Which of the following reasons would be most compelling to you if you were deciding to become a vegetarian? Explain just a bit please?

In my opinion all of the choices are good reasons for deciding to become a vegetarian. If you are a believer in your religion, and it says you shouldn’t eat something, then you shouldn’t eat meat. This is the reason I gave up pork.

Many animals, not all, but many are killed inhumanly. They are also raised in terrible conditions. I prefer to have my meat out of the wild or raised on a farm, out in a open pasture.

Sometimes when I start eating meat, I get sick thinking about the poor animal I am consuming. I wouldn’t be a vegetarian based on economics, but the environmental issues have made me think twice about eating a cow. However, environmental has also made me reconsider eating bananas as well.

Not all vegetarians are healthy. However, if a vegetarian eats the correct combination of foods to release the vitamins and minerals we need from eating meat... then I think it’s a wise choice. The problem now with meat is much of it is full of chemicals that harm our bodies when we eat it.

This is due to the feed that the animals are eating.

1 is Health. After all is said and done, our health is all we have. Morality and diet only come into play when considering cannibalism before your meal is dead.

Whether you kill an animal humanely or inhumanely, people eat the meat. Meat doesn't come stamped with how the animal felt being slaughtered and giving it's approval. youtube.com/watch?v=ucNYLsjKaTQ My choice of food sources does little to affect the environment overall.It's fancy and popular to think so, but in practice the only ones who impact the environment in a significant way are the manufacturers.

Vote for better laws to improve that. The price of quality vegetarian sources are on par with meats as that is what the market will bear unless I can grow my own food. Religious beliefs, for me, are on par with Health because of what the Bible says about taking care of our bodies and gives specific guidelines on what the best diet (at that time) was.

If not for how polluted our meat is today I might even consider having meat but the best diet is without meat - at least it is where I live.

My religion does not prohibit me to eat meat except during Lent Season where we have to abstain on that. I think the main reason that I would become vegetarian would be because of environmental reason. It is important for us to be take care of Mother Earth for without her we will not survive on this earth.

There are many animals that become extinct so I think that if I become vegetarian it could make a difference albeit a small one.

I have to say the only reason there that would likely make me cut down on my meat eating would be 4. Economic.. in the sense I could no longer afford it. I would go hunting more and supplement it that way but you never know if there's no meat, there's no meat.

Aside from that nothing. I'm a firm believer humans are naturally meant to eat meat as any other omnivore in the food chain. My religion certainly does not frown meat eating.

Morally we are no more guilty than a wolf taking down a moose, and meat eating like most things is perfectly healthy when not done in excess.

My religion does not forbid me from eating meat, but that would seem to me the only compelling reason out of the 4 that you stipulated to not eat meat. It would be out of a spiritual motivation guided by faith. I would not have to rationalize it further, because it would be an issue of faith.

All the other reasons I could find solid ground to not be a vegetarian, so I find them not compelling at all. I am not a vegetarian, I have no intention of becoming a vegetarian, but support those who are vegetarians, for whatever reason they chose to do so, as long as they do not impose their way of life on me, neither actively nor passively.

I don't have a ton of respect for people who choose to become vegetarian for economic or environmental reasons and I personally eat more vegetables (though I still love a great steak) for health reasons, but people who do it for religious or moral reasons garner more respect from me. I've known a lot of vegetarians over the years, some flexitarians, and some who claim to be vegetarian when the mood strikes or it is socially acceptable. The one "I like animals better than I like most people.

I'll go back to eating meat when I can eat people. " s words were a bit strange, but I agree with the sentiment in some ways. Animals are far less offensive than most people, so he had least had a reason for his vegetarianism.

Personally, I have forward facing eyes and ripping and shredding teeth as well as grining teeth which makes me an omnivore. I probably consume more meat that I should, but I enjoy it and I'll continue to eat it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
