I'm a vegetarian. My family is a huge meat eating family. What do you guys think about being vegetarian? I am in it cuz of the animal cruelty (search PETA TV for my reasoning). Your opinions?

I've been a vegetarian for almost four years because I'm against animal cruelty and health benefits are a plus. My dad and sister eat meat but my mom became a vegetarian with me. I'm so thankful for her support. Just keep your head up. Maybe you can make a vegetarian friend to help you along. It is much easier with someone backing you up.
I think its time for a change. Either factory farming industries change their ways and treat their animals like living beings instead of garbage or we stop supporting their ways. People say that God intended for us to eat meat, but I'm sure God didn't intend for us to treat his creations like that! If animals were raised in a normal environment I wouldn't be vegetarian to be honest.
Vegetarians and vegans get so much bashing. I don't get why people care so much about what I eat and what I choose not to. I'm not shoving lettuce down their throats, so why should I get meat shoved down mine? Another thing about being a vegetarian is getting meat waved in your face. This has happened to me at school countless times. I'm sure not even someone who eats meat would appreciate it. It's just rude and immature.
Even though I'm a minority, I think its the right thing to do.

some vegetarians are that extream that they wont use the fork because it "touched Sir Francis Bacon". i'm no longer one in all those vegetarians that bypass round preaching and bugging you about eating a chicken wing. i do not even tell human beings in the adventure that they don't ask. in the adventure that they provide me meat I basically basically say 'no thanks'. although this is late so why no longer rant? haha. we do no longer have sharp teeth to tear the raw meat. we do no longer have sharp claws to kill with. Do you imagine that this is for a reason? each and each vegetarian saves about one hundred animals a 12 months. i'm also a Christian yet that has no result on me. truly i imagine it makes me more suitable to be a vegetarian. So definite there are some stressful vegan/vegetarians that rant on how undesirable this is. i do not frequently attempt this so yea. yet devour what ever you want. I have the utmost appreciate for you and your evaluations. everybody has evaluations. a lifeless ringer for I have an opinion.

im a vegetarian too, and almost everyone around me is eating meat and constantly pressuring me about not eating meat, saying stupid things like "how will you get protein?" and "there are so many important nutrients you arent getting". but obviously they have no idea how much healthier a vegetarian diet is than eating meat. i keep telling them that its healthier to be on a vegetarian diet than to eat meat, and then i support that with facts, but no they dont want to believe any of it.
anyways, i think vegetarianism is great, and you should keep it up. im in on it for the animal cruelty too. i just think that man kind has gotten to the point where we are killing way too many animals, and i hate how people think that we are the dominant species and there fore are supposed to eat all other animals. i think that is bs, i think weve gotten to the point where we no longer need to eat meat because we have other options. like if i was alive like 400 years ago, maybe i wouldnt be a vegetarian. but now, we dont have to eat meat
i think all that was unclear...but oh well
hope this answers your question

i became a vegetarian 3 years ago at the age of 10 but both my parents are meat eaters, long term, i wish i would have made the decision, but also long term i don't even notice the difference really. I've became so accustomed to not eating meat that i don't notice the difference in my diet anymore, i agree with your beliefs about animal cruelty though.

I do it for health reasons, my body does not like red meat. I also do it because the consumption of meat is harder on the environment than eating more vegetable products. I am a lacto-ovo vegetarian, I can't give up cheese, milk and baked goods.

I was in my 30s when I went veg, and I'm the only one in my family who's vegan--heck, everyone else in my family eats meat. You have to do what's right for you, stand your ground, but be polite about it.

im the same, people say that they think its ok to kill animals so long as it doesnt hurt them, but i think thats like saying i could kill a person so long as it doesnt hurt them, which is just stupid.
