No.

Vegetarian since birth



The only people that are causing farmers to go out of business are the big meat manufacturing factories, unless of course the factory buys from them. Also, it is in a way unhealthy because it's very hard to keep your Iron up, I have to take supplement pills but that's the only problem I have with being vegetarian but I'm sure there are other problems, but I haven't run into them yet and neither have the people I know who are vegetarian or vegan.

Food Inc. and I'm Vegetarian.



Meat farmers? Are you kidding me? If you're thinking about Old McDonald in his little dungarees rearing happy little pigs, most of those are already out of business. Pig farming and Chicken farming are mostly run by giant corporations who rear animals indoors in crowded conditions. They have to be pumped full of antibiotics so that they don't get sick because they are so closed together which is really great for the health of the people eating them.
The employees wouldn't be on great money. In fact, many of these corporations will just pick up and leave if a fuss is made about environmental issues or pay to staff and just go to another country where they are desperate for jobs.



Come on woman, get a grip. What ever happened to freedom of choice? No people should not stop being vegetarians just like people should not stop eating meat. You can live a perfectly healthy lifestyle with or with out meat. Perhaps you need a little more education on vegetarianism?



no it's not detrimental to our health. and farmers? you think i'm gonna feel bad about homocidal greedy farmers? and bussinesses? these farmers and the money around it is an effort to ruin peoples health and to ruin the world as quick as possible. totally unbalancing the food chain... and look what's happening in that little town called usa, full of poor people not insursed, always sick, and must pay to see a doctor, and all they can eat is meat as mcdees. why can't you just open up your eyes and accept these facts? i don't judge you cuz you choose to sponsor homocide and government corruption by eating meat so don't judge me for supporting vegans, and being a vegetarian.

wild guess, you were paid to post this up?



i am a vegetarian. the animals live in very bad conditions and they are bred only to be killed. i would be happy if they go out of business, (check your facts, they are not going out of business).
i am healthy, my colleagues fall sick more often than me, of course they eat meat (according to u healthy).
there are lots of diseases people get from eating meat, not the case with eating veggies.



It's not detrimental to their health. Having a bad diet is, and that's an affliction that affects veggies and non-veggies alike.

Veggies are a minority. I think the farming industry is safe for a little while yet.

What's it like under that bridge?



actually it's perfectly healthy. even the ADA says so. http://www.eatright.org/about/content.as…

also, a person doesn't have to support a business if they don't want to. if i don't agree with the way meat is produced why should i support it?



People should stop being vegans. Being vegetarian is fine; I couldn't do it but I don't really care if you don't eat meat. There are plenty of meat eaters as well, meat farmers are not going out of business.



Don't worry. Ignorant people like you who believe the meat, egg, and industries' propaganda will keep them in business.

vegan :D



No, because its very healthy and it helps save animals.

People should stop eating meat. Its bad for your health, the animals and the enviroment.



maybe you should learn a little more about that way of eating before you go and make false comments about it.

vegan.



Contradictions!

It's not good for their health, true (because you don't get all the nutrients you need), but how can it be putting farmers out of business? Is it not the farmers that grow the fruits and vegetables? People shouldn't eat red meat, but a diet of fish and vegetables/fruits would be good.
