I'm kind of in the same boat. But really, I just became vegetarian when I got some common sense and realized eating meat isn't right and we aren't meant to eat it. People are too influenced by each other to eat meat, but if you think about it, many of the dinosaurs were herbivores. I really don't think eating meat is for us either.

.. and the guy Peter M below me sounds so uneducated. Our teeth are not designed to eat meat. Don't listen to him.

i aint a vegetarian...

Well, at first I stopped eating a lot of meat because i joined a food co-operative and it was vegetarian. Then My mom kept trying to get me to eat chicken when i was home. Then she eft the leftovers in the trash forever and they rotted. So I got a weird taste aversion to it. Later, I got a pet cat and realized how similar animals were to people and that it was wrong to kill them when I didn't have to.

that's funny that you say that you are a vegetarian but answering this question you said that you would eat steak if it was life and death so you obviously aren't too serious about being a vegetarian. maybe you should make up you mind and stop playing like you care about the animals if you would eat the steak. FAKER!


If you were absolutely starving?
would you eat a steak or a single lettuce
there is no other choice
and suppose that you have to journey 80 miles on foot over the mountains to reach a loved one (be it a child or spouse parent etc.)now what would you choose and state whether you are a vegetarian or carnivore

i stopped eating meat when i was eleven because i absolutely hated the texture and i hated thinking that what i was eating had been a LIVING thing at some point. something about it just seemed so unnatural that i stopped. now, i don't eat meat and will never go back because i have seen conditions in slaughter houses and know what life is like for those animals, and i refuse to support that kind of thing. it's been seven years and eating meat now would just be weird

asme reason as you. one day looking around at PETA.org and my mind was made up.

yeah me to and it makes me feel a lot better because when im not eating them, i hate to see animals suffer. I love them!

Does our closest genetic relative, the chimp, not eat meat?I've watched countless wildlife programmes where the once lovable and peaceful chimp attacks a monkey and devours it. Face it, eating meat/other animals is our evolved way to survive. Look at your teeth! Incsisors, grabing/cutting meat, molars, crunching it down. We need to eat veg aswell, but we are abviously 'designed' to eat meat. Fact.

I became a vegetarian because I never liked the taste of meat and two of my aunts are and I was always around them and I've been one for four years now. I never have the feeling that I want to eat meat.

there are many reasons for me. one such experience includes watching a worm die and struggle under the pressure of my dad's car-tire, albeitl it wasn't intentional. another was when i watched an ant die in my bathtub.

i don't know, for many reasons. i don't like the idea of eating something that is supposed to exist with us in mutuality. i don't like the idea of harvesting animal meats just to feed ourselves indulgently, escaping the basic concept of just getting our nutrients and protein. i don't like the thought of contributing to the slaughter of cows and the like. i don't like the idea of eating something that couild very well become a close "pet" of mine.

if you aren't a vegetarian, that's alright. i'm not trying to say anything against anyone who eats meat, but yeah.

to the person who said we were designed to eat meat.. whales have a vestigial structure that resembles a leg. i'm not sure how you would take this but our incisors are all from natural selection and evolution if you believe in it. it's all adaptation. just as easily, we have the choice of using them or not. i'm also sure that within thousands of years, if a certain generation decides to stop using their incisors that they would eventually be eradicated.

i suppose the same reason as u say, also because the act alone is totally unnecessary--try eating yourself why don't u if want to devour any flesh(this statement is for those u DO eat meat)

As a prospective vegetarian, you probably question whether I should have an easy vegetarian recipes. You might wonder how much of a difference one additional vegetarian can make.

And while it might be true that one vegetarian won't make huge statistical difference in a world of meat-eaters--and while it is also true that one more vegetarian probably isn't going to turn the tide in the movement-- you can do a lot as an individual that will be good for you and good for hundreds of animals.

Take, for instance, the number one cause of death in the United States and other countries with meat-centered diets: heart disease.

Many vegetarians, especially western vegetarians, are motivated by animal welfare. They see animals as our friends, with whom we share the world and not as mere food. The fact that most parents actively encourage their children to love and appreciate animals is totally contradictory to the way in which humans really respect and treat animals.
