If vegetarians...?

Question

think eating meat is wrong.Why dont they think eat vegetables and fruits is wrong?

Answer 1

Not all vegetarians feel that way. Some do it for health reasons rather than the 'killing animals is wrong' reason. I eat a primarily vegetarian diet with a little fish or chicken mixed in for protein. I'm a lot healthier as a result. Eating too much meat and dairy products are simply not healthy for numerous reasons.

'Nuff said?

Answer 2

That's a bit silly to talk about fruit and vegetables like they are the same as animals. If you don't get the whole idea of vegetarianism you probably won't. It is a serious choice that a person makes one day to stop eating the food they were made to find normal their whole life or at least the first part of their life. It's very hard once you have made that decision to try and leave it out of your diet.
A lot of people are switching to vegetarian for health reasons but alot still are more traditional and believe in animal rights just like human rights.
There is enough going on in the world today without the sensless slaughter and I think we are well educated now days to go for the alternatives to meat.

Answer 3

Erm, people need to eat!

I'm veggie by choice, vegetables and fruits don't have brains, hearts and vital organs like animals.

Besides my rule of thumbs is; If it's got a face don't eat it!

I lost 4 stone too when I converted!

Does anyone know any fat vegiatrians?

"Nearly a third of men in England will be obese by 2010 if no measures are taken to tackle the problem, a government report warned on Friday.

A quarter of adults are already obese with the level nearly doubling among men since 1993 as the consumption of "energy dense" junk food rises and levels of physical activity fall.

Answer 4

If I cannot kill it, I don't eat it. When I pick fruit from my cherry tree or eat a tomato from my garden, I feel fine. Would I swerve my car for a leaf that still has living cells - no, but if there is a golden puppy I certainly would. I have much more respect for people who hunt down their own food rather than people who go to the grocery store and buy their styrofoam packages of meat and tell me they wish they could give up meat. This is stated from someone who has been a vegetrarian for more than 20 years.

Answer 5

answering as a vegetarian for four years I'll tell you that there are many reasons for becoming a vegetarian. My reason is because I just don't like the idea of animals being killed for food when we could easily eat fruits and vegetables. While they are still living things they aren't exactly put through pain when they are picked and eaten.

Answer 6

For the most part vegetarians eat fruits vegetables and dairy and eggs

Some become vegetarians for health reasons, (Beef...It's what's rotting in your colon). Others become vegetarian because they don't want bad karma on them for killing an animal or because the inhuman why the animals are treated and killed.

Vegans eat no animal products or by products, only fruits, vegtables, and starches. Some vegans won't even wear animal products or by them for any reason.

Raw vegans only eat fruits and vegtables no rices' or flour products I believe.

Some fruitarians feel

"Fruit nutrition is a very simple concept…from fruit alone, the human body has evolved to produce everything else it needs to stay energetically alive for more than 100 years…

Every doctor, every nutritionist in the world agrees that people need fruit and fruit is the best food stuff for long term health, weight control, longevity and detoxification…but the fruitarian say:

WE CAN LIVE WONDERFULLY WELL ON RAW FRUIT ALONE!
The Fruitarian lifestyle includes avoiding all cooked food and consider it non healthy for the individual and pollutant to the environment, causing unbalanced nutrition, all kinds of disease, mood swings, cravings for synthetic nutrients and chemicals, decrease of vitality, loss of external beauty and loss of inner happiness, depreciation for life and lack of wisdom. All of these consequences we can identify very well in modern civilized societies!"

some Breatharians feel

" A breatharian is a person who is nourished by light and has no need for food or drink. Breatharianism is within human potential, but for most it remains dormant. Those who feel drawn to living on light nourishment can activate this potential, but not said that it is an easy task."


I hope this is helpful to you. God bless

I kinda agree with vegmaleah. I've been veg for 5 years this Thanksgiving. and to answer that one guy...yes I do know fat vegetarians...those who survive on french fries and coca cola and consider themselves healthy.

I personaly feel that everything has a consciousness and plants just can't scream...I actually read about this study where the told the plants that they were going to burn them and they gotsome kind of reaction, (wild I know), but go figure ...I just try to eat healthy vegetarian for me.

Answer 7

Vegetables and fruits are plants, a lower form of life /consiousness then an animal...don't need to eat animals to survive...try to cause the least amount of harm in my life. Many reasons for vegetarianism...this is just mine. Smile.

Answer 8

Common sense. Meat used to be an animal that was treated inhumanely and slaughtered. Vegetables are not raised in small cages and do not feel pain and have no emotions

Answer 9

Veggies and fruit are not sentient beings.
But that's not the only reason for being vegetarian.
It is far healthier to have a vegetarian diet than it is to eat dead animals. Dead animals carry diseases which are transferred to the eater.

Answer 10

Plants don't have central nervous systems, nerve endings, or brains ... in other words, they don't feel pain! It's pretty easy to understand. Animals, on the other hand, definitely feel pain.
Unlike animals, who cry out in pain and fight for their lives, plants do not. When was the last time you heard a head of broccoli squeal? Never! And trust me, carrots in kitchens around the world aren't hopping off counters to avoid being sliced, shredded, or julienned.
