Answer 2

Being a vegetarian might not be healthy or easy if you want to become vegan, only because you lose a lot of nutrients. I personally wouldn't suggest it, but f you really feel wrong eating meat, you could at least try being vegetarian for a while, and not mention it to anyone, then if you find you just can't do it, you can go back to eating meat. Or, you could just eat a little bitof "pig" as you call it every once in a while.

Answer 3

Only become a vegetarian if you are really willing to give a lot up for animals. Or, you could become a half time vegetaraian where you only eat meat like once every week.

Answer 4

Changing eating habits is not an easy thing to do.
Do not become a vegetarian for the wrong reasons like alot of people do.
Most vegetarians will say they don't eat meat beacuase of the poor animal...I don't think that's a very good reason.
Our bodies need meat...as I said in another Q we are omnivores that means our bodies NEED both meat and veggies.
People will argue that intelligent people like Einstein were vegetarians...but they don't tell you that he was a meat eater all his life and suffered from a form of IBS when he got older and meat irritated him.
If you want to be vegetarian to be healthier this also is not the case....like i said our bodies NEED both no matter what type of propaganda vegetarians try to feed you.
Talk with your doctor or a nutritionist first to see if these eating habits are right for you.
There is nothing wrong with being a vegetarian but we do need meat.
Too much meat can also be a bad thing.
If you feel bad about the animal your eating just think about the omnivores in the animal kingdom that eat plants and other animals....they do it to survive...they may not think like we do but their bodies know what they need to eat.

whatever you decide to do

Answer 5

It is totally up to you. You have to come to terms with your own moral convictions and make your decisions based off of them.

I would say go veg, but I know you really have to be ready to make that decision. Diets are hard enough to follow if you want to drop a few pounds; vegetarianism is a lifestyle that takes real dedication. You can't *cheat* on vegetarianism, and you can't *treat yourself* to some bacon or decide for Christmas that you deserve it.

Sure, I hope you cross over.... and when you are ready, I am sure you will. Until then, keep educating yourself on the wrongs of the meat industry and the benefits of being veg. Start collecting recipes and maybe incorporating them into your normal diet. Having meat-free days throughout the week can only help save more cute little pigs.

EDIT- You can also substitute some things you wont miss. My mom uses Morning Star Farms fake chicken strips in her salads because they are a lot healthier and she is on the nutrisystem diet. As I said, every little bit helps the cause, and maybe it will help if you decide to go veg in the future.

Answer 6

IMO, just don't. Contrary to popular beleif amongst many vegans and vegitarians, you CAN love animals and eat meat and by not eating it, it is not helping animals any either because they are still going to be farmed and slaughtered for food as they are created to do.. Some animals are made for a certain purpose and that is to feed other animals INCLUDING humans. Don;t let your reasons for making such a life style change be that you were made to feel bad about it. Animals eat other animals, it is the way the world works. If the reason is you feel bad about the way that factory farms treat the animals or whatever then just buy from smaller farms where you know that the animals are able to roam and arent just kept in tiny cages. At least you know that they are treated well and it is also going to be healthier in the long run.

Do what you want at your own free will, wether it be eating meat or not, just make sure deep down its not because someone delibrately made you feel bad about it or fed you bull ****. Sometimes, you got to look at it logically, its the way the world works. animals eat animals. But there are alternatives where you can still eat meat and go about it in a better way.

And god, PLEASE whatever you do, don't listen to anyone who uses anything that PETA says as proof lol

Answer 7

It all has to do with your personal feelings about it. You have to feel strongly enough about the animal or the food here. If it makes you sick to try to eat a sausage link that is a good indication that you should go ahead and stop eating it. Be smart about stopping eating meat. There are many benefits to your health, becoming a vegetarian but you have to get your protein and iron from another source such as beans.

Answer 8

If you decide to become a vegetarian make sure this is something you want...I was a vegetarian for a year...for some health reasons I had to start eating meat again... now I feel like I have to have my meat literally burnt for it to taste right...I used to like medium to rare now I have to have it soooo well done...It always feels like I'm sucking blood right from it (not good)...I've always liked chicken...I always felt its cleaner then all the other meats other than fish...

Answer 9

Before you make any major dietary changes consult with your doctor. If that is not possible read as much as you can about being a vegetarian. If you have any food allergies make sure you descibe them to you doctor or other health professional.

Answer 10

Well if you feel that bad for the animal, don't eat it. Now this is coming from a vegetarian so of course that's what I'm gonna say, but it's really up to you.
