Are any of you vegetarians. why or why not?

Question

yeah i am. i can't eat meat without thinking about the animal that was killed for my food...*shivers* it's disgusting.

i know i wouldn't like to be butchered and cooked for people's eating pleasures.

Answer 1

Yes, I am because I don't agree with the factory farming process. I think it's bad enough to raise an animal just to be killed, but the fact that they have terrible lives and go through a lot of suffering before they die is unacceptable to me.

If the world was still wild, and people hunted for their meat (not for sport!) I would find eating meat a little more acceptable because the animals would be free and would have a chance at survival.

Answer 2

Well since you asked, I am not. I believe that humans were not designed to be vegetarian (although we can be fairly close) and certainly not vegan. The staggering amount of effort vegans have to make to remain healthy seems to be a good tribute to this.
I will grant you that animals are (very) often treated (very) badly prior to slaughter and I am against this. I see no reason or justification in not treating them to at least reasonable conditions. But I believe there is nothing wrong with killing an animal you intend to eat (especially if wild or kept well). Killing it for kicks/sport, I believe, is wrong.
To each their own. If you are happy being vegetarian, good luck with that. But I will take issue with assertions that eating meat is wrong on either ethical or health grounds.

Answer 3

I am a vegetarian, but after reading most of the answers in this section for the past few months, it seems like meat-eaters outnumber us in this section. Just read through the list of vegetarian questions. "Wouldn't you just like a steak?" is respnded by about twenty "Absolutely!"s.

I have been a vegetarian for several years for environmental reasons. If you're not a vegetarian, I don't want to lecture you. But if you're interested, just Google "environment + vegetarianism" and you should get tons of information.

My sister is a vegetarian because she is squeamish and after seeing PETA's videos, she doesn't want to harm any more piggies or bunnies.

Many others are vegetarians because their religion requires it. I don't want to spread misinformation, so I won't elaborate.

It's also really good for your health. Yet again, Google can provide you with more additional info if you want it.

Answer 4

I'm a Vegan because I support animal rights, good health, environmental protection, and I prefer the taste of non-animal food.

Edit: @ fucose_man, I had no idea the trouble I have to go though to eat a Vegan diet every day and still maintain my health I find it extremely easy to eat a Vegan diet and remain healthy. After the first few weeks of getting use to it, This way of life couldn't be easier.
