It's great. It's healthy and you don't have dead meat from animals in you, especially pork which hardly breaks down in your stomach. Eating meat (except for pork, any fish that Does Not have scales AND fins, farmed raised animals, and non-organic meats) has not been proven to make you live longer nor live healthier.

I'm Asian so I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat whole a lot of meat. To be healthy, the important thing is balance. Meat and fish does its goodness for your body if consumed modestly and carefully. Personally, I think processed vegetarian/vegan food products taste nasty. This kind of vegetarianism is totally a part of American/Western culture(not the case of Indian Buddhists). I'm a chef and we hate picky vegetarian customers who gets freaked out about every little thing in their food. Go home and make your own food! Think about other people on the planet who doesn't even have enough to eat.

I have no problem with vegetarianism.
But, I am very tired of pushy, arrogant, demanding, intolerant vegetarians pushing their lifestyle on meat eaters and constantly negatively judging anyone who eats meat.
Oh yes. One more thing. The only good vegetarian food is Indian food. Western vegetarian food is CRAP (unless it's a caesar salad). Why? Because it's all about simulating meat. Indian food does not.

I like being a vegetarian and it is for moral reasons. I wouldn't say that I'm on a self-righteous crusade because I love animals. I care about what happens to them. I don't like to hear about animals living on concrete floors or hung up by their legs to get their throats slit. When I see an animal, it doesn't make me hungry. I don't understand how other people overlook what happens to the animals before they eat them. Either that or they don't care, which I definitely can't understand.

Most of the health benefits come from other factors than not eating meat, like a wide range of fruit and veg. Veggism isn't intristically any healthier, and there are benefits to eating meat too, unlike propaganda sites like PETA and affiliates like goVeg say.

I think it's great if that's what you're into. It's healthy, and it makes animals happy not to be eaten. I'm too much of a carnivore, myself, but I applaud vegetarians.

The most recent research suggests that sticking to a vegetarian diet protects you from cancer and heart disease and diabetes. Refer to "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell, PhD.

i'm all for it! i personally couldn't live off of a vegeterian diet because i like to have an occassional hamburger. several years back, i cut red meat (only) out of my diet and i dropped a handful of pounds but that venture lasted only several months. It takes a certain motivation to maintain such a diet. i find that those who have certain beliefs incorporated in their personal philosphy (i.e. animals are not meant to be eaten) tend to be much more successful.
