This past summer, I ended my two year commitment to vegetarianism. Though I still have a largely plant-based diet and hold vegetarianism in high regard, I found myself unconvinced by arguments I had previously believed, and unmoved by thoughts that had previously disturbed me. My understanding of nature had changed from a fuzzy, peaceful picture to a world of struggle and conflict; if nature is violent, who am I to deny it? Yet I still felt the pull of vegetarianism, and was not ready to completely leave it behind. When I had to choose a topic for this project, I saw it as an excellent opportunity to explore vegetarianism more broadly. My hope is to explore vegetarianism outside the bounds of my reasons, and to get a broader perspective on why one might become a vegetarian.
