat industry and diseases etc.  It was the final push for me since i had never ever liked the taste or texture of meat/poultry anyways and the stuff in those magazines made me feel sick 
My mom followed me later that year, and my husband decided  the same in 2005 since he liked my cooking and wasnt too keen on meat himself. It was completely his own choice
