Poll/Survey: (For Vegetarians Only!)?!

I went vegetarian (and later vegan) for the sake of animals. I saw a video called, Meet Your Meat about how animals are raised on modern intensive factory farms. I was utterly shocked and slumped over my computer in tears, wondering how anyone could be so cruel to animals!
Heres the video:

It turned out for the best because I love vegan cooking, now, and I love trying new foods!

Recipes that I like come from these sites :)

I hope this helps!

Well, I have a couple of reasons as to why I'm a vegetarian.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine gave me a challenge: to go a whole month without meat. And so I did. From the moment I began that one month journey, I felt healthier and I'm not just saying that. I started eating WAY healthier and lost 60 lbs in the process. I would say that going veg was a wise choice for me :)

Ethically, I believe if we have the resources and the food to produce the nutrients that we're getting from animal by-products, then why sacrifice their lives if we don't necessarily have to? There are other sources of proteins and fats and such. Why should the animals have to suffer if we can live well without eating meat? This is their land as well, after all.

ethical reasons whether it is healthy or not didnt affect my decision but fortunately it is healthy so i dont need to sacrifice my health for my morals.

Banana Mango Pudding

1 banana
1 mango peeled and pitted
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup coconut milk

Place all the ingredients in the blender and blend until it's a creamy consistency. It will be thick and pudding-like, but it doesn't keep for very long without separating, so blend it right before serving.
NOTE: if you want the pudding cold freeze the banana foe 3 to 4 hours the banana will be half frozen and will cut easily.

I thought it was just wrong to eat animals. Why eat farm animals? thats just like eating your own pet. Another reason I became a vegetarian, it was because it would better for my health. Studies show that compared to meat eaters, vegitarians are 50% more likley to NOT have any heart issues and 60% less likely to get cancer. There are many chemicals and excess hormones given to animals being slauthered and it's not healthy to consume all those chemicals and hormones. Even thought organic meat has no excess chemicals and hormones, they're still animals. Humans are like animals. We're mammals, just like dolphins. ( I like dolphins.) Eating meat is liking eating a person. Its wrong. I have no problems with meat eaters or non vegitarians. Most of my friends eat meat, I don't care or say anything really. They respect that I'm a vegetarian and I respect them. (:

I'm a vegetarian because I believe it's wrong to kill animals for pleasure. I would reccomend you look at taste.com and go veg.com for some really good recipies. As far as my favorite foods go...quesidialls, speghetii and margarita pizza.
