[As one of the lone vegetarians in the Midwest, this has an impact on everyday life] and leads to numerous conversations with belligerent cowboys. -Ha, Cowboys.

-Kinda sounds like you miss meat
-last remnants is repetitive
-You could shorten it a bit to allow for more about your personal decision to become vegetarian. E.g. The last time I've swallowed a piece of meat was eight years ago, when I licked the remnants of a Shepherd's pie.
Some perceive vegetarianism as a dietary choice, but for me it is a life path with roots in appalling cafeteria victuals.

Vegetarianism prevents many of the health problems sweeping America, pushes back against inhumane treatment of animals, and moves the planet towards a more sustainable existence.
