Answers:
PROS
1!. More fiber in your diet, less junk in your colon to poison your blood stream!.
2!. No more feeling bloated!.
3!. Healthier in general!. Your body's pH prefers to be alkaline!. This keeps you the healthiest!. While you won't be immune to everything and anything, things like diabetes, infections, viruses, and even cancer flourish in an acidic environment!. Plant foods produce "alkaline ash," which keeps your body's pH more alkaline!. Meats produce "acid ash," which, you guessed it, switches your body's pH to be more acidic!. Notice that most of the people who have diabetes are people who eat meat-heavy diets!. It's not a coincidence, unfortunately!.
4!. Raw fruits and vegetables provide you helpful enzymes that can break down your food!. Meat doesn't, which is why you feel so bloated afterwards!. This lack of enzymes also produces inflammation, which is why people who have joint problems, chronic inflammation (like arthritus or asthma) do better when they cut down on or cut out meat!.
5!. If you're a fan of animals and hate animal cruelty, know you aren't participating in their inhumane slaughter!. While animals do slaughter each other in the wild, it's not the same way we do it!.
CONS
1!. Having to really sift through and scrutinize a menu, and possibly having to piece together a meal, instead of just sitting down at a restaurant and being able to eat anything you'd like!.
2!. Having to remind people that you are a vegetarian and that they need to stop being d*cks about it and just let you enjoy your meat-free lifestyle!. Some people bug you about it and I've heard of other people saying, "Taste it, it's meat-free!" only to tell you that you just ate meat after taking a bite!. I have no idea why people do this!.
3!. Having to constantly hear that you need to take multi-vitamins and supplements!. I eat no animal products and I also bodybuild!. I don't take supplements!. I get what I need from my food!.
4!. Having to deal with people who think they should tell you how to eat!. This is different from point 2 because point 2 refers to friends/family!. Here, I'm talking about random strangers overhearing that you're vegetarian and they get in your business about it!.
5!. If you aren't doing it for the animals and/or don't like PETA, you'll hear people harp on you for being stupid for caring about animals!.
At the end of the day, you feel better physically and morally, so screw 'em!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The advantages are that it's cheaper and much healthier (although not necessarily lower-fat, depending on what you eat and how you cook it), safer (since vegetables are not so dangerous when they spoil), more environmentally sound (methane from livestock is the largest contributor to global warming), and a more ethical choice!.
The disadvantages are social - it can be awkward when people either don't know, understand or respect how your vegetarianism works - and that it can be very difficult to eat a satisfactory vegetarian diet when travelling!. There is also a willpower element - a lot of vegetarians, especially the newer ones, crave some sort of meat product they used to eat, even when they know it's disgusting in concept!. The burger!.!.!.but the guilt, and the blood!.!.!.but the burger!!!.!.!.etc!.
There also some additives to foods that you don't expect, which makes them non-vegetarian (parmesan and some white wines, for example)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
