Meat is gross.
Meat is unhealthy.
Drinking cow's milk meant for calves is unnatural.
Vegetables and all the plants that can be used are so much better for you and better for the planet, not to mention all the different options there are.

That depends on why you are actually a vegetarian.
here are three possibilities whose short answers should not provoke *too* much discussion:
1) I feel better when I stay away from meat
2) The world is running out of space, and it takes a lot less space (like a factor of 80 I think) to raise 100 calories of soybeans than 100 calories of beef.
3) Compassionate reasons. I looked into the face of a cow once, and could never eat one again.

You can simply state that you disagree with the manner in which animals are treated by the modern food industry. You could also state that it's for ethical reasons and that you would rather not get into a drawn out discussion.

you need not explain. had the other person(s) do some reading or searching, they'd know about vegans. leave them as they are. the more you explain, it shows how ignorant those people are.
