Are some vegetarians for real?!
Answers: i know some vegetarians really do can't eat meat for w.e. reason but can one reason be that they don't want to be fat or unhealthy from the meat? just wondering, no offense to any vegetarians - i'm all about the environment :)
Yeah, I am one. I don't like how animal meat raises my cholesterol and risk of heart disease. My cholesterol is already high enough.
I want to live really, really long and when I do go I want to go peacefully I don't want to be laying on the ground in pain clinching my chest.
I was vegetarian for 13 years for health reasons and for the animals.

no vegeterians just normally dont feel eating animals is good!!!=0)
I am a vegetarian from my birth (in India, this goes by caste, religion etc.) and so grew up as a vegetarian and never felt the need to eat meat etc.
Some people belive what they eat form their body and brain so they try to escape animal and its products . This is smth not easy to accept at first but by the time they get used to it
well it depends...some became vegetarian because they dont want to eat animals because they have pity on them...some is because of religion...and some, they are in a diet..hehehe..
i am vegetarians i dnt care weather i become fat .....and i m already little fat........if u will survey vegeterian people are more fatty then people who eats non-veg.....but we dnt eat because of our religion .......our religion dont allow to eat non-veg meal or any animal......they belive that we dnt have riots to kill any living things and eat ....every one has life......
There is no better environmental protection than animals. We do not look after them. Every single one of them looks after us. From the Tiger to the vulture to the cockroach to the butterfly to the earth warm, there is not one animal that is not there.
I mean, in which way, does not impact well on our life? Let's take one example. When I was young my mother used to tell me the story about a king who could not be killed because he put his heart into the heart of a butterfly. When they kill the butterfly then only the king could be killed and it is quite; rue. My life and my son's life depend on that butterfly’s life. Why? Because butterfly pollinates flowers. If you don't have the butterfly you won't have the flowers and if you don’t have the flowers you won't have the insects that live on the flower. If you won't have the insects you won't have the birds that if you don’t have birds you don’t have the seeds that makes the forest; if you don’t make the forest you won't get rain and if you don't get the rain.
I remember one friend told me very proudly that these vultures used to come and nest in his house and so they cut down all the trees and drove them away. This is how we hurt them away, we hit theme call them dirty and so now the vultures have disappeared. There are no vultures in North India. As a result single village has a crisis, a medical crisis because when earlier the animals used to die or when they are used to be a garbage the vulture would clean it off. Now there is nobody to clean it up and so the carcasses lie there completely putrefying and stinking.
The green flies and the butterflies sit on it. They then sit on people and spread disease. So many villages that I have seen where they take the carcass of dead cow and throw it into the village pond, spreading disease to every single person who drinks from that, play in that and wash the clothes in that and why because one bird has finished there, one vulture has vanished there.
Let us look for instance at the cockroach. Now the cockroach is the worst possible example. No body likes cockroaches. You know the first reaction you have when-you see a cockroach "Mummy kill it, kill it, kill the cockroach", where the men and women run, but if we did not have the cockroach you and I would not be sitting in Chennai Today. We would not have a single city in India or the world. The human being produces very poisonous feces, urine, sweat. Even a little new born baby that is still suckling at its mother's breast, even this the nappy waste is extremely poisonous. Now when we have a bath, when we spit, when we go to the bathroom, all this comes out, through the sewage. Now and when it comes through the sewage it goes into water body and this goes into water body and now if it were to go into a water body untreated, within 15 minutes we would have no water body left because all the waste are so poisonous. As soon it goes into the sewage, the cockroach eats at and then the cockroaches' waste is totally biodegradable.
The cockroaches' waste is harmless because he has been invented by mankind to clean up your filth and make it biodegradable. He is therefore invented for sewer. When you get into a kitchen it is not that the cockroach is coming there to say Hello to you all because he likes your face. If you leave filth in the kitchen sometimes you can't even see the filth you left. This poor chap comes out to clean up your filth and go back, or not go back if he is killed.
Let us look into the Meat. The single biggest environmental crisis in India, Forget the cruelty that you cause, forget the fact that these animals are killed with great pain and suffering, and that pain and suffering becomes all part of our Meal. How are going, to suffer? Let us look at the economic side One goat eats two and half hectare of land before it is killed. This goat belongs to the people who do not have land because if they have land they do not grow goat, the; will grow soyabean. Now this goat and all his brother's and sister's, where do they feed? They feed only in two places i.e. what is known as free or common land belong to me and you which are important for our survival. They either feed in the jungle or they feed in on the hill side.
Whenever the goat feeds he pulls out the roots: Goats don't feed like cows. When
they pull out the grass it will never grow, again because the top soil-starts flying. There is no grass to keep the top soil it starts flying, and thus it creates pollution problem and Asthma etc., There will be no growth on the earth. Now when it destroys the hill part, all the little rivulets of the water may dry. So you have no water. When the goat goes into the jungle, they finish every little tree that is growing, every little bush that is growing. People cut trees for wood and for other things and on the other hand you have no more little trees growing because the goat has eaten it. So you have
now forest cover less than 6% that is why sometimes you have the rain, sometimes you don't have the rain. We no longer have climates. We have weather conditions
changing from day to day, because we have no regulatory mechanism.
Yes, there are plenty of people who are vegetarian for health reasons. Meat contains a lot of saturated fat, cholesterol, hormones, etc. Some people steer clear of meat and use vegetarian alternatives(vegetables, grains, etc) for nutrition(which contain less fat, cholesterol, etc).
