What are your reasons for being a vegetairian?!
Answers: i have been a vegetarian for 3weeks now, i saw how they treated thoose animals and i have never belived we should kill for food. how bout u? and another thing i was thinking about.... plants are alive too, and vegetarians dont eat anything that lived but fruits and veges lived too. think about it... also im not trying to start anything between u and me so no rude comments plz.
I choose not to eat meat because of animal cruelty. I actually really like meat but I can't knowing how baldy the animals were treated. It's like the holocaust! Plants on the other hand aren't treated with the same conditions as animals! Well not that that I am aware anyway. I only eat organic brands to avoid pesticides.
its part of my religion...but i still think it sucks to be a vegetarian
the poor animals getting killed
I do it for the ultra cool title.
I became a vegetarian (at 13) for ethical reasons. I remain one, oh so many years later, for reasons of health (who wants to consume hormones, antibiotics and pesticides?) and the environment. (Meat production creates more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined.)
Congratulations, and never let anyone tell you that what you're doing doesn't make a difference. It does.
its more about the feeling that animals have when they are getting slaughtered considering the nerves... with nerves, obviously you have feeling. from what i have learned, veggies and plants lack nerves therefore cant feel the pull.
and i dont believe anything should be killed if it had nerves, especially animals.
best of good luck being veggie [=
My mom brought me up as a lacto vegetarian since birth.
But I'd say the main reason people go vegetarian is for animal rights..
Other reasons people go vegetarian are health benefits, diets, People, Land, Air, Water, Efficiency, Animals, Health... ect..
here is a site which lists 101 reasons to go vegetarian its really useful :-)

Well good luck, you made a great change hope it works out for you :-)
well. it's a few things.
i'd always felt such an extreme guilt for eating animals. all i could think was "what makes my life more important than that animals?"
and the vegetarian diet is really much healthier.
plants are indeed alive, but the difference is that they have no brain, conscienceness, or central nerous system(they can't feel pain)
i've been going strong since age 11
(=
goodluck.
and don't let the haters get you down.
im a vegitarian now too,
i disbelieve in animal cruelty ,and honestly, plants and fruits dont live they only grow they dont live nor die so feel okay dont wonder or get upset.
im veg and proud because i am able to wake up every morning knowing im not eating a dead animal.plants are alive to but if you think about it, you dont hang them up side down and slit their throwts while they are still concious.because you cant.i dont even think they can feel it any way.
well the way i see it is if it can interact with me i will not eat it plants cant show you there happy cows dogs cats goats can they can interacte even though they cant talk if they could theyd say dont eat me you fat *** humans! and i hear that every time i look at meat
It's part of my religion too, but i also don't like the way animals are treated. Besides, there is a lot, A LOT of stuff you can eat as a vegetarian. And in general, it's much healthier than eating meat all the time. The fact that plants may be sentient, and suffering from our ill treatment is a risk we'll have to take until we prove it.
Animals are living things and I don't need to kill them in order to eat, so I became a vegetarian. I don't like the idea of living things being "mass produced" in farms, only existing to be killed. While I try to encourage others to live a cruelty free life, I also respect other people's choice to not be vegetarian, since I'd like them to respect my choice. Also, being vegetarian is healthier and better for the environment.
As far as eating plants go, plants don't have a nervous system, can't think, can't feel pain, etc. If I stab a carrot it's not going to scream or bleed.
I became vegetarian mainly because i hate meat, i never really enjoyed it. The way the animals are treated was also a reason i became vegetarian. Plants do not have brains, so there is no way that they could feel pain.
Health reasons
ethical reasons: why should they suffer?
environmental reasons: all the factory farms produce more co2 than all the cars and gmos and stuff....
about that whole living/nonliving thing, it's because of neurological (spelling) cells in animals. animals can actually feel pain, suffer, and have nervous systems and cells, or brains. but a plant does not. they do not feel any pain. at least that's what my position on that is.
I do it because of the way animals are treated. Especially chickens and turkeys, I quit eating cows and pigs before I knew of factory farms and the abuses the animals go through.
I did it because of the cruelty to animals - it's disgusting
But, as time went on I realised there were so many other reasons too; like for the environment and health ect
The thing with plants is that they dont have a nervous system - I wont eat anything that feels pain or that has emotions x
well heres sum interesting facts...animals are mass produced outside their natural habit...so are plants...plants dont grown in 100x100 metre fields naturally all lined up perfectly lol and if you stab a vegetable it does bleed...most people confuse this as its not red because they dont have red blood cells in their body... i just needed to clear up a few wild statements their...not being rude just being informative. oh and plants do die...they live on the ground and when you pick them there constant flow of nutrients from the ground stop...thus you are starving them to death before either drowning them...yes if u water a plant too much it dies....i realise that plants dont feel pain...would this make it ok to grow stillborn animals inside cows so when they are born they are dead and therefore have felt no pain??? no i think that would be clled an outrage...just think about it.
I chose Vegetarian lifestyle because of the animals.
I ate meat my entire life but for the past year or so everytime i see meat for dinner i get sick and i cant eat it. Because in my mind i know that little animal was killed for shi t reasons.
When i told my Boyfriend he just laughed and said "meat is man food so i have to eat it. and arent plants living too?" So the Veggie thing i dont really know about either.
