It’s always interesting to read people’s ‘How I Became a Vegetarian’ stories. Here’s on from a journalist who went vegan in his mid-50s, mostly to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight: www.newsweek.com/id/189291

Here’s the first paragraph of the article:

More than halfway through my sixth decade, I have learned to live with the routine insults and occasional horrors of passing time—the daily aches and pains, the eroding senses (say again?), the too-frequent diagnosis of cancer and other life-threatening illnesses among my peers. I accept these blows, big and small, as the price to be paid for the joys I've known and whatever wisdom I've been able to acquire over the years. I accept them because, well, I really don't have a choice. There is one thing, however I will not abide: getting fat.
