my answer is yes. not very long ago, when i found many people here were vegetarians, it really surprised me. cause in my mind, meat was so delicious. i just wondered how they could say goodbye to such delicious food. now i understand. cause eating vegetables is much healthier than eating meat. and animals are all lives, they have their right to live on the earth. so i'll be a vegetarian and only eat vegetables no meat from now on. :)
will you choose to be a vegetarian? have you ever thought about being a vegetarian? and why or why not?

i used to like eating meat too. i would think it was impossible for me not to eat meat in the past. but when i decided to be a vegetarian, that doesn't seem so painful. vegetables are delicious as well. even though i am just a starter, i have confidence in myself to always be a vegetarian. :)

I would love to try being a strict vegetarian. Although I can say now that I would prefer vegetables over meat anytime. But with my lifestyle, it's hard to stick to vegetarian diet alone because I eat out most of the time and sometimes I would eat in those places that are convenient like fast foods. I hope I could change this eating habit now because I do not really think it's healthy. I also admire people who can manage to stick with this kind of diet. It really needs a lot of self-discipline especially at the start.

i am living in school,so it's easy for me to just eat vegetables. and what's more, it's cheaper than meat. :) i don't like fast food. just as you said, it's not healthy. i prefer to cook it myself. cooking is a very funny thing. maybe you can have a try. good luch for you.

Right now, I am a flexitarian. I eat a mostly vegetarian diet with some meat now and then. Recently, I have decided to eat a vegetarian about three days or week or more. I have adrenal problems and I think it makes it hard for me to eat meat, though I'm not sure. I've never been a really big meat-eater and I think that fruits and starchy foods taste way better than meat. But, meat has a lot of amino acids, vitamins, and minerals in it that are fast and easy to get. I would be a full-time vegetarian if it wasn't for all the weight lifting that I do and it's hard to really keep and gain muscle while being a vegetarian. It's possible, but more difficult. So, I still eat some meat on some days and I still drink milk and occasionally have an egg.

my answer is yes too. I love vegetables, and sometimes I feel sorry towards the animals. however, I cannot enter the phase of becoming vegetarian because the people in the house still love eating meats. so there would always be times when I feel really sick towards the foods, and I would only pick up the vegetables menu and let the members of my family pick up the meats.
meat was delicious but as some people grow towards the interest for vegetables and for the loving animals lives rather than killing them nor even hurting them, they would say goodbye to such delicious foods.

Once, i did thought about it but I never really tried it at all. I do eat vegetables but with meat. There are certain vegetables that I can eat alone without meat but I can't eat vegetables only for the whole week. I will cry. Definitely i will cry. Huhuhu. maybe if I grow a little older and become health conscious, i will try it. But not now please. Take care. I admire you!

Oh that'a a good idea. You are right!! many people now a days choose to be a vegetarian because there are many sort of disease brought by eating meat all the time. You can get nurtients in meat substitute. There are available meat substitute in the market today. Vege-meat tastes like real meat. And they are healthy too.

I admire people who are vegetarians. My family has been vegetarian off and on over the years. Most of them are vegetarian right now but I'm not. I love vegetables and crave them because I don't get many in my diet. I;m not sure I could be 100% vegetarian but I'd be willing to give it a shot.
