Some people don't have an easy time being vegetarian, some do. I tried it, and didn't have any cravings or desire to eat meat. Now, when I smell it cooking, the odor is very disagreeable. I still eat eggs and cheese, drink milk. I have a couple of hens in the back yard for eggs and I buy organic milk. Our organic laws in the US are the only method to insure milk cows aren't treated with cruelty. I suspect this is also true in most of the EU.

I was diagnosed with hypertension when I was 29 years old, but when I stopped eating meat, it went away (nobody knows why).
