Been vegetarian for almost a year and I rarely miss meat. It was easier than expected to rule it out of my diet. I can't stand when people say: "Oh man I could never be a vegetarian, because *insert list of greasy tasty things*". But truth is they have never tried so how can they say such a thing? It's based on nothing.

And indeed there's the occasional douchebag who seems proud of eating meat and gloriously state: oh, you're a vegetarian, I'll have something extra meaty then. Some people are just oblivious.
