Why did you decide to become a vegitarian?!
Answers: Was it because you don't like meat? Or because you care about animals?.. I think if I were to become a vegitarian it would have to be because of my crazy love for animals! I already stopped eating red meats, even seeing red meat now just grosses me out. What made you decide to become a vegitarian though?
I became vegetarian when I was 14. I guess because I got to thinking about what meat really is, and decided that eating dead animals was about the grossest thing I could think of.
I went vegan 2 years ago because I started to really think about why I eat what I eat and where it comes from and realized that I was being pretty hypocritical to claim that I loved animals yet was contributing the abuse and misery of dairy cows and battery caged laying hens. Not to mention the suffering caused by the leather and wool industries. Then I thought about it a little further, did some reading, and realized that I don't think animals should be property of humans at all. So, I am essentially an animal abolitionist vegan.
Vegetarians don't eat any meat or meat products, including red meats, fish, poultry, sea animals, rennet (the membrane of calf stomachs, sometimes found in cheeses), or gelatin (boiled down and ground up animal bones, tendons and muscles, used in candies, yogurts, and marshmallows.)
Vegans don't eat or use any animal products, such as the previously mentioned meat products, eggs, dairy, honey, silk, wool, leather, fur, etc.
I stopped eating meat when I finally connected what's on my plate to the animals who suffer and die for it. Knowing that animal products cause unecessary pain and suffering, a vegetarian/vegan diet is healthier than an omnivorous diet, the livestock industry is the biggest producer of greenhouse gases and the primary destroyer of the rainforests, I couldn't eat meat or animal products anymore.
My mom has always been a vegitarian so i always have been to. So is my little sister and as for my dad he is in the army so its basicly just me my mom and my little sis :-( so wen my dad cums home my mom will cook him meet if he wants it but the site of it makes me puke! So realy I have been brought up to be a vegitarian!
Well, animals are really cute and shouldn't be killed by us and a bunch of my friends in school were vegans so that was COOL! Then I realized, that I like chicken and fish (SUSHI YUM!) and they're not really that cute so I decided I could eat them. And sometimes I really like hamburgers after school so I decided if I'm with my non veg friends I could have those sometimes. People are JERKS to hurt cute animals! Then I realized crabs are ugly.....

I'm wasting time? Obviously you haven't read many answers from "vegetarians" around here.
Ignore PSF11. He/She's wasting time.
Hi anyway, I hate how animals are treat, I feel really healthy and happy, going veggie made me happy!
I never liked meat anyway! - the smell, look, texture of meat is gross to me. So I gave it up overnight at 8 years old.
I hope this helps you. Good question... you get a star :-)
EDIT: Vegans eat no animal products *whatsoever!*
Vegetarians eat no flesh of any animal. So no fish etc etc :-)
look im not a vegetarian and you shouldnt be either you know why? well, vegetarian ppl say that we dont want to hurt animals and watever but if you beleive in god then you know that god put animals in this world for a reason and that is so we can eat them for food.
i was never really that crazy about meat, although i have to say as a kid i loved my bacon. i always felt a little guilty after eating it though. then i found out about the cruel way they slaughter animals and i gave it up entirely. i don't miss it either. the thought of eating an animal now makes me want to vomit.
i doubt that i will ever eat meat again, but i would feel so much better if i knew that the animals got to live a long, healthy happy life before being killed. then it wouldn't bother me so much when i see others eating them.
I did it for the ultra cool title.
