Vegetarians are awesome, for the most part. The choice of vegetarianism shows open-mindedness, compassion, and good morals. It's healthier if done right. It's much better for the earth. It's better for the economy. However, like I said... most vegetarians are 'awesome' on my standards. The ones that do it for their morals, the earth, their health, the economy, etc fall into that classification. However, the vegetarians that choose this way of life just as a fad, as to rebel, etc can be extremely annoying. It's good what they're doing, but they're doing it for the wrong reasons. This gives vegetarians everywhere a bad name.

I also think it's insane to be against vegetarians. Everyone can have their beliefs and standards. It's okay to not be one of us, but it's ridiculous to be against us. It just doesn't make sense. Why would you bash someone else just because they're trying to make the world a better place by their choice of lifestyle and diet? Some people say that they hate vegetarians because the vegetarians they've met think they're superior to them. Of course, there'll be people out there like that, but not all vegetarians are like that. I dislike those people too, for I have meat-eating friends for whom I love and won't stand for such a prejudice against them.

Being vegetarian is a healthy and better way of lifestyle. So I think people who do not eat meat are better off than non-vegetarians. Moreover, saving animals from getting cut just for the mere purpose of satisfying your hunger is a good cause.

Im generally ok with them. It's their decision, yay them, they have awesome will power and are pretty nice people. I just don't like when they try to force their beliefs on other people (which most of them don't, its a very small percentage). I don't try to convert vegetarians to eat meat, so why should they try to convert me to being a total vegetarian (I guess I'd be partial vegetarian, I don't eat red meat, only chicken, turkey, and salmon).

One of my best friends is vegan, another is vegetarian. We can have nice discussions about it, but in the end, we're all fine with each other's beliefs and don't try to change each other.

From an economic standpoint, it costs less to grow vegetables, fruits, grains, beans and provide dairy than it does for any type of meat. Therefore, we would see a collective cost savings if everyone became a vegetarian. However, that is not going to happen. I do believe that even the most committed meat eaters are becoming sensitive to the incredibly brutal conditions in which our livestock is raised and slaughtered. "Fast Food Nation" should be required reading in all high school or middle school programs to raise awareness even further.

i think theyre awesome (i am one). they are obviously compassionate (or just health conscious). a vegetarian will save 100 animals every year! go veggies!

i feel bad for vegetarians who are constintly ridiculed. my grandmother is terribly mean to me when it comes to the fact that i dont eat meat. she says "God put animals on this planet for one reason and that is to serve man" and "why are you doing this? your crazy", my grandmother is catholic and they beleive animals dont have souls. some meat eaters will complain that vegetarians/vegans disagree with them and then they wont even care when vegetarians/vegans are treated badly. quite the duoble standard, dont you think?

although, i do know that some meat eaters are accepting (like my mom, sister, and usually my brothers). but most of the ones i know are pretty closed-minded.

since becoming vegetarian, i feel healthier, happier and more sure of myself when it comes to the choice of what im putting into my body when it comes to eating. more and more people are being influenced by vegetarians, our world is ver slowly changing for the better!

i think of they simply have a topic with the existence-variety. to no longer be too stereotypical, yet usually, on familiar (observe that i'm no longer each guy, yet maximum, atleast of my understanding & in my adventure) adult adult males are meat eaters. i've got heard adult adult males say that that individuals who're vegetarian or vegan are not truly human, or that they seem to be some variety of "pansy" (as though they are petrified of meat). it variety of feels, to me, interior the final couple of a protracted time, vegetarianism / veganism has been increasing, greater so with females than adult males. So possibly a number of those adult adult males in simple terms experience so overwhelmed by utilising the amoun of vegetarian or vegan human beings (or females), that they are in simple terms satisfied to locate the unusual woman who continues to be a meat eater. i think of the folk you're pushing away by utilising being a vegetarian are not worth some time. in the event that they are gonna get in this sort of huff over something that would not even difficulty them, and could desire to in certainty be fit for you (as detrimental to an omnivorous eating ordinary), truly, it truly is not with some time. in case you have been acquaintances for a protracted time, or are suited acquaintances, it truly is a various be counted; they could no longer believe vegetarianism/veganism, yet they're going to love you in simple terms as lots besides. If a guy or woman isn't even prepared to get to appreciate you simply by fact of your eating behavior, truly, it truly is a stupid excuse for strolling faraway from a means friendship. Did you ever word what number horror action pictures have human beings torturing the vegetarian or vegan woman? usually a guy doing the torturing additionally? there is often sparkling data in such action pictures that the guy is stricken by utilising her existence-variety, and the two bodily punishes her for it, or starves her till she eats a chew of rotting meat off the floor. for sure i do no longer seek for those specific movies out (heavily makes me decide directly to throw up), yet I see it lots in horror movies, being a horror buff myself.

Vegetarians in general seem to possess a higher degree of empathy with the earth, and it's natural environment. If we are to avoid the annihilation of life on this planet, it is absolutely imperative that we consume less, and less meat all the time. the raising of animals for meat is one of the major contributing factors of the destruction of our natural environment.
