6. Im not a vegetarian but I think they do it because they dont want to eat animals
7. I am a vegetarian and i am one because i think its cruel and wrong to eat animals and now days we can get enough protein from vegetables fruit, vitamins and other foods we don't need to eat them.
8. /* not vegetarian. i just dont dislike the idea of eating meat. *\
9. I am. Well I'm a vegan but anyway... have been for 13 years (since I was all of 8). Who wants to eat something that had a mother? its a little too primitive for me thanks. Also for all those that say they love meat or need protein etc these are all excuses b/c the truth is a vegi burger tastes the same as a meat one and has the same amount of protein. Any vitamin you need can be found in a plant source (excluding B12 which is in most soy milk anyways) Also there is veg chicken, beef, oh the list is endless. Any meat that exists, a vegi alternative does as well - I promise Ive been doing this for some time now.
10. I'm not, I do not wish to be. However, I respect those that are, it's their choice, as long as they do the same for me :)
11. Im a vegetarian because I love animals and can't stand to eat them. Also its a healthier lifestyle.
12. I don't eat Pork because I'm muslim, but after a while the thought of eating something that once lived made me sick so I just stopped eating meat...but I have no problem with other people eating meat.
13. I was a vegetarian a long time ago, only because of the process meat and stuff, it looked kinda disgusting. Though I eat meat now, I mean we are omnivores Built for eating meat. Animals eat meat in the wild, Humans EAT MEAT.
14. ♥ im not a vegetarian because i like meat and if god didn't want us to eat meat he would make it taste sooo good♥
15. I wish I was as all the meat is always cooked in Oil which makes me fat nd isn't good lolz . I tried to be one but Failed miserably ... =l . Altho I could be considered one now nd then as i don't eat much mean anywayz just maybe once - twice a week IF that , Sometimes none .
16. kay, well, i tried being a vegetarian, but it didn't work out so well. but a few years ago, i was a full-on vegetable. i was a vegetarian because i was scared of meat. :P i thought it would make your brain blow up. don't ask where i heard that, i just did, and it scared me so much that i didn't eat meat for 3 years.
17. i am , i just dont support how animals are killed for food
18. i am not a veggie but i would love to be but my parents say i cant as i need the protein but if i had a choci i would be
19. MY BESTFRIEND LAUREN IS A VEGETARIAN!! HEY LAUREN IF YOU DO THIS ONE!
20. I love chicken too much. My friend turned vegi cos she say a cow and felt sad...x
21. I'm vegan. Too much protein is bad for you. Cancer is a protein. Too much also can lead to abnormal growths and liver or kidney problems. For example, there is more calcium and vitamins in curly kale than there is in milk. Vitamin B12 comes from bacteria and is found in many fungus/mushrooms. The meat and dairy industry is one of the leading contributors to global warming. These animals are pumped full of growth hormones and other drugs. This ends up in your body too if you consume dairy and meat. Milk also contains feces, blood and puss from the intense milking process by the machines. Not convinced? Watch Richard Linklater interview regarding his film Fast Food Nation. That'll put you off meat for good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPyQI0xnUNA
22. i was born into a family with no vegetarians so i didnt put much thought into becoming one. Once i start eating meat, i cant stop, its good for me and i need it. (im skinny)
23. I'm a vegetarian because I think it's wrong to eat animals and they have as much right to be on this world as we do. They don't eat us (often) so why should we eat them ?
24. I love steak too much to give it up
25. well ive starved myself all day today cos im going out for a steak....in 30 minutes actually gotto go cya
26. I am a vegetarian...... i became one because : - i don't believe in the killing of animals..just for our pleasure and pallet - i think it is cruel - I could never kill an animal......so why eat it ? -its healthier -Live an average 6 years more than meat eatter -Animals have emotions and feelings like humans....so why kill them...for like eatting something which lasts for 5 mins..and then its finished.... -Veggie food is GREAT !! i swear ..try taking the Quorn chicken burgers !!
27. i am not i just cn find out smthn wrong with eating meat its the food chain sm organisms feed on others to keep the universe's balance soo wts wrong with tht ? besides meat is just delicious
28. I'm not a vegetarian. I like meat, and the animal is already slaughtered anyway. If I don't buy the steak, someone else will, and I'll get to miss out on a delicious meal. Besides, our bodies are designed for meat eating. We wouldn't have evolved to eat it if it didn't work in some way to our benefit.
29. not a vegetarian because I like meat esp red meat it is a good source of zinc and Iron wich my body needs as well as the fruits and vegetables
30. I am a VEGETARIAN ... I have been for 17 years and I am going to be 18 in a few months because of a few reasons. 1. I don't like the smell, taste, texture and how meat looks 2. I don't like the fact how they kill the animals 3. I don't feel that giving animals chemicals to make they larger is safe for people to eat 4. I do have to eat eggs and cheese to get some protein but i eat VERY little of that. 5. I love animals too much to hurt them. Hope that helps you!!!
31. i've tried it. go to peta.com. animal cruelty is one of the main reasons people go vegetarian. also, pesticides now days are bad enough to literally kill your inner organs. not good. some people do it to lose weight. i myself have no conscience, and no need to lose weight, therefore i am not a vegetarian.
32. I love meat.. I don't know what i would do if i couldnt have McDonald's angus burger D: That's like my once a month treat, McDonald's angus haha. My best friend is a vegetarian, the reason is because when she was little she ate a piece of nasty meat and she's been grossed out since. Lmao.
33. I am vegetarian. I have been since I was about 16 (I'm 30 now), and I became vegetarian because the idea of eating meat had always bothered me, since I couldn't get past the idea that it is just dead flesh.
34. Not a vegetarian because I don't want to be. And PEOPLE it's not PROTEIN deficiency it's iron. Cheeses Christ! Get it right. You know how much protein you can get from milk?? sheesh! Vegetarianism is not the healthiest diet. A diet with a bit of meat and a lot of vegetables is the healthiest. And just because you're a vegetarian doesn't mean you're healthier. I mean their isn't some magical 'justice' fairy waving her wand around and if you stop eating meat she grants you better health.
35. In this day and age vegetarianism is probably the healthier option. Meat is now mass produced and farming methods have changed so it is more susceptible to disease ie E Coli, blue tongue, mad cow etc. Many people are still unaware of how to store and cook meat properly. Whenever there is a poisoning outbreak at some outlet, it is usually meat because it has not been cooked properly or because it is out of date.
36. Not; because i like meat.
37. I am not a vegetarian God created these animals for our benefits, off course I am talking about the usual and safe kinds, and healthy consumption.. God granted us with a variety of choices and gave us the choice.. I love animals SO MUCH.. but I don't mind eating them as long as I can't see what happened to it from the farm to the plate :P
38. i was brought up that way and my mum wont let me be one untill im 21 lol
39. I am a vegetarian :) It's cruel, to put it simply. And I get the whole 'its natural its how we survive and evolve!' thing but it seems to be pretty easy to survive and evolve without eating meat - we no longer need to kill animals to survive so why do we do it? Oh right, because it tastes nice lol
40. vegetables are boring
