Answers: When you think about it, it's a way of life. Like a phiosophy really.

Heya Scottie,
I believe vegetarianism can be both a diet and a philosophy. There's a broad continuum of beliefs. Some may choose to be vegetarian or vegan for health or diet reasons. While others are deeply passionate about animal rights and the environment. Personally, it started off as concern for animal well fare and gradually developed into a part of my identity and moral philosophy. I'm not saying one is better than the other simply that people's reasons vary.

Good luck =)
I suppose it can be. It does influence your life choices about much more than just food.
And most philosophers were vegetarian....
I believe that veganism is my personal philosophy. Maybe not for all but it encompasses a large part of my life, and it has made me compassionate for other causes as well. Veganism opened me up to a bevy of issues that are destructive to humans, animals, and the environment.
I now try to delicately educate people on the human slave trade (human trafficking), child labor and sweatshops, starving communties, etc.
If it weren't for veganism I probably wouldn't be exposed to information about human rights violations that are occuring internationally.
I have taken many steps to reduce my impact on destructive corporate practices from stopping my animal-product consumption, buying fair trade, organic, and local as much as possible, and buying clothes from either second-hand stores (where my money won't go to "big business" but rather to my local community) or by companies whose practices in which I agree.
I definitely wouldn't consider it to be a religion but surely a philosophy.
Cheers!
No I don't think it is. I think what I might describe as my personal philosophy differs greatly from that of many vegetarians and vegans.
Being a vegan is a mall part of my life, one of my minor life choices - it certainly isn't a way of life for me.
Vegans and vegetarians are a hugely diverse group with an extremely wide range of views on every issue
In my case it is a way of life. I was raised a vegetarian. Its embedded in our culture and religious philosophy.
And as for Adam T, it wasn't really a hate question was it? It's all in your head.
Edit: He's gone lol
yes, it is, I was raised with many beliefs and philosophies. The only one I have carried through my whole life is vegetarian, now vegan.
Darn, looks like I missed the scratching and hair pulling...LOL
No, vegetarianism is not a philosophy, it's a diet.
Dude, you need to relax. Adam T is doing a number on you, and he seems to be winning. He has an important point: you are on a public forum, and cannot really expect answers that only satisfy you. Looks like you give as good as you get.
Anyway, to the question,
A philosophy is not a way of life really. Vegetarianism is a lifestyle that, like most lifestyles, is personal. There is a huge difference between being a vegetarian, and crusading against those who believe differently.
Trouble with crusaders is that they are blindly convinced that their way of seeing things is correct, and that makes them intolerant, and overly sensitive as well (a hypocritical combination). I don't know you at all, nor have I seen any of your other posts, so I am not levelling any charges at you. I just have a problem with fanatics, whatever their code, because they try to affect me, or criticise what I do.
Mind you, it is a good question!
well scottie your the only troll that seems to keep putting messages here designed to hate on meat eaters..but to fairly answer your question...no i dont beleive its a philosophy..more of just another choice we make.....for instance supporting a football club is not a philosophy its just a choice...i really dont understand why you post messages designed to get hate responses from meate eaters then say we are immature for posting similar questions???
its not spam and to prove i can be perfectl reasonable in answering questions view my answer for I want to become a vegetarian and I am 12 years old. How do I ask my mother?
im not stalking you...you answer every1 of my questions...how am i stalking you lol please explain that one to me???

im not filled with hate i jst dont appreciate lots of post from people designed to hate on meat eaters..look at my other answers they are perfectly fine unless someone has slated me then i will righfully defend myself as im sure you would...but i have done nothing wrong here..i helped others and even got top answer to help out a veggie so if the hate is true why would i help?
fine ill delet it if you delete your answer from my posts?? and then you can do what ever you want..but posting inflammatory post designed to hate on meat eaters is fairly childish dont you agree?

i accept veggies perfectly fine..what i dont accepot are veggies who preach or jst post things designed to hate on meat eaters in sum way...here your previous post What's the silliest thing you have heard about being vegetarian?..that would imply your assuming we are all stupid cause we aint vegetarian..you didnt need to post that...it had no value what so ever but you felt you wanted to..so why hate on me when i post somthing that makes fun of veggies???
