are you a vegetarian? what do you think about it?  

That's one weird superstition.

Most vegans do it for health reasons (vegetables take less energy to get digested, so it's said that vegans have more energy within), while some just hate the idea of killing animals for food.

The Bible said that we humans are supposed to eat vegetables only, but if they run out, we could resort to eating animal flesh.

I am not a vegetarian, but I think being one is one of the greatest thing I could ever do in life. I love animals very much, but I still eat meat. I just try to eat more veggies.

Am not a Vegan. According to me, a man cannot live without killing other creatures and eating it. Plants also have life, and we kill them also to get our food, if we are vegan. If that is going to happen for sure, why not take up non-vegetarian food?

well I am a vegetarian myself and I do it for health reasons. I believe that being a vegetarian makes me healthier than when I am not a vegetarian. I eat all kinds of vegetables especially those that are rich in fibers. I consume a lot of tomatoes. I eat red tomatoes almost everyday because it makes me feel good.

i am not a vegetarian, all i eat must have meat

I used to be a vegetarian. I done it to save animals lives... I have a big heart for animals and even though I am back to eating meat I feel bad for them. I have no problem eating meat, but I feel like the way the animals are treated in order for us to get this meat is a little disgusting! I rather eat something that was shot and drug out of the woods... because before it was killed it wasn't beaten, fed insanely weird sh't, and kicked around.

nice discussion! happy mylotting

Well I am a non-vegetarian. I eat chicken and beef and i enjoy fish and mollusks.
I am from India, and here there are many communities that are vegetarians. Bhramins community of Hindu religion in south India are an example.
By Hindu religion believes Cow is sacred and so Hindus shouldn't eat cow meat.

But younger population of the communities are getting more and more comfortable with non-veg..here now people are turning vegetarian because of health concern rather than based on believes..

I tried but it didn't work for me, I cant live a day without doing my role in the food chain. The people can call me a savage all they want but food is a food, a meal is a meal, You cant say no if its delicious.

Wow! I have never heard that before. How could what I eat here help or hurt someone who is gone to the other side? I prefer a vegetarian diet for my health's sake! Most people here think I am crazy as I live in the southern US and it's a meat eating society!

I am a pure vegetarian.Being a Brahmin (Hindu priestly class) i am not allowed to eat non-veg.When i was a small kid i was mad at non-veg food and i used to eat it furtively like once in a year or so.But when i grew up i quit eating non veg food forever.Now i am regretting that i shouldn't have eaten it when i was small.Man's teeth and digestive system is designed for vegetarian foods.And killing animals for eating their flesh is cruelty.Go to a slaughterhouse in your vicinity and see how brutally they kill innocent animals..If you have a conscience you wont eat non-vegetarian food again.
By the way, is it true that chinese eat dogs?Dogs are man's best friends :(

I think a large percentage of vegetarians abstain from eating meat for health reason. It's link to some types of cancers and it's very high in fat.

I personal am a vegetarian solely because I think it's morally object able to eat an animal. I don'y wear or buy leather or fur either. If someone doesn't have any other nutritional alternatives than meat, in my opinion, that's different. But for me, I think it would be wrong.
