What got you to give up meat?
I gave it up the second my parents would let me…I tried when I was 14, I had just started to understand where meat actually comes from and the horrible conditions of the living animals before a brutal slaughter and I didnt want to be a consumer anymore, but I was forbidden…so I decided again when I was 17 and I was able to switch. I am on my fourth year now (switched august 13, 2010)

I stopped eating meat in 2009 because I watched all of these videos of how they kill the animals, and also I didn’t eat much meat in the first place, so I thought why not? and here I am today still a vegetarian

I stopped eating meat about eight years ago, because every time I looked at the burger or chicken or whatever I was eating all I could think about was the poor animal that had to die just for this one meal for me, and I would feel so guilty. I feel so much happier without it and I don’t even miss the taste of it. Best decision I’ve made.

Because alot of the food you see for sale (excluding natural resources like fruint n veg) are not food but actually products. They contain chemical substances that lead to numerous diseases, resulting in people relying on the medical economy which creates even more illness further down the line.
These genetically modified foods also have chemicals which are injected into animals prior to slaughtering them.
So when you eat the flesh of an animal, your not only consuming injected chems and modified chems when they’re pre-packaged, but also you’re ingesting the bad energy of that animal.
Imagine how it felt before being slaughtered etc.
These are just a few reasons why many people on here are the way they are subconsciously.

I’m 14 now and I only started a month ago, but it makes me feel so much better about myself. I know it sounds cheesy, but i do feel like I’m helping animals and helping save the world by not eating meat. It also helps my metabolism, so I am losing weight, which is good.

Ive been vegetarian for just over a year now (on and off pescetarian for 5 years before that). It’s all for the animals, because I care about them and I will be helping them for the rest of my life (as a vet tech). I plan on going vegan as soon as I can.

I’m from India and my mom’s side of the fam are pure “brahmans”( basically, there are 4 castes and brahmans are the highest and they are pure vegans) but my dad drinks, eats non veg and all so does my sis (but she does it secretly, like without my grandparents knowing). My mom says i can whatever I wish to but she secretly wants me to carry on the ‘legacy’/whatever, I can see it in her heart..SO that’s why I chose to scarifice it..I did taste it once and it didn’t feel bad or anything..for now I’m an eggitarian
