Health is not the only reason that one might choose to be vegetarian (consuming no meat, although some vegetarians will eat fish, eggs, or milk products), vegan (no animal products whatsoever), or anything in between. Many people make the choice for reasons having to do with their religious beliefs, spiritual progression, or environmental or political activism. According to a 2004 poll, 2.8% of Americans are vegetarian - for all of these reasons and more.
If you are avoiding meat for ethical reasons having to do with the treatment of animals, you might be interested to learn that many religious and spiritual traditions decry the use of animals as food. Many people experience greater mental and spiritual clarity by going on a vegetarian diet.
As for the environment, vegetarianism is seen as a solution to the destruction of rainforests (many of which are clear-cut in order to create pasture land for cattle and other meat animals) as well as world hunger. So please sign today! Thank you so much!
