I am vegetarian because I don't want to die young, like my grandmother did in 2001 (she was only 62 and was morbidly obese)

I am vegetarian because I feel great, I require less sleep and I never wake up tired.

My skin is smooth and free of acne.

I still have cravings for meat, but will never eat it again.

Answer 12

I'm vegan because:

1) I feel better

2) It's healthier and makes me less prone to cardiovascular disease in the future and cancer

3) Humans are not designed to eat high fat and high cholestrol diets. Our intestines and colon are more anatomically similar to herbivores and we are the only species that drinks another species milk (cow and goat) which is unatural.

4) It's better for the enviornment

5) I do not support the meat/dairy/egg industries and how they treat animals inhumanely.

-------------------------

To the fifth poster: That's like saying "I'm not going to vote because it probably won't make a difference"

You're wrong. If everybody had that mentality, then nothing would ever change. There will always be suffering, but we can still do our part to lessen it. It may not seem like individually we're helping to change something but in the grand scheme of things, we are.

So don't try that logic.

Answer 13

Because as a Christian I feel that not eating God's creatures is a great way to show the compassion and love that was taught by Jesus.....
