What makes you eat vegetarian/vegan?!


Question: What makes you eat vegetarian/vegan!?
Why did you decide to say no to meat!? I think I get the gist, you don't want animals to die so we can eat an etc!. but what was your main reason!? The thing that made you say, "Okay, that's it!. No more meat for me!."

If everyone shared that notion, what do you think should be done to keep the animals from over populating themselves!?

Are some of you vegetarians that still eat fish!? How does that not constitute as meat!?


I am just very curious and yes, probably ignorant on vegan-ism and vegetarianism but that's why I am asking!.!.!.!.!. Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Personally, I made the decision at around 7!.

The reason that people began to eat meat was out of necessity!. Hunting food was easier than making sure a crop would prosper yr round!.

Nowadays, that isn't the case!. For those around the world who eat meat out off the same necessity, I understand!.

However, I am fortunate enough to not have to take the life of another being for my survival!. I think you could understand and agree that animals do feel pain and I do not want to nor need to benefit from their pain!.

I don't think that my choice will change the world!. But I see it like this;
Various things I am not fond of will occur either way, but I still don't feel that justifies my participations!.


Now to answer you on the overpopulations part!.
These animals like cows, chickens, etc!. are mass produced for meat productions!. If these industries ended, so would the mass births of these animals!.

The ones that eat fish are pescetarians, not vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

For me, it was not so much that animals died to feed humans!. In my opinion, that is natural!. What convinced me was the way in which animals *live* to feed humans!. Factory farms mistreat animals in ways that make me sick to my stomach!. If anyone treated cats or dogs that way, we'd be howling for blood, and I don't think farm animals deserve mistreatment any more than pets!.
It is just the nail in the coffin that factory farming also trashes the environment in a dozen different ways, and that Americans don't need to eat meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner in order to be healthy!.
Others, of course, feel differently!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why did i do it!?!? they way you treat the littles of animals in life shows how much you love everyone while you live!. If that makes any sense!.!. LOL!.!. for me!. i gradually stoped eating meat it wasn't all at once!. i didn't wake up one day and never eat meat again!.!. the animals only overpopulate because we forced them in small tight areas to breed!.!. and we have push animals so far out into areas where they can't really move around that yes!.!. they are overpopulating!.!. and another thing!.!. we as humans came up with the idea of "overpopulating" the animals where here for YEARS before we were!.

No i don't eat ANYTHING that had a face!.!. includes fish!.!.

for one!. meat is discusting!. i cant even look at it!. id rather look at a nice healthy furry cow!. than a slab of meat!. number two, its better for you, eating vegitarian/vegan equals taking many cars off the road!. and number three, farmers treat animals horribel, they keep them locked up in cages anf they arent able to move for their entire life!. and have very little movement!. some people do still eat fish, but fish is a meat!. so actually they arent really vegitarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Im not a vegetarian but i want to just say my opinion!. okay first of all people; if you knew the video contained the killing of animals, why would you watch it!? meat is healthy for you, probably more than plants or whatever the hell you eat other than meat!. meat makes you stronger!. i could NEVER be a vegetarian , not if you paid me!. like i get the whole '' you're killing poor animals '' !. who cares!?! how do you think the cavemen survived !?! by eating plants!?! i don't think so!. they killed bulls and animals so they could SURVIVE!. ITS THE WAY OF LIFE!. i bet if animals were in our bodies, they would eat us too!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Animals weren't apart of Adam and Eve's daily diet, was it!?!?!? Its healthy:)

Its just my opinion though!. No downing others' life choicesWww@FoodAQ@Com

I became a vegetarian when i came across peta's fur farm video's and factory farm video's!. i decided it was it because once I witness the horror of abuse they go threw I nearly fainted!. I am a victim of abuse and I felt as if i was experiencing it again!. I cried for a long time when I first seen the video's and decided no more!. I would not be a part of the abuse and cruelty these innocent animals faced due to the evil hand of man!. I know what it feels like to be beaten and not being able to fight back or get away!. I know the fear and depression they feel!. I am also a mother!. I feel for the animals who see there babies being tortured and abused before there eyes and then taken away to be killed!. It's that simple, I am for life not just with animals but for people to and I am not for abuse, I just can't support it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
