same here. i couldn't see myself doing without meat in my diet. it would feel like a cardinal sin.

I eat almost no meat, just out taste. I only recently even noticed. Other than home made sandwiches, with I eat a couple times a week, I mostly eat pasta. Not the same thing, I guess.

Some may think I'm insane...hahaI've been vegetarian since birth and vegan for the past 3 years. I'm 20. It's not that I like animals so much...I just really hate plants.

Lol, this is the best reason I've seen for being a vegetarian.

I could never do it---the body needs protein and without meat, your protein options are extremely limited. If people are concerned about the treatment of animals, chemicals, etc.--there ARE ways to purchase organic, grass-fed, antibiotic/hormone free, humanely treated meat. I've recently decided to make the switch--no more purchases of meat from the supermarket--i get it all shipped to me.Besides, without meat, March 14 would just suck.

[Don Giovanni]

there is no reason to be a vegetarian, other than attention maybe?

Does anyone think that most species (cow, chicken, pig) that we domesticate to eventually eat (or use for milk) would be extinct by now, say if we had given it up and released them all in 1850? The idea won't justify domestication if you're against it; just a thought I had.

I stole this from another thread. I think it's relevant. Anyone who's considering vegetarianism must realize that they'd be turning their backs on the ecstasy that is the hamdog:"The Hamdog." The dish, a specialty of Mulligan's, a suburban bar in Atlanta, is a hot dog wrapped by a beef patty that's deep fried, covered with chili, cheese and onions and served on a hoagie bun. Oh yeah, it's also topped with a fried egg and two fistfuls of fries. "If you choke that down [a Hamdog], you might as well find a heart surgeon because you are going to need one."-Dr. Nicholas Lang, Central Arkansas Veterans Healthcare System

For every animal you don't eat, I'll eat 3.

[diamondhead]

Since we're talking about it. What is the theory behind or reason to be a vegetarian?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? You obviously haven't ever purchased grass fed organic meat. It is FAAAR better tasting meat than i've ever had before. Expensive--yeah--but it is certainly worth it.And i can't believe you guys didn't catch the best pun i've thought of in months:

If I had the will power, I'd be a vegetarian. As of now, I try to only eat organic meat and I never eat unnecessarily cruel meats such as veal or foie gras (not that I could afford it anyway). The best arguments against vegetarianism are the health concerns, I think. From what I've observed, there are some people who do really well without any meat in their diets and there are some that require meat to be healthy. I guess it all differs from body to body. My support of vegetarianism is based on the issue of cruelty to animals. Animals that are kept in mass captivity lead cruel lives and die horrible deaths. I'd be better with the whole situation if animals were allowed to freely graze and given enough space to live. But then again I’m a pretty big hypocrite about the whole issue. Well, I guess it’s better to admit that I’m a hypocrite than to pretend that I’m not.

People of course have various reasons. Some reasons as Yorke pointed out are that the meat we generally eat is pumped full of all kinds of crap and the animals are treated so poorly. Organic meat is by far the better choice Other reasons are its a lot more healthier for you as its usually a diet that isnt near as high in fat

Nope. Someone had to say it.

For those of you that dont eat meat try the Plaza's buffet....I'll swear the ribs and chicken fried steak didnt originate from animalsI still get a kick from the "humanely" killed animal crap...I guess instead of killing them with a .22 rifle or cutting their throats with a rusty butcher knife they are given a choice of a final meal followed by heavy sedation before being "put to sleep"......the real suffering begins when the meat is introduced into the wifes meatloaf
