why r ppl vegitarians?

Question

i mean meat has good protien in it

Answer 1

Got me. I love my meat.

Answer 2

I am a Hasidic Jew and also vegetarian because I believe that the modern meat industry goes entirely against the laws and spirit of keeping kosher. Judaism permits eating meat, but also forbids causing suffering to the animals. In the past, kosher meat was raised and slaughtered more humanely, but this is no longer the case. Today's kosher meat comes from the same cruel factory farms as non-kosher meat, the only difference being in the moment of slaughter. Even PETA acknowledges that kosher slaughter -- if done properly-- is humane. But what about how the animal was raised? If you could walk through a commercial chicken farm (as I have) and see how the chickens are treated, you would soon lose your appetite for chicken soup. (Unless, heaven forbid, you are a sadist who enjoys watching things suffer.)

Answer 3

People are vegetarians for a wide variety of reasons. Some people love animals so much they cannot imagine ever harming or killing an animal, even as a source of food.

Some people believe the way many animals are slaughtered is inhumane and refuses to eat any kind of meat for that reason.

Others believe that good sources of protein are available elsewhere in nature, so consuming meat is unnecessary.

I had a friend who was a vegetarian because it takes discipline to find other sources of protein and to not eat meat or other animal products. I had another friend who simply does not like the texture of meat, and so she also won't eat things like patties made of mushrooms because they have a meat-like texture.

Some are worried about preservatives, antibiotics, or other medications or unnatural things that are given to animals before they are slaughtered or are added to the meat later.

Others are vegetarians for religious reasons. Some cultures revere certain animals and think of them as holy. Others think that all life is so special that even killing pests is wrong, so they will not kill animals for food.

There are almost as many reasons for being vegetarian as there are vegetarians. I hope some feel comfortable enough to share their personal stories with you, and I wish you a better understanding of this lifestyle that people from all walks of life choose.

Answer 4

Mainly for health reasons, study has found
that vegetarian lives longer than average life
expectancy. If I'm not mistaken, that's the
one done by American Cancer Society and
by other research around the world.

When God first created the world, this was
the food that He gave to Adam in Eve.

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall
be for meat (food)." Genesis 1: 29

The life expectancy of Adam to
Noel's flood as recorded.......

"And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred
and thirty YEARS: and he died."

The longest ever recorded......

"And all the days of Methuselah
were nine hundred sixty and nine YEARS: and he died."

After Noel's flood, there was no veggetations, God
allowed man to eat of the flesh. Since then, the human life's
expectancy was recorded the most is seventy plus years
but if for any health reason, you could live more than that....

"The days of our YEARS are threescore YEARS and ten; and
if by reason of strength they be fourscore YEARS,......"
Psalms 90: 10

Answer 5

Because they flunked 8th grade science. Remember when we looked at plants and stuff under the microscope? If you look at a fresh slide one of a plant and one with a meat product you will see live cells on both slides.
Vegans don't place value on ALL life. They have no problem eating something that was alive, but lacked the ability to scream, run, bleed blood that looks like our own, or look cute and fuzzy.

Me, I've accepted the fact that I am an omnivore. I, just like all other humans, require vegetables, fruit, grains, legumes, AND meat in order to maintain a healthy body.

Answer 6

I'm vegetarian because I believe that animals are slaughtered, unnecessarily and unhumanely for the so-called benefit of the human population. The American, meat-industry is horrid to say that least, and I cannot believe I spent almost 19 years of my life eating meat.
Being a vegetarian is better for the environment and it is hundreds of times healthier than a meat-based diet! I'm proud to be a vegetarian, and I couldn't be any other way!!!

Answer 7

Personally, I am a vegetarian because I started feeling guilty about what I was eating & didn't enjoy the taste of meat. I've been a vegetarian for over 16 years & I am living a happier & guilt free.

Answer 8

People like me are vegan because I beleive that I can eat without killing an animal, so why do so. Animals are animals, I wouldn't eat my dog, so I'm not going to eat a pig.

You can get protein, iron and calcium from things other than meat (even though meats are the traditional way to get them) Soy beans, peanuts and any other beans have tons of delicious protein. Iron you can get from brocili and other greens. Calcium is great from delicius soy milk.

Some people are like "because theyre stupid more meat for us" and I dont care what they think. Being a vegan is for me, and its what i beleive part of being a good person is to have morals and this is just one of them.

Answer 9

This question has been asked over and over because you want to annoy someone. Maybe not you but almost everyone that ask that question is trying to do. If you have a brain in your head you would know(no offense) Everyday, every hour, every minute, every second people talk about the rights of animals. And people still ask why we try to save them.

Answer 10

i am a vegetarian 4 a few reasons:
1) i was born a vegetarian and i havent eaten meat once in my life
2) i think eating animals is wrong- how would u like it if someone ate u bc u "have good protein?"
3) if i ate meat now i would get sick

Answer 11

they are vegetarians because they do not endorse the slaughter of animals. vegetable protein , while not high in vitamin b12 of sorts, keeps the blood flowing without hindrance, your cholesterol levels at a all time low, and so many other benefits too numerous to mention. hey! i got two questions for you. why did you short-cut when typing out your question. it wasn't that long & haven't you heard about a dictionary? i don't know about you but i consider bad spelling to be in bad taste.
