Vegetarian Roll Call

[Sybil Vane]

And was it because (if only a teensey weensey bit) you were inspired by someone in particular?

[Uncleskinny]

I had a Vegetarian Roll at lunchtime. It didn't make any noise, let alone call.

Ba-Dum-Tish!

Anyhoo - I don't eat meat because I never liked it, simple as that. I feel a bit of a fraud in here when people are vegetarians for moral reasons, which I totally buy in to, but that's not how I started. As I've said before, the way meat gets to consumers these days is a disgrace.

Same here.

I'm from the area of Japan where is well-known for pork dishes, but I don't like meat in general.

Morrissey has opened up the ideas of vegetarianism for me. I certainly didn't do it for him. I credit him and all the other fans here with making me aware and for that I am very grateful. I never really liked meat much; I always liked lighter fare. Actually a few years ago, I used to buy a whole chicken, and the idea of splitting it up into parts made me ill. I see vegetarianism as a process, just like quitting smoking, if you go cold turkey, most likely you will not succeed. There is nothing about vegetarianism that doesn't make good sense.

I dont eat meat because i never liked the thought of eating a dead animal

[Cosey Mo]

I don't eat meat because I don't want to be guilty of the needless killing and mistreatment of animals, for I love animals.
I also don't like the taste or texture of meat or fish. ...

And who stopped eating meat for purely moral reasons, although they LOVED it?

That'd be me.

I've been a strict vegetarian for almost a decade now (I started when I was a freshman in high school). I did it--and continue to do it--for purely moral reasons. I do not believe that we should needlessly take the lives of other living creatures in order to eat them, when we have so many other options available. There is enough suffering in the world as it is--I don't think that we should cause more, when we have the choice not to. Killing for pleasure--whether that means deer hunting, fishing, or eating a steak--is, in my mind, horrifying, and inexcusable.

To be honest, EPBabe, I don't remember whether I really liked eating meat or not. At one point I did, I suppose, before I really realized what meat was, and where it came from. Now, of course, the very thought of eating it again nauseates me.

I'm going to shut up this time.

Meat is good

Meat is the opposite of good. Meat is death, pain, lost potential, suffering.

Living animals are what are good. Living animals who can think, feel, play, eat, sleep, enjoy existence. They have as much a right to life as we humans do.
