if anybody here is a vegeterian ,can he/she tell me the reason??why you eat vegetables?

Question

which is for you the difference between animals and vegetables for you?vegetables live,grow up and dye the same...

Answer 1

Its a moral issue for me. I believe humans are here to help take care of the Earth not ruin it. The meat/dairy/farming industries are all incredibly bad for our ecosystem. Animals are grown as crops, mistreated, and pumped full of hormones. This is not healthy for us. Most of the agriculture (especially in the US) is covered in pesticides and genetically modified so much that its not even a veggie anymore. I try to buy from small local farmers as much as possible. I would rather support my fellow local man than some corporation altering my food. By being a vegetarian or vegan, people are boycotting the industrialization of our food. I think it is a necessary movement and it must continue.

And F*ck PETA...its too commercialized and star studded, it's missing the point completely. F*ck anyone willing to hurt humans to save animals. All life is important, from the trees to the ants. Peace!

Answer 2

i'm a vegetarian. i had eaten meat my whole life, but after studying philosophy and ethics, i decided that i couldn't justify eating meat any longer. its not necessary for a healthy life, and animals often suffer a lot just because we like the taste of meat. Not causing unnecessary suffering seems to be the most basic component of any morality.

why do i eat vegetables? for nutrition and because they do not suffer. whether or not something is alive, grows and dies is not morally relevant. If it were, then we would have to extend ethical consideration to microbes. What is morally relevant is whether or not a being can feel pain and pleasure. There is no doubt that animals do feel, and as such that they do deserve moral consideration. I'm sure you agree with this position. Think about it, haven't you ever pulled up a weed, burnt some brush, cut down a tree, etc? Would you just as easily strangle an animal, light it on fire, or decapitate it? Of course not. Why? Because you know that there is a moral difference between plants and animals. You know that even though that weed in your garden is alive, growing, and will someday die, it doesn't really feel anything, and thus you don't need to give it moral consideration. You can light it on fire and not feel guilty. Do you really believe that you can light a dog on fire with just as little moral consideration? Unless you're insane, probably not.

Answer 3

I have been a vegetarian, and a non vegetarian. When I was a vegetarian, I felt that it was wrong to "produce" so many animals, and keep them in such unnatural circumstances, just to feed people. It just felt morally incorrect.

I am a non vegetarian now, and prefer to eat small amounts of meat from animals that are raised naturally, and in wholesome circumstances.

I think that vegetables are beautiful, healthful, and that they have life, but are not aware in the same way as animals.

So far, humans need life to sustain their own. Whether it comes from animals or vegetables is a personal choice, and depends on many things, including culture, religion, and availability.

I live in the U.S. and get pretty much anything I want, at any time of the year in the supermarket. But not everyone has this access.

Answer 4

I'm no vegetarian, but I live with one, so I've herd it all before. First, there are the helth aspects. Vegetables are much healthier without all the fats and what not that you get from meat. Second, you can't communicate with a vegetable. Not that we communicate with chickens either, but animals can be pets and companions. Third, we as a society don't have to kill to attain nourishments(including protien... hello? it's called soy milk! ;-p). We know how to keep our bodies running smoothly without killing. And last, the people who do eat meat are more likely to suffer from heart attacks and high blood pressure in their later years, not because of the meat, but because of the typoe of things served with the meat. Long winded I know... sorry!

Answer 5

You know, our bodies were made so that we could eat all kinds of stuff-- we're omnivores, and we have choices. I wouldn't have invented a food chain where some animals have to eat other animals to survive, but since that's how it is, I don't have a huge problem with it.
The problem is that we're HUMANS, so instead of letting our prey live a normal life before we hunt the weak and aging animals to eat, like normal predators, we raise animals in filthy factories, in tiny cages so full of urine and feces that the humans who work in them can hardly breathe. Then when we send them to slaughterhouses, we save money by not killing them properly, so many animals are slaughtered alive and suffer horribly.
As for vegetables? The truth is, we have to eat something. We are part of the food chain. Since I know animals suffer and are less healthy for me to eat, it's pretty easy to choose vegetables. We have no idea whether vegetables can suffer, but we don't torture them before we eat them, do we?
p.s.: that's why, if I'm going to "cheat" and eat meat, I'll eat something like crab or wild-caught fish (I can only eat seafood; it's been so long that other meats make me sick). ...At least they got to live a normal life before they were caught!

Answer 6

Your argument is retarded.
Seriously

Lettuce isn't sentient, you're assuming it is-- it doesn't exhibit behavior ANYTHING like a grown mammal.

And if you go ahead and lewldy assume animal=plant life then you're still killing trillions in excess when you eat the animal. WHY? Because the animal has to eat something-- which is either other animals or alot of plants and 90% of that is energy lost to Entropy.

90% WASTE

how far down do you go? The micro-organism = life!!!
I just sneezed. I'm not fkn sorry, you stupid tool.

Answer 7

I'm a vegetarian and I do it because I think it is wrong to assume that a living creature should give up it's life for me....

There is plently of food to eat and sustain life without the bulls*it that accompanies meat eating...

Of course the usual comment is...but plants are alive...well I give thanks to those plants...but I have to eat something...I don't think the ploughing down of forests with huge chains adds to our way of life...it detracts from who we should be striving to be...

I also think the way animals are bred, treated and terrified on the way to those death houses is horrific...

Not to mention the way millions of abused, neglected and abandoned animals are treated...it's time the human race realized that we are all here to live our lives as peacefully and pleasantly as possible and the earth and it's multitude of animals, flora and fauna are not just here to quell our lust for power and conquest...

I asked a similiar question months ago and I didn't get a decent reply...just the usual reply...they taste so good bullshi*...

Answer 8

I'm a vegetarian. My diet is a bit crap really 'cos I'm not keen on vegetables either. But by the time say a carrot has grown, if you didn't pick it it would die anyway.

I'm a vegetarian because of my love of animals and I consider us as equals.

Though I feed my pets animal food stuff because they are carnivores and need it to stay fit.

Answer 9

i'm going with to be a vegetarian in general for well being reasons. i've got faith much less poisonous. i've got faith greater sparkling headed, lively and emotionally balanced. there is lots crap interior the beef obtainable for mass intake those days and so i could extremely merely dodge it. vegetables are no exception, so i attempt to consume those that are organic and organic to boot as entire grains and soybean products. i don't get colds. i'm by no skill ill. it extremely is that factor of the twelve months and each-physique's quickly to be getting despite the fact that that's it extremely is "going around" pass determine, I breathe a similar germs they do.

Answer 10

I am a vegetarian, and while the health aspects are a contributing factor, the real issue for me is the gross-out factor.
When I look at a piece of meat I see flesh and bones. Flesh and bones that once belonged to a living creature, but that is now chopped up and cooked. Often these previously living pieces of flesh belong to mammals. I am a mammal. I have flesh that looks just like that. It's just too gross.
