I abstain from meat for a combination of reasons, neither of which are ethical!. While I do love animals and will most likely become the crazy cat lady when I grow up, I have no problem eating them!.

I'm more worried about environmental conservation!. Slaughter houses/the meat packing industry is pretty bad for the environment, and we waste a lot of resources just to raise livestock!. Cows need lots of grain and water to survive, so we're wasting a LOT of money for one burger!. We seldom use the whole animal, too, so a lot of waste and pollution is created!. Land is constantly being cleared for farms and grazing areas!.

If I were to hunt my own animal for consumption, I would eat meat that way!. My boyfriend's uncle hunts deer, so I'm not against eating venicen!. That way, I know where the animal came from, that it was used entirely, and that pollution was minimal!.

I also feel better not eating meat!. There's so much **** in processed meat!.!.!. my body feels a lot better without all that in there!. That goes for all processed foods, though!. I try to buy organic and healthier foods when it's not too expensive (I AM a poor college kid!)!.

I also spend less money at restaurants and the grocery store :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

I turned into a veg!. years ago when I got turned off by cartlidge in meat!. Nothing worse than chewing and biting into something that dont break down!. I turned back since then but still get grossed out by certain meat!. I pick at meat until it dont look like meat anymore than decide to just fill up on veggies!. I dont like fruit all that much!. But all veggies are good!. No matter what kind!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was a vegetarian and I did that because I don't really like meat!. But now I'm a vegan and I decided to do that because of my believes about animals!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

When I first became a vegetarian, it wasn't for health!. It still isn't for health!. I gave up meat for moral reasons!. Though!. I am healthier!. I don't think that's because I stopped eating meat though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I became a vegetarian because I have always loved animals and I always felt bad for eating them and after watching a peta video were the animals were getting tortured I stopped for good!.

I used to eat chicken!.!.!. our house also has chickens from which we get eggs (but we don't eat the chickens we have) and and i realized: I'm eating that! So i stopped eating meatWww@FoodAQ@Com

Not for health reasons but for ethical reasons, I am not as concerned with what I eat as I am with what I am buying!. I just don't want to support factory farming practices!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was born a vegetarian,
never tried meat, fish or egg in my life!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
