My reasons for not eating meat? Why do I need a reason? Why do you eat meat?


I have been a vegetarian since I was 16 years old. This is my response every time someone asks me why I don't eat meat. I ask them why they CHOOSE to eat meat. 98% of the time, the person struggles to come up with an answer. The other 2%? "Because it tastes good". (eye roll). My vegetarian cooking is better tasting than any meat! Try again.

Because I'm more evolved than you are. I like to grow my food, rather than hunt/kill my food.

Just kidding..juuust kidding

I don't like the taste. Gave it up 25 years ago.

So have been mostly vegetarian since age 12, and completely vegetarian since age 23 (stopped eating fish). I'm not convinced it's always the "healthiest" way to eat but have zero interest in going back to eating meat.

My DH still eats fish but does not eat red meat, poultry, or pork and that's been the case since before we met. He has totally different reasons than I do.


I'm pretty similar, plus concerns about antibiotics. We are raising our kids veg. You would not know this about us unless we are good friends. I don't go around berating people for their choices.

because the costs are too high



Also, what's good enough for Cory Booker is good enough for everyone!



Let's go Booker in 2020!

Raised Hindu
Cant justify raising and killing animals to eat them
Treatment of livestock, the disgustingness of the meat, poultry and feedlot industries overall
Health, but definitely the smallest resaon. I accept that eating meat can be healthy.

Strange question. What is it exactly that you want to know?

My daughter is one. She went on a trip through camp to a farm where there were chickens and she was upset at how they were treated. She thought about it for a good 8 or 9 months before announcing her vegetarianism.

I am not one. It's a huge pain in the ass for me.
