I'm a vegan, have been for a year and a half, I went vegan for animal rights. Would you go vegan/vegetarian? Why would you do it? Join Peta!! (People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals) It rocks!!! lolz go to google and type in "chew on this reason to go vegan" and watch the movie!! It's sad, it's what made me go vegan.

I would never do that. First of all, I want meat, and secondly , I have heard repeatedly that people would eat a strictly vegetarian diet develop considerable health problems if the meatless diet is continued long enough. To me the whole idea is a useless fad, nothing more.
About the only meat I will not eat any more is veal, since I disagree with the idea of turning a calf into an anemic wreck in a confining cage.
But I love the thrill of pushing a big, yummy cheeseburger right down my throat.

I eat meat., not a lot but I do. Could I go Vegan/Veggie? Maybe. It seems like a lot of work to me (im generally lazy J/K) and its not something I'm passionate about.
This is what I'm passionate about at this moment... PETA.
I have issues with PETA, I appreciate people being passionate in their beliefs. Peta, I feel, infringes on "non peta" people's rights to do as they please. Too militant, I guess. I have never seen a meat eaters group throw paint at a vegan/vegetarian group... Or put up a bill board saying "eating veggies causes cancer" with a picture of a cancer survivor on it (I think it was a mayor from NY but I could be wrong). Just to tacky for my taste and mean sprited. Now someone is gonna say "well eating veggies DOESN'T cause cancer and eating meat does".. maybe that's true but why do you care so much if someone else gets cancer? Or whatever else can happen if we eat meat. Its a choice that the person eating it makes and why is that PETA' or anyone elses business? I feel that PETA is not pro choice and I'm not referring to abortions. I don't want other people telling me how to live. I think you can voice your opinions without violence or disrespect. I respect people that choose the vegan/veg lifestyle whatever your reason is. I should be respected for my choices as well. I'm am passionate about things, like breast feeding, natural childbirth and homeschooling. I don't feel the need to push my beliefs and choices on others but I do tell share by beliefs when asked about these subjects.
Eat Veggies! or Meat!

I used to be a semi-animal activist. I was and for the most part completely against animal testing for cosmetics, and fur. Through my education, I've found that animal activists branched from the Pantheist Ideology. From them, they believe that "everything is God", in which every living or nonliving organism on earth is one, and by harming one, you ultimately harm God. This form of thought has many flaws and if there is one, it is completely false.
This train of thought is from the world of change, and in the world of the change, change changes into the world of the same thus proving to be inadequate. It also never leaves the physical world which means that their belief in God, does not pertain so "all is God", means nothing to them.
I was once a believer in PETA, and a strong supporter until I found out their real motives, with the many scandals, laundering, and murder that they were involved in.
Being a Vegan has many health benefits, and I encourage you to do what you please, but for your own future, do more research about such organizations

I am a vegitarian, but not a vegan. I have yet to make the full transition as to not eating anything at all that comes from animals, so right now im just not eating any meat what so ever.

Currently, I am vegetarian. I am trying to go vegan. I went vegetarian because of animal rights.

I have not eaten flesh since 1970. My daughters have been vegan since 2000. They hate PETA even though they are militant about animals rights.

I've always been vegetarian and want to go vegan eventually. There is nothing inherently unhealthy or deficient about a vegan diet. Of course you have to eat healthy and plan your diet properly. The only animal food we are MEANT to consume is breast milk in our infant years. It is the only animal food that all herbivorous mammals consume.

I've got a friend who has a daughter who is 11, and she is 5'6", so whatever to the "vegetarian diet will stunt your growth. Her child has been on a vegetarian diet since she was born. The mom is 5'3, too.
I have been a vegetarian because of:
1. Cruelty to Animals
2. Environmental Issues
3. Health Benefit
4. I absolutely LOVE animals. Killing farm animals is just like killing your cat or dog. Imagine a pig was your pet. You wouldn't kill it, would you?

I have been a vegetarian ever since I was born. My parents are vegetarians too. I stayed a vegetarian because animal rights are very important in my opinion.
