What made you go vegetarian or vegan?!
Answers:
I became a vegan, because I do not like the idea that a cow carries her baby for over 9 months!. Than after giving birth, her instead of the calf getting the milk!. The calf is feed very poor foods so it can be a tender veal!.
As a woman,(I am 31)!. When I have my child, I would never want any person, to take away my child!. So I can not support a industry that uses that method dominantly!. I understand there are farms that do not, but 90% (by tyson, cargrill, smithfield) of beef and dairy cows in this country are raised on intensive farming conditions!.
Money is power!. I use my money to support companies that are ethically inlined with my morals!. I have a choice!. I choose to not support an industry that cause so many cruelties!. I also buy from companies that do not employee children in developing countries!.

I became vegan out of respect for animals rights!.
I also am capable of compassion, unlike my carnivore counterparts!.

I hate the way animals are treated, but I have to admit that I don't think that eating meat is a bad thing!. It is natural but just not for me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I first went vegetarian after reading Eric Schlosser's "Fast Food Nation"!. He dedicated a few chapters to the meat industry!. I was sickened and literally started crying!.
I subsequently watched the "Meet your Meat" videos and that further reinforced my decision!.
I haven't been eating dairy for a while now, but I was still using honey!. When I found out what bees go through to make the honey (their food for the winter!), I made the decision to go vegan!.
I'm glad you're back Scottie! I always love your answers!. :-)Www@FoodAQ@Com
