I read an article about 15-years ago that said that Bacon Butties were the prime factor in vegetarians transgressing.

I can believe it.
I genuinely can't be around people if they're cooking or eating bacon. The temptation is just too much.
I sometimes question the idea of certain species only liking certain things...
Cats aren't supposed to like vegetables, but two of mine do to the point of being problematic. There's not much my beloved Swatty will get into the garbage for, but he can't resist collard greens. His brother Lamar steals cabbage off the chopping board if I turn my back. The two are ex ferals, though they were domesticated at least a year apart. (Lamar was in bad shape and was an easy catch, Swatty was the ringleader and took awhile.)
I have noticed some of the other cats have unexpected preferences. Kore prefers

Being a carnivorous apex predator probably helps too.

I suspect the reason/s underlying this dietary preference would determine whether or not there is any temptation experienced.

I still eat meat but I lost my desire for sex a long time ago, and then when I read what Baha'u'llah wrote about earthly desires I never considered it again. It is just there for others to do if they like it.Even when i go shopping for food, i do not notice the meat section anymore. it is just there for others to eat if they like

I didn't say it was not tough, I said "the emotional part to totally get rid of" is much tougher. Alcoholics know this, because they say "you stay alcoholic, you just don't practice it (as in don't drink it)"
I fully agree, the physical part was 'hell'. When I did this cleanse to overcome addictions, I had tremendous headaches for 24h/day (barely slept, so much physical pain), could barely walk, and fainted when standing up. Shaking like crazy. But that only lasted ca. 4 days.
To really get rid of even all the thoughts of my addictions took ca. 21 days fasting. Much more hard to achieve.

It is physical anyway. You have to eat at least some meat products or you will get sick. Strict vegetarian is not good for you.

The best way is to go strict vegetarian and it will become apparent soon enough.Why? As long i get all the vitamines, minerals and proteins i need from planter based diet why would i start eating meat again
Our physicality is omnivore based. We are not herbivores.

I Am a strict vegetarian
and the little craving i did have for meat is gone. No looking back.
There are at least a billion vegetarians on this planet. I guess they're all about to die off soon, right?

And everyone of them has taken substances from animal based sources.
Especially Retinol and B12.
Just where in the world are you getting this information?

Eggs have enough B-12
Yes, back in the early days of India when vegetarianism was also a big thing, the village medicinal doctors were well aware of Retinol and B12 deficiency. They made their own little tablets to hand out.

Eggs are animal products albeit one needs to watch cholesterol levels.
