check out a website such as "meet your meat".  I have only been a vegetarian for 5 months.  I grew up eating meat.  I do not miss it one bit.  My husband is a veggie too and has to cook meat at the restaurant he works at, but because he has seen what happens to animals in slaughter houses, etc, he has absolutely no desire to eat it.  Even though he touches it, smells it and cooks it all day at work, he is totally turned off because he knows it is dead rotten hormone and antibiotic laden animal flesh that sits in your colon for months at a time.  check out these sites:
