what are the reasons regeterians dont eat meat???

Question

i dont eat meat, thats just because i saw this nasty/sad chicken video on pita with pam anderson. i dont miss it at all, and i felt bad eating meat, when i did, so im all good. why, if you dont, dont eat meat? oh, and how do i get the same amount of protien taking place of meat?

Answer 1

To get protein, I use a lot of soy products.

I became a vegetarian because I did not believe in animals getting killed just for my satisfaction of a good meal. Very rarely they take an animal that 'happened' to die to use it for food. They are killed on a farm just to fill our tummy's. That thought makes me sick to my stomach.

I don't miss it at all, though occasionally I wish I could have some bacon, but then the thoughts of sad slaughtered pigs come into my head and I don't want the bacon so much.

Answer 2

that's a convention based on the concept something advantageous and good on your daily living can and on occasion could be foregone upon occasion as a skill of exhibiting God which you care. while meat replaced into scarce, voluntarily giving it up replaced right into a real sacrifice. So over quite a few centuries it grew to grow to be institutionalized as a sacrifice compelled via Canon regulation. however, even churchmen finally advance up and now that's voluntary as quickly as lower back. The emphasis recently is on doing something advantageous as a mark of affection and appreciate extremely than giving up something advantageous. as an occasion, bypass to the ill instead of no longer ingesting meat. of path you're able to do the two and an excellent form of do.

Answer 3

I don't eat meat because I love animals,I don't think you can call yourself an animal lover and eat meat,that is an oxymoron to me.

MYTH: "Vegetarians get little protein."

FACT: Plant foods offer abundant protein. Vegetables are around 23% protein on average, beans 28%, grains 13%, and even fruit has 5.5%. For comparison, human breast milk is only 5% (designed for the time in our lives when our protein needs are as high as they'll ever be). The US Recommended Daily Allowance is 8%, and the World Health Organization recommends 4.5%

MYTH: "Beans are a good source of protein."

FACT: There is no such thing as a special "source of protein" because all foods -- even plants -- have plentiful protein. You might as well say "Food is a good source of protein". In any event, beans (28%) don't average much more protein per calorie than common vegetables (23%).

Answer 4

I chose not to eat meat because I can no longer stand the smell or the taste. I've never liked the idea of killing animals when there are other more ecologically sound food sources, and this sudden adversion to the taste and smell just tipped the balance in favor of vegetarianism.

Answer 5

i choose not to eat meat because it is cruel and unneccesary. i find it extremely sad that we raise animals, stuff them full of food, and then slaughter them just because we want our whopper or cheeseburger or whatever. this isn't the stone age, we don't need to go hunt for our food anymore. i have also discovered that the vegetarian diet is much healthier, but i would still be a vegetarian if it wasn't. congratulations, you are making a great choice =) check out www.goveg.com, they will send you a free vegetarian starter kit and they have TONS of videos, facts, recipes, tips, and more for vegetarians. good luck =)

Answer 7

I have few friends that don't eat meat. It's because their religion, Buddha. One of them said that he doesn't want to kill animals, so he started to be vegetarians when teens.

I think, there are more reasons to be vegetarians. And those may be different with my friend's opinion.

Answer 8

Many times because it is a fad and their friends are doing it. Sometimes it is a personal conviction of eating another living thing. Many vegetarians are anemic because of a lack of protien and it is very difficult to get. It can be found in beans and legumes. And in protien supplements.

Answer 9

i used to be a vegetarian for 12-13 years, i missed the bacon.lol, but bean and rice burritos with water r very healthy, cheap and deliciouse. r u vegan? if not throw some cheese on there, but if u r not vegan than ur reasoning behind being a vegitarian falls thru.

Answer 10

yeah, peta's videos got me to stop eating meat and i feel a whole lot better about myself. eating tofu, soy, beans, nuts, PEANUTBUTTER!!!!, and protien bars can serve as replacements. also, there are meat replacers full of protien.
