The earths thin crust is filled with tiny little orgasims called flora and fauna. Divided into kingdoms the plants the animals are separated by unique form and function. Species, which is a common bond that the two kingdoms share are each unique and diverse.
I just cannot fathom why you wouldn't want to eat all the differant plants and animals that you possiblly can.

you're asking an ethical question. commonly, a reasoning for eating meat isn't an ethical one. It really comes all the way down to searching it gratifying to eat meat, which could be a valid argument, notwithstanding it may no longer be considered a 'moral' argument. contained in the present society, there is not any unshakable moral argument for eating meat. Any moral argument would in some unspecified time sooner or later use that no longer eating lifeless meat is one of those waste (as an party, even as a cow dies after having given distinct milk). notwithstanding, meat intake in maximum societies is so severe that no longer eating it and giving it to somebody else (who does eat meat) would bring about known a lot less favor of cattle.

Have you heard of the saying: One man's meat is another man's poison. I think it is christian saying.
Well we all have very different moral values. Especially eastern and western values.
Believe me there are people in this world called jains who even walk about carefully because they do not wish to kill an ant.
It is morally wrong to kill something alive which has blood in it for those who are vegetarians by religion. Like hindus and jains they do not eat meat at all. They will not kill anything because they are hungry. There is enough food in the world, in their opinion, which can be harvested, which does not need killing something with a knife. They will not eat flesh of any kind.
Those are their moral values. There are others who are vegetarion out of choice for the same reasons or for health reasons.
It is not wrong to be vegetarian. In fact, it is considered healthier as the meats do not get digested and stay in the stomach for a long while where as vegetables are digested faster and excreted faster.
Animal fat also has other organisms and chemicals.
Vegetarians will not kill an animal because they are hungry. They may kill the animal if they are attacked. Each of us has very different moral values. Some of us do not care about stealing other people's property or imposing our views on them or changing their identities or anything. There are so many different examples.

Because animals are on a closer level to humans that plants are. Animals feel pain and they don't want to inflict pain on animals. There are numerous reasons why, personal health reasons among them, but personally.. I like meat and I can't get enough of it xD screw veggies I can't stand em :x
I have friends that are vegans and vegetarians though and thats what they always told me, they just can't stand being the reason that animal was killed.

I think being a vegeterian is just a way of not having to see and hear the painfull cries of the animals. Instead they settle for eating plants ,who by the way are also living things. The only difference is that they can't hear them screaming.

Most 'moral' vegans abhor the way the animals are treated in life. They have a point, when you look at how egg-laying chickens are housed and how feedlot cattle are produced. It really is an inhumane system.
On the other hand, unless I'm going to raise my own meat, there really is no other option, 'cause I damn sure ain't gonna stop eating their delicious asses.

Ok...Paul McCartney's former wife Linda died of cancer--and she was a Vegetarian! Also,to eat vegetables means you have to "kill" them by removing them from the ground! Animals in nature eat the weak/sickly members of a herd! Is that BAD? Vultures eat animals that have died on the road and in nature! Should they be stopped? To each his own of course! I just wanted you to T H I N K.

In the Bible, when Peter tried to refuse to eat meat or some other foods because they were "unclean" God responded by saying something along the lines of "There is nothing that I have made that is unclean". Its not about what you CANT eat or do its about the Freedom of all the other things you CAN do.

David C and crazy s both have great answers. Let me just add that I haven't eaten meat in years and am very healthy and have no desire ever to eat meat. I just don't need to and I don't want to, so why should I? I'm not saying you shouldn't. It's a personal choice. Everyone should decide this for themselves.

Because they feel bad for all the tasty little animals. And really, are plants not living things to? Are there not plants that are sensitive to touch and will move if you touch them (yes)? Does a hurt tree not bleed sap? So maybe people should stick to water and that's about it. ; )

I imagine there'sa a variety of reasons for a vegitarian. A couple that I've heard are: It can simply be a matter of thought of the animal. (some have vivid imaginations) And another is the texture itself. And another yet, is simply one's idea of better health, minus meat.
