Why I'm on Vegetarian Diet after Meditation

It seems like there are people  out there who are not happy to see others on vegetarian diet. They would say sarcastic remarks like there are monks who are also eating meat. 

For those who do not know, the Theravada monks who go out for alms will eat whatever people offer which include meat. Whereas the Mahayana monks mostly from China, Taiwan and Singapore are on vegetarian diet. 

However if you read one of the five precepts set by Buddha, one should refrain from harming living being. Buddha prohibited his disciples from taking life for meat. If you specifically request and pay for the meat, you are encouraging someone to harm another living sentient being so that they can earn money by harming the sentient being. The person will want to expand his business to cater to huge demand for meat. 

For me, after practising meditation and chanting Om Mani Padme Hum mantra, I don't have much desire to eat meat. I felt like vomiting after I had some meat after chanting.( Does anyone has similar effect?) 

Monks are different, they do not ask specifically for meat. They accept whatever is offered to them when they go on alms. 

As for me, since I'm a lay person. I do not want to pay for a meal that cause another sentient being to suffer just because I crave for the meat. After meditation and thinking of animals suffering stop me from eating meat. Anyway, nowadays there are lots of delicious vegetarian food. If you think about it, it is not the meat that is delicious. It is just the seasoning coated on the meat that is delicious.
