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!

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.
