i have been a vegetarian for just about three years now. why? - because i dont like the way most animals die for just one minute of pleasure food. try watching some videos on www.peta2.com, that was one of the main reasons why i became a no-abuse animal eater.
i love to eat meat.i think they are missing the fun of eating food.
i am a vegetarian... have been one since the age of 5. its all about poor animal treatment for me.
Im a vegetarian, and i have been for 6 years. (im turning 16) I choose to be vegetarian because 1. I never liked the taste of meat. 2. Its inhumane. 3. Its unnecessary. No-one NEEDS meat to survive. There a sooo many alternatives and substitutes. But some people love it, and im not going to walk up to them in the street and try and change them; as they shouldnt do to me. I also eat organic produce because i dont believe in the use of steroids and pesticides to make things grow faster. Im also an athlete, which of course makes it 10x harder and i have to be really aware of what im eating. Being a vegetarian is a way of life and you cant do it half heartedly. Having a bad diet will most likely result in physical and mental fatigue. For those who criticise vegetarians- well, i challenge you to do it for a month, then, if done properly, you'll see how hard it really is. I dont miss meat, because i never really liked it that much.
i am :) for almost 3 months now..not long i know, but you have to start somewhere
Been off and on for over 30 years. I am now - and don't see stopping - because of medical reasons - meat fats have a negative effect with my meds that I have to take.
