vegetarian, anyone? reason? Options

[OriskybusinessO]

Soo... is anyone in here a vegetarian? And if so why?

I am, but its because I want to be more healthy and meat isnt the best thing for you, beef (heart disease) and pork, etc. I really could care less about the animals, there going to get eaten by everyone else anyway right!

[*stephinika*]

i'm not but a good friend of mine is, and her reasons are for the animals sort of but also just the whole idea of producing some purely for the purpose of slaughter.

[sweetdreamsx3]

I'm not, but a few of my friends are. Some cares because of animals...the others , i'm not sure why.

[xXirockhardXx]

No im not and i dont think i know anybody who is o_O

[smthngcrprategrl...]

i am...i dunno, animals, i don't like a lot of meats to begin with, principles, i dunno...

[Flaunted]

just the whole idea of producing some purely for the purpose of slaughter.

that got to my friend.
some of my friends are vegetarian, i love when they are like
tofu dogs! and soymilk! haha i just like meat
rawr they have to get their protein from drinking other things and vitamins.
this one time a guy in my class said "for every animal you don't eat, i'll eat three of them" hahaha it was hilarious.

[Just_Dream]

I used to be in 8 th grade, even though I ate fish and once in a while my mother forced me to eat meat.. This was about 3 years ago... I used to be an animal lover...

Then in 9th grade (2 years ago) my boyfriend started eating meat and he tried to get me to eat some. The thing was that everything he ate tasted so good. And then I quit my vegetarian ways.

[laylooo]

i can never be a vegetarian,
the only vegetables that i actually like are brocolli, lettuce, and some chinese vegetable (idk what its called)
i'm a meat lover

[royalfreshness]

I might become one. Sometimes I just cant eat any meat, it makes me sick xD.

[*Kathleen*]

Eh...I detest vegetables. I'm more of a junk food person. I know, it's horrible for you, but...oh well. I'll change my ways when I get older most likely.

[demolished]

Nope, i am not a vegetarian and no one dont have to be vegetarian. you can eat less meats and eat alot of vegetables. Mostly likely, you wont get heart disease or high cholestrol *. Our body needs protein and nurtitions from animal too.

[ If you see an incorrect words, forgive me ]

[llpurpleskyll]

i hate vegetables...even though i know they are good for you and all that

[shortiiex]

Noone i know is a vegetarian.....health is important to me but..i can't resist meat..

[dahding]

*roar* *goes after a herd of sheep*

mm....meat. u need a healthy balance of meat and veggies...ur body's built that way. sure, u can eat off of veggies forever, but humans are naturally omnivores. so i eat a nice balance of both.

[xj_liana_tx]

i am not, i tried, but i couldn't resist the crave for McD's and Orange Chicken
also, you need the nutrition from meat and etc.

[Just_Dream]

Well, you could also eat fruits, breads, etc., not just vegetables. Also, one could always add artificial flavoring or sauce to tofu to make it more tasty. :]

Soymilk is pretty delicious, by the way. And I LOVE tofu eggrolls. They're delicious I find them more tasty than regular eggrolls. If only my mom would make them more, instead of the meat ones. I LOVE TOFU EGGROLLS! They're also known as veggie eggrolls.

But of course, I'm not a vegetarian anymore anyway.. I should become one again. But then my boyfriend (a HUGE meet-lover) would be eating steak, chicken, etc. and make me crave for it. =X

i am not, i tried, but i couldn't resist the crave for McD's and Orange Chicken
also, you need the nutrition from meat and etc.

.. Tofu has nutrition in it as well. Who are you to say that you can't get any of the vitamins/nutrition/minerals/etc. from other foods? Plus, one could always take vitamin pills. It's been done before.

I used to take calcium pills when I used to not drink milk.

[broadway-aholic]

I was a vegetarian but my mom just got really irratating about it. She would always try to chop up meat in my tofu and stuff. Also everyone at school made fun of me about it. When I'm older I'm going to be a vegetarian again.

[demolished]

^
Why do you want to be vegetarian again ?

[SuiciadlxLullaby]

I am, but its because I want to be more healthy and meat isnt the best thing for you, beef (heart disease) and pork, etc. I really could care less about the animals, there going to get eaten by everyone else anyway right!

It's nice you want to be more healthy. But you have to think of the animals and you wouldn't eat your dog or cat or if you have any other animals. Also who cares if everyone one else is going to eat them dosn't mean you have to. So obviously i don't agree with killing animals just for some fat person sitting in frot of their television set doing nothing.


I agree with you broadway-aholic. I was but i sarted because i got sick but i gave up chicken and pork. So i guess people should do what they can to help the poor animals.

u sarted? is that like...the form of sharted?

[Gypsy Eyes]

I am a vegetarian, i have been since I was eight. The original reason was actually kind of tramautic. I used to have a pet pig at my uncles farm upstate, one year when I was visiting i couldn't find her. At dinner I asked where she was and my uncle said on my plate, and in my stomach. I've stayed a veg because it is a lot healthier, and the fact that I would be eating flesh just nauseates me

[iheartsimba]

i'm not vegitarion...but i respect vegitarian's reasons...its not like "oh its just going to be eatin anyway right" its more of a personal protest, saying that you won't goto the limits to satisfiy yourself by eating other living things...well thats my veiw on it.

my sisters a vegitarian though...shes sooo skinny i'm so jelouse >.<.
i wish i could be one, but i don't think i could sacrifice meat...

[aznlyka]

i friend of mine is a vegetarian and her boyfriend is a vegan.

she has to take amino pills or something like that. and her botfriend lost alot of weight when he became a vegan.

me? i'm an omnivore.

[jennyjenny]

I'm not.
But I know someone who is, but she's on a loosely vegetarian diet.
Cause of the animals.

Me? Well, I think meat gives you protein and stuff, and as much as I care about animal slaughter, I would rather live longer than to let animals.
Not that I don't care about them, but I hate vegetables.

[1--GIRL]

Nope. But my Mom is

[SuiciadlxLullaby]

All I have to say is PETA. it's very interesting to find out what happens to the poor animals.

[angel-roh]

I was a vegeterian for about a month because when madcow disease started. I didn't even wanted to touch any meats because I thought it wasn't just cows. So I was scared to eat the other meats. But now it's over heehee. So I'm not a vegetarian anymore.

[*Azarel*]

I know Yvonne (x_angawhomps) is trying. Haha.

[toodlepops.]

i think i should be. when i eat meat i'll go lyk, ' omg, poor cow' but, i can't resist i. ;)

[imm]

I am. For two reasons:

1. Animal cruelty.
2. I want to be healthy. =]

[mysticalazxn]

hint dont be a vegetarian
lol my friend is a vegetarian and he freaken skinny!

[mysticalazxn]

[edit]
o crap i double post, my comp lack i click ok twice.
dont get mad lol

[silver-rain]

I'm not exactly a vegetarian, but I don't usually don't eat meats because I think they taste bad...

[ANG33ZY]

No i'm not vegetarian.

[whomps]

I know Yvonne (x_angawhomps) is trying. Haha.

GAH!!

I'm trying to be vegetarian. Actually I was suppose to be vegetarian this week.
Except I ate spaghetti (THE DELICIOUS SPAGHETTI my sister rarely makes) and that kinda killed it.

It's because of the animals. Not because of any disease, or anything like that. It's the animals.

[Just_Dream]

Eek, I forgot to say this to you so many times... YOU ANIMAL FREAK, YOU! =P

I used to feel bad about eating animals.. I love moo moos (cows). :/ Even though beef is so delicious.. I still feel bad eating it.. Darn my boyfriend! Haha now you know how I feel.. When my boyfriend ruined my vegetarian-ness.

[WhiteLotus*]

I was last year. I wasn't balamcing out my nutrition properly, and my diet consisted of cheese, sugar, and more cheese. I lost so much of my hair and I lost so much weight. I stopped mentrating too.

I'm healthy now, though. Though I am still missing a lot of my hair..

[gOODpIRATE]

i am. i actually just started being a vegitarian about a month ago. i have become an animal lover. the most i'll eat is chicken, thats about it when it comes to meats. also, it's just heathy too.

fruits and veggies are ignored alot too. :cry: haha.

[*jooleeah*]

I want to become a vegetarian....but every time I try, I fail. I want to become one cause I feel bad eating animals. ><

[xbr0kensmil3]

i want to be one, but it's hard not eating meat ( well for me it is) and i don't like vegetables. Last week I saw a commercial on how they kill the animals and stuff and it grossed me out and i said i would become a vegetarian, but then the next day i had chicken... =\

[twelveislands]

Never been one :o

I stopped my friend from being a vegetarian though. I took into McDonalds and bought her a cheeseburger happy meal. She ate it So when I didn't finish my cheeseburger, she ate the rest of it too.

[LiLaZnGirL122]

nope but i noe ALOT of people who are.. i think they r vegetarian becuz they think its discusting to eat like animals and they r hurtng them and on and on

[mouse_3k]

I was for about a month then I got suckered into McDonalds.

I went vegan when I saw what people do to the animals at the Peta.com or w/e. Emotional videos..

[to-devastate]

I'm not. But seeing animals get killed makes me sad.

[Hiphop d[-_-]b]

im a vegetarian. but i love meat so much i just.. i dont know me and my friends stephenie when we were close we`d talk about it and we`d look up about it and everything. im a lacto-ovo vegetarian by the way but im thinking of going vegan.

i know that the animals already dead by the time someone cooks it but i just dont feel like eating something that was killed for me. its kind of hard to explain because i know some people are just like thats stupid the anims dead anyways, and its not like your helping anything. well FCUK you. hehe.

i only eat fish now, but im starting to stop and oly eat fruits and vegetables and im going to start buying tofu and tempeh.

[danishcookiez]

im a vegetarian because of family tradition and religious reasons

[Nicole0402]

Well. I'm partly a veggie, but sometimes I can manage eating a steak or hamburger without hearig...MOOOOOO! I just don't know. Sometimes I just cant even manage to bite a piece of meat....weird

[teeners4]

my moms pretty much a vegetarian. but shes suffering from low blood pressure. so she's forced to eat more beef and stuff

yea im not against being a vegetarian. i wanna be one. but i just despise vegetables. and the only time i eat anything that is in the fruits and veggies section are fruits! and i love chicken and fish too much but yea... if someone taught me all the other options to like protein and how to get iron and stuff i would do it.

[*salcha*]

I am, but its because I want to be more healthy and meat isnt the best thing for you, beef (heart disease) and pork, etc.

but meat also=protein.
actually, i tried to be a vegetarian a couple years ago, after i saw a really sick movie about killing animals and stuff, but my mom still made me eat meat..well that ended my vegetarian days..

[xPn0ykG8o8x]

i'm not, but i really don't eat much pork or fish. but I have friends that are pollo-vegetarians.

[*mzkandi*]

i'm not a vegetarian. I love my meat!

[pingpang_0811]

i'm not
but i think this's related to the religion.

[jenika]

i know some friends who were vegitarians and later changed...im not sure why they were vegitarians though..

[Eryi]

I'm not. I like beef.

[juliar]

i have a friend who is, and she is doing it mainly for the animals. but i think a little bit of it is also on the health reasons too.

[New-Skin]

I don't like calling myself a vegetarian - not sure why.
I haven't eaten meat in months though, I can't remember why I did it origionally, I think I wanted to try it out and see if I could do it and I just never stopped. When peopel offer me a meat dish I say "No thanks, I'm not eating meat" becuase if I said "I don't eat meat" then when I was in an eat-cow-or-starve situation I wouldn't be able to eat it. Or my mind is just screwed

I don't like the idea of eating animals, or the way they're bred then often inhumanly killed so they can be served up to me on a plate

[saysaydaplay]

im semi-vegetarian ..i dont eat red meat ...becuz ..its just nasty to me ..

[fameONE]

WHY GO VEG? CLICK HERE

I'll just simply state that my decision is made for ethical and health reasons and I'll leave it at that. Click the link, watch the vid, you be the judge.

[toodlepops.]

I'm not, but my friend is.

[jaeman]

You know that scientifically, humans were intended to be vegetarians but for some reason we just started eating meat.
I am not a vegetarian.

[starlette]

I would be a vegetarian, but really love chicken...cuz i hate chickens. Long story. I love all other animals...it makes me sad to think of them once being alive...*sigh* But I love love love fruits, so if I stopped eating meat, I would be a fruitarian really huh?

[AngelTears]

Eh...I detest vegetables. I'm more of a junk food person. I know, it's horrible for you, but...oh well. I'll change my ways when I get older most likely.

Have fun while your young, when your older thats when you have to worry about it

And to answer the question.

I've thought about it, but I dont know, giving up meat would be hard..

[iwalkbackwards]

I am, because of the slaughtering of animals, and because it's the way I was raised. My daughter isn't exactly vegetarian, but it would be cool if she was. The only meat she really eats is chicken nuggets, so it's cool

[xMayleex]

One of my friends is a vegetarian shes been one since she was 8 or 9 shes almost 15 now though, i dont know why she is but i know she aint vegan or anything.

[XoJennaoX]

I am lactose intolerant (so i got use to eating soy stuff) and i don't like meat (just because of the taste), but i wasn't about to become a vegan.... So I force myself to eat meat, not because i hate animals, but because i hate plants..lol

[dreamerOi]

i am but ive never really liked meat or seafood in the first place. also egg and all that weird stuff was weird too. it always tasted so oily or unsatisfying hah. its all about the tofu and noodles oh and i cant forget my second favorite FRUITS. haha.

[WrathOfOnigo]

No. There is really no reason to become a vegetarian. The animals are STILL going to die if you don't eat them.Meats are part of our dialy diet and we do need to consume meats. So honestly, I really don't see why people want to become vegetarians.

[IamRad]

i like chicken my friend is vegetarian.. and my other friend is vegan. yup.. their reason= cthey love animals too much

[surfhottieoffcoa...]

i used to not eat beef cause i had a special thing for cows

[New-Skin]

No. There is really no reason to become a vegetarian. The animals are STILL going to die if you don't eat them.Meats are part of our dialy diet and we do need to consume meats. So honestly, I really don't see why people want to become vegetarians.

Kay. Firstly there are many reasons to become a vegetarian.

1 - Religious reasons, if you think God exists and made the earth animals and people and we're supposed to be stewards of the earth or what vere you may feel you should respect the animals by not having someone skin them and then process then into a breadcrumbbed chunk for you when you can eat the beans and stuff he created for you. {{I'm not religious, it's just a reason why someone could be a veggie}}

2 - Moral and Ethical reasons, do you really think it's right to destroy a life and eats it's body. If you don't like war/murderers then don't be a hypocrite. Also, maybe you dont' like the cruel way in which they're often killed (not always but way to often)

3 - Health reasons, I'm not sure if there is a name for it but some peopel just can't eat meat.


"The animals are still going to die anyway"
Yes, but naturally after a long, happy life, not after ashort while after a caged life and painfull death

We don't NEED meat, we can live fine without it. I don't eat it and I'm fine, millions of other vegetarians and vegans dont' eat meat tand they're all hunky-dory. I read somewhere that if you dont' eat meat for 20 years you'll live an average of 3 years longer than if you ate meat.

[KERP1UNK]

i'm trying but its really hard...i even started a petition for kids to sign at my school to get more vegetarian items on the lunch menu. we had a lot but we (me & my friend) finally gave up after a while.. :/

[mysticbreeze]

I became a vegetarian about a year ago because I am against slaughtering living things just so people who don't need meat anyway can eat them. Here are some good reasons to become one: here

[xsweetxcandyx]

i'm not but i know a few that are... i still don't eat that much meat, but i'm not one =]

[william]

i'm the only meat eater in my house. i've been considering going vegetarian for awhile, but i think it would be really hard.

[lolthissiteisfun...]

I would be if I could give up chicken.

or if a whole lot of other people did, so i thought it would actually matter if I quit eating meat.

[dani41790]

nah im not. im not allowed to be

[yupimchuck]

PSHH YES
Veg pride.

I don't know why. I just am. I get made fun of ALOT for it too.

[megan_x3]

i am not. but i know this guy who is a vegeterian..... who ate a china garden !! and i was sitting ahead of him . and he was asking for brocoilli... </-- dunno if i spelled that right.

[[o0p]]

i am! cause of the poor animals.. my old friend was one until he was 8!!

[shortcake]

I think I would be able to give up pork and chicken, but not so sure about cow. I love my carne asada. I tried giving up meat for my major religions class at school, I lasted a week. Longer then I expected!

[*Intercourse.*]

Close, but not so much. I don't really eat dark meat, I've reached the point that it makes me sick if I have to eat it.. I eat chicken though, thats it. I've never exactly liked pork. I think the main reason I ever did it was to be healthy and then after a while you just get used to it.

[Retrogressive]

I’ve been a vegetarian for a year and half now. I actually started a week before Thanksgiving. My reasons are simple: I don’t like the taste or consistency of meat and I believe the way animals are slaughtered is not only against nature, but is inhumane. I eat lots of vegetables, cheese, and fruit. I try to eat all organics, but that can sometime get pricey. Living in Texas it’s hard to be a vegetarian, especially since my friends are such carnivores. I manage though and they’re pretty supportive.

[multifaceted]

Actually I became a vegetarian by accident when I was 8 or so. Before I didn't know that meat was from killing innocent animals.

I was dieting for a long time by just eating vegetables and no meat. Later I just couldn't eat meat anymore.

[*My Cinderella.*]

I'm working on becoming one little by little.

[breakingdawn]

I was for like... a week. But then I realized that if I didn't eat it, it was just going to waste, and that's even worse so... yeah...

[kimmytree]

I want to be, but I've always eaten it... it'd be hard to change. And even if I did stop eating meat, my parents are still going to cook the same amount of meat for dinner, regardless if I'm eating it or not.

But maybe when I'm older and on my own.

[*Monochrome.*]

I dont eat red meat.
but i eat fish.chicken.dairy.eggs

[Simba]

I've been a vegetarian all my life. It runs in the family.

[clarity]

I'm not, only because I could never give up eating meat. Although, I am aposed to eating fish.

[moninja]

i'm not a vegetarian but i gave up meat for lent.

[KissMe2408]

I'm kinda semi-vegitarian.

I never really eat red meat,
and only eat chicken and fish maybe like
once every 2 weeks now.
I do it more for health and stuff. . .

though right now i would kill for chicken sandwhich.
[sorry]
