Answers:
My choice is , ethical, spiritual, evnironmental and mainly health reasons!. I dont eat meat or anything cooked, because I dont want to get cancer, heart disease, or have a weak body and mind!. The funny thing is most vegetarians, eat the same high fat diet as the rest of america!. I am differant than most veggies though, I dont eat anything denatured, (cooked, or changed in anyway)!. I eat only Fresh Raw Organic Fruits and veggies!. Every so often I eat a handful of seeds or nuts!. Rarely though!. I eat no grains either!.Even all of my hydration comes from Fruit and Veggies!. I rarely drink anything!.
This is for WOOJU , do you seriously think that humans cant coexist with the rest of the animals in this world!? That statement is absoulutly insane!. If humans could remeber what its like to not only take but give back and not be greedy, we could coexist just fine!. But as long as people eat meat, drive their big suvs and popping out tons of children and so on and so on!.!.!.(being takers) yes we will not coexist and will for sure kill ourselves!. But if we could as a whole just pop this bubble we live in away from nature, we would once again be part of the cycle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

This is my opinion!.
If I were a vegetarian, it would be for health and environmental reasons!.
I have no rammifications to my spirituality!.
It is also my opinion that a human cannot exist on this world without a negative impact to the kindom animalia!. So the only purely "ethical" way for a human to coexist with animals is to kill themselves!.
I can tell ya that ain't gonna happen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

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 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 child is taken away so quickly, so humans can have the milk versus the calf drinking it to live the calf is feed very poor lacking 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!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

My original reason was ethical only (aged 16 I decided one day that as we do not need to eat animals to be healthy I was not going to do it anymore), and has grown to encompass the others, apart from spirituality as i am a woman of science!.
