Why did you decide to become a vegetarian or vegan?!

First it was the PETA film "Meet Your Meat" and then after doing more research I realized all the positive health benefits (As in documented health benefits as well as that I feel so much better now) and the environmental benefits, these new realizations solidified my choice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

though i read the book Skinny B*tch, i really didn't change the way i thought of it!. i am aware of what goes into our bodies, but i have reduced how much meat i eat every week to about !.5 lbs!. i love animals, and don't really want to eat them, but my mom won't let me be vegetarian because i have a weak immune system and need more vitamins and protein!. i am fighting for those vitamins so i can become vegetarian!.

Me personally!.!.!.

I love cows/pigs/sheep/etc in the same way I love dogs/horses/wildlife - how could I eat them feeling that!?

I think it is sick how animals are bred just to die for our dinnerplates, and most have a horrible life in the process!.

Then I figured my reasons for going vegetarian were the same as they would be for going vegan (male calfs/chicks killed inhumanely in the dairy/egg industry, inc!. free range) so I cut out all animal products!. I would feel awful if I gave in to a craving for something non-vegan, so I stock up my cupboard with lots of yummy vegan things, as they do exist!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I became interested in animal rights about five years ago with the intention of eventually going vegan!. I gradually gave up animal products and about two and a half years ago I went vegan!. Nowadays I continue to be vegan because of health and environmental factors, not so much animal rights anymore!. I don't think I will ever go back to eating meat or dairy!.

I am what you would call a 3/4 vegetarian!. I don't eat pork or chicken, the only beef I eat is Steak!. I will eat seafood on occasion too!. The reason I decided to do this is simple, I don't like the taste smell or feel of meat!. also, my body doesn't like it when I eat meat!. I break out, have intestinal problems, and it makes me lethargic!. I get my protein in lots of other ways though, like lentils, nuts and soy!. Hope I helped!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
