Meat... :( We could all live without, but this damn learned behavior...
Start easy, cut out 1 animal you don't eat too much of and go from there. Once I stopped eating beef, pork and lamb I felt weird about eating chicken, so just stopped altogether! (amongst other reasons)
Good luck on your journey!
I did so for greenhouse gases reasons. First I stopped with beef, never enjoyed lamb (poor young thing), and several others. Pork pretty much, too, but sometimes I still eat it, same with chicken. Not at home, there are amazing alternatives for sausage and 'meat'. But when eating at restaurants, I have issues eating vegan or vegetarian due to some intolerances. And eggs are still a problem for me. But I buy from a source where male hatchlings are not getting shredded.
Same reasons I stopped initially too! I think just being concious about what you're putting in your body is always a good thing, and if you're still eating meat / eggs / dairy, knowing where those things come from and how they're actually harvested is good.
Like you say, sustainably sourced eggs are great! I love eggs so much, always a treat when I get them when we're out for food!
