Why did you decide to become a vegetarian?!
Answers: I know my reasoning. I'd like to know yours :)
Well, i've never liked meat to begin with. I've learned at a very young age about how animals are treated just for the sake of some fattening, artery clogging slab of meat.
So, I just refuse to support that cause. I honestly have no desire to eat it.
I'm all for animal rights, I just can't stand knowing what they go through. They were not put on Earth for us to eat.
Also, I love knowing i'm not eating rotting flesh, it's a good thing to know, really. Also, I am really healthy and I feel better than ever.
I grew up in a veggie family. But now do it for ethics, health, environment.
Ethics is the main point, I would not want some entity to eat me or eat my children. - I would not want anyone to treat me with such horrid conditions.
I have a lot of reasons for my decision, I don't want to cut and paste a lengthy answer here so I will link to to a previous question that I answered about it (I got the Best Answer)

You could've searched the hundreds of questions that are exactly the same.
i'm not totally there yet, but trying hard. (i have lapses.)
i do it for many reasons. because i don't want any of my money to go toward supporting businesses that support factory farming or unethical husbandry practices. i do it because it's a wasteful use of the earth's resources to pour our grain into meat animals and then eat meat, rather than consuming the grain directly. i do it because methane from factory farmed animals is seriously contributing to global warming and to the destruction of rainforests. i do it because it just isn't necessary in this day and age for any creature to die in order for me to get fed.
It makes me feel better not to eat meat
I like seeing animals happy
Not dead
makes me sick
A medical condition decided it for me.
I had the choice to either have peti maul seizures and eat meat - or take medication that stopped the seizures and forgo the meat because it makes me sick to my stomach.
