People are vegetarians for a lot of different reasons. Some feel it's wrong to kill another creature--even to eat. Some have dietary restrictions for medical reasons, and some just don't like meat. I personally am not vegetarian, but I know several people who are. It's just a personal choice.

The countless and proven health benefits, not wanting to eat anything that has a face or cares for it's young, being educated about the unnatural, cruel ways that these animals are treated in life and when they are killed to be eaten, not wanting to help the fat-cat meat/cattle/pork/chicken/dairy industries to keep getting richer and richer off of our brainwashed stupidity about what foods are truly good for us. I could go on and on and on about the "point" of being vegetarian. Now a question for you? What's the point of woofing down every piece of dead animal (meat) you can get into your mouth? I don't think your answer will be anywhere near as good as mine.

What's the point of being a meat eater when
1) Meat is linked to obesity, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, bowel problems etc
2) All we need to keep us healthy is in vegetables, grains and legumes
3) Meat production is destroying this planet
4) Meat production is about the cruelty and slaughter of hundreds of innocent animals, just because humans think they can play God
5) Millions of people worldwide are starving because so much of the earth's resources has been taking up providing meat to the wealthier nations
If you want to eat meat, fine it's your choice. But don't slam us with remarks about what's the point. Just because we're in the minority doesn't make it stupid or worthless not to eat meat. I bet meat eaters will be in the minorty soon the way things are going.

A lot of people don't eat meat for many reasons. Some are for religious, spiritual, health and moral issues. Many vegetarians believe that if they don't eat meat they're saving a life (Which is not true. If a creature is bred to be eaten, it WILL be eaten sooner or later).
They also do it for a healthier lifestyle. It's all a matter of opinion. :)

Its healthier, more humane for animals, and I just read on Yahoo news items that recent research shows vegetarians have higher IQ's

Having the peace of knowing that you aren't making an animal suffer a horrible death for your own satisfaction.

To stay true to your personal beliefs, to improve your health and lower your risk of health problems, to help the environment, and to NOT support the torture and slaughter of innocent animals.
Btw, I'm a vegan. :)
