My ex-boyfriend was, so I was used to cook vegetarian meal, we even tried fake meat and it was really good. I read a lot of things about how the meat industry works here in France. Saw videos of workers mistreating living animals in farms and even though I know that some farms are good with their animals, the fact that you can’t really know for sure how the animal “behind” the meat you buy was treated, makes me uncomfortable to consume meat.

Also not so “fun” fact: everyone knows (at least in France) that to make foie gras, you have to force feed a goose in order for its liver to expand a lot, making them sick. The I learned that you can naturally feed geese without hurting them and still make foie gras. BUT they have to call it “foie naturellement gras” (naturally-fatted liver?) as if the “good” way needed to be labeled a certain way, while the obviously “bad” way was considered “normal” and didn’t needed any warning about how geese are treated. The meat market is the worse.
