I was wondering how many of you are vegatirans and why....

Shouldn't this be in a different section?

And not under religion?

Sorry if I'm wrong but yeah..

I'm pretty sure it should be under a different section.

But anyways I am a vegitarian.
I have never really liked the thought of people killing animals and then eating them.
It just groses me out.
Also what they put into the meats.
The chemicals and hormones aren't good for you but the government insists that they are just fine.
Finally eating an animal makes me physically sick. I feel sick for a few days after too.

I'm what's considered a pescetarian, meaning I eat seafood but no other meat. 3 years ago I decided to try giving up meat after reading about the health benefits and, admittedly, a few PETA videos and just never went back. My main reason for not eating meat is that I don't trust the meat industry at all. I don't want to eat hormones or potentially diseased animals flesh, and now the FDA has approved cloned meat for consumption. I don't want any part of it. I eat fish because it's healthy and I enjoy it. Unfortunately, due to overfishing, I'm going to be missing it pretty soon. =[

My close friend has recently become a vegitarian, and i love messing with him. Any time we go out to eat, i always make sure to order something with meat just to bother him.

Um... just for the record... it's spelled vegetarian

And I've been vegetarian for almost 6 years now because I don't like the thought of munching on a carcass and I don't like to think something had to die just to feed my hunger when there are other ways I can get my protein without the added fats and chemicals and whatnots. And informational videos made me cry... some from PETA even though I don't believe half the things they say unless they have proof and some from actual documentaries. I don't like the animals' suffering for us just because we think we have a right to eat them.

im confused on the moving thing but on the not eating meat thing i mean i respect you peeps and all but ever think about all the land and forest that has been destroyed/dozed/burned and animals killed indirectly/habitat destroyed for farmland to grow your veggies??? or another great question why worry about animal when you can worry about the human slave trade and the little kids that die making your clothes (the die in its raw form is often poisonous and gets into their blood stream) and the human sex slave trade?

What about all the wheat and grain used to raise livestock for slaughter that could be used to feed those starving children? Same with the land issue. Forests are plowed over and used to create the farmland to raise the slaughtered animals. We help where we can.

I have to agree. Everything that you said I agree with. We aren't using anymore land to grow our food than farmers are using to grow food for the animals that are slaughtered daily to feed those who eat meat.
