Answer 9

That is some interesting information. I've always wanted to be a vegetarian for two reasons-

1. i love animals

2. i'm not a fan of meat

BUT, i'm quite the picky eater..i don't really like vegtables, and i eat alot of carbs. So, i feel like if i were to become a vegetarian i'd get even more unhealthy and gain alot of weight??

Answer 10

I'm already a vegetarian and I became one when we passed a Slaughter house and I complained about those poor cows then my dad basically bet that I wouldn't last being a vegetarian for more then two weeks, and that bet was 3 years ago. I love being a vegetarian and the only thing that Could change me back to a meat eater was IF I had any health issues from being one.

I would like more information and resources.
