    I was not vegetarian at birth. (my parents are not vegetarians) Nor did I become vegetarian when I was a teen, because I'm not a girl. (Vegetarianism is "cool" like Twilight or the New Kids on the Block for girls, but not cool for boys, at least not in my high school in the early 90s) Rather, I became a vegetarian when I was 34.

    No both of my parents eat meat. I became a vegan at age 14.

    Yes. My parents, grandparents, great and great great grandparents, as much as I know were all vegetarians, for religious reasons. Everyone I know, uncles, aunts, cousins - all vegetarians.

    No I started a little less than a year ago and I am 15. I plan on sticking to the diet, and have been wondering how I am going to raise my future children...and I haven't made a decision yet. I mean, I want them to make there own decisions...but I don't know.
