Answer 1

Yeah.. :)   I am for 2 years and One half.   The ONe half was that fir 1 year I tried really hard like I would  eat meat Once every 3 weeks :)

Answer 2

Yes, I am vegan.  I became a vegetarian in 1987 for a variety of reasons, including ethical, environmental and health considerations.  I stopped eating meat all at once and eliminated other slaughter by-products over the course of the first few months as I learned what gelatin and rennet were.  I became vegan 8 months ago for the same reasons that I initially went vegetarian.

Answer 3

Yep I am

how: cut out all animal products

when:12 years ago

why: I don't support the practices of the meat/animal food product industry

Answer 4

over 3 months ago(not very long i know), i did it cause i feel bad for the animals, i see it baiscally as slavery how they are born into it, and then dont even get to forfill their own life,

i think saying your parents are forcing you to eat meat is lame, my mom totally thinks this is some fad im going though, my family also keeps having meat all the time and stuff, i just dont eat it and usually have cereal, i really cant see anyones mom actually force feeding them meat,

Answer 5

yes

went on a fast then didn't start eating meat again

about 3 months ago

because i felt like it!

Answer 6

Yes, I am a vegan.

I just decided that animals have the right NOT to be eaten! We are animals and we do not want to be eaten when we die and be tortured, and starved and abandoned by companies who would own us, would we.

So turn vegan now!

Answer 7

I have been a vegetarian for 10 years now.

I had thought it about it quite a while before I did it, but not seriously.  The idea of eating a dead animal always disturbed me as long as I can remember, but I never knew any vegetarians in real life.

My freshman year of high school, for history class, I read a book (The Jungle by Upton Sinclair) that has some fairly disgusting description of meat packing plants about a hundred years ago.  I stopped eating meat for a few days at first and then decided to make it permanent.

Answer 8

No, I'm not.

I dont like meat all that much though.

So I may as well be.

Why: Ethics

Answer 13

I was from age 3-13

but i was an ovo-vegan. so i ate dairy products. Just not meats.

My parents brought me up like that, but they let me have my own choice later on. They just dont like it if i eat too much or eat 'heavy' meats like beef or pork instead of fish.

Reasons were health and ethics. As well as a little religious influence (like karma)
