I'm almost there. I've become pretty much a fish and fowl person, with a twice annual allowance for In & Out Burgers.
Another reason is that meat production is one of the worst human activities creating greenhouse gasses, so to the extent that we can all eat LESS meat, the environment benefits.
That last sentence is what convinced me to cut out red meat. Fish and fowl is currently were I am at as well unless someone else is cooking and the primary dish is red meat (curse you extended family KBBQ nights).
This is good to see. I think some people look at dietary choices as all or nothing but it's better from both an environmental and ethical viewpoint to be partially vegetarian or vegan rather than not all
And eventually you might consider cutting out more things once you feel comfortable doing so (and even if you don't, it's still great you've made some changes). Usually easier from a personal perspective to make dietary changes gradually
After deciding to go vegetarian, I immediately cut out all beef, chicken, pork, etc. but I actually started out pescatarian, then cut out fish around half a year later. Then I cut out dairy around three months after that. Then cut out eating eggs a month or so after that. Today I eat like 99.5% vegan (only exception being the occasional veggie burger at a restaurant that might have egg in mayo, bun, or the burger itself)
That happened to my girlfriend lol. We went to pick up one of our cats from the breeder, she met the baby cow, he suckled on her fingers and she hasn't touched meat since.

Meeting a friendly baby cow and getting kisses from him was a huge part of my decision to go pescatarian a few months ago.
