Why are you vegetarian or vegan?!
Answers: I am because I don't believe in killing something to be satisfied, what about you?
I do it for the cool title of vegan.
Same here. Secondary reason is that I believe it is more healthy for me, my heart. But a year ago I watched those PETA movies about the slaughterhouses, and it made me sad enough to quit eating animals.
I believe YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT, and I just don't fancy myself as a dead animal
I'm neither. I looked into becoming vegan for health reasons and I've added more vegetarian dishes to my diet, mostly because I love vegetables and like trying new things. I will never go vegetarian, though. I like eating meat on occasion and enjoying all the dishes at parties. Also, I haven't had caffeine in 12 years and getting people to understand that I don't consume caffeine is hard enough, I wouldn't want the headache of adding vegetarianism to it. Also, I grew up on a dairy farm and was a nationally ranked meats judge in 4-H (that involves knowing way more about the slaughter industry than you want to know). I'm perfectly satisfied that there is nothing immoral about eating meat.
I respect vegetarians/vegans, but I must add that this board has really disappointed me. I came on here looking to find interesting ideas and vegetarian recipes and ended up finding questions that are designed to bring out name-calling and further divide people rather than look at our common ground.
To help put a stop to world poverty and because of ethical reasons. We buy the grain for animals cheap from poor countries, which only makes them poorer. And I can't stand eating animals when you don't need to. There are so many alternatives today that we can substitute. I don't see the sense in having to kill an animal for food.
plants and algae are living things, no?
After seeing how cruelly animals used for food are treated I decided I was no longer going to support it.
I'm a long-time vegetarian who's recently become vegan. For me, it's about reducing exploitation of animals and of our planet and its resources as well.
Same.
I learned at 2 that meat was made of animals, and quit eating it then and there.
It's not fair to the animals to be killed for another's lunch.
me also. Also because of the way they treat them before actually slaughtering them, i have read that a vegetarian saves about 100 animals a year. I thought if one vegetarian can do that much for so many animals, then y not.
1. Eating animal products is unnatural.
2. Eating animal products is unhealthy.
3. Eating pus, blood, and sh*t is gross.
4. I refuse to fund horrific animal torture.
i am becuase they tortue animals jsut for humans to eat them which we don't have to obviously since there are vegans and they're not dieing and if there were more vegans in the world there would be less hungry people about 10%
