Just wondering how many of you are vegetarians, and why you chose to be. I'm not a vegetarian, and my father raises cattle, so I've never even considered it, but I know a lot of people are.

Not quite a vegetarian but trying to avoid meat which is hard. I avoid meat because it stays up to 72 hours in our digestive system and so it makes me fat easily. I do eat meat once in a while like twice a month or when I visit a friend who served meat. It's just polite to do so.
