So, it might not bother you now, but after many years, you may have a change of heart (or rather, digestive system!).

I think I'll be okay -- when I came out of my semi-veggie stage, it was because I was on a school trip and vegetarian options were limited, so I ended up eating a huge (and I mean HUGE) cheeseburger because I was starving. You'd think that after not eating red meat for six years, my stomach would have been unhappy with me, but I was completely fine.

Maybe as I get older it will start to bother me, but at this point I'm not that worried.
