Vegetarianism is very good!I am personally a vegetarian, and i think it is the best thing that i do.I don't belive that it is right to eat helpless animals.I couldn't imagine ridding by a farm,and seeing cows,then going to Burger King and eating a Whopper.Some people say that your body needs meat,but there are other ways for your body to get what it needs, with out eating animals!!!I think animals are beautiful and i would never eat them!!

I think that it is a vegetarians choice to not eat meat, but i think that being a vegan is wrong because in The Bible it tells us that God gave us the right to eat meat.
Neither. It depends on a person's body and how compatible it is for them, but it's definitely not a "good" diet for all.
Animals are affected by vegetarianism as well as the environment and the people who partake in vegetarianism.
Vegetarianism is very good for the environment. Animals produce large amounts of CO2. It also takes a lot more water to produce a kilogram of meat compared to a kilogram of vegetables.

A choice; no one can force you to be one! Many never choose vegetarianism.
Henry Stephens Salt is the author of a 1988 essay entitled A Plea for Vegetarianism.
Meat can have an agitating, aggressive quality to it, so avoiding it can make one more peaceful. Respecting the lives of animals can increase kindness, compassion, and help you avoid bad karma. Respect for the earth is central to many faiths, and vegetarianism is easier on the environment.
That's not really relevant to vegetarianism since it's more about choices within that. For example a vegetarian who eats a lot of sweets will have just as bad teeth as a non-vegetarian. Sometimes vegetarianism has no impact one way or the other any more than how tall you are or eye colour has an impact.
I'm guessing ovo-lacto vegetarianism--it has the least restrictions of vegetarian diets that I know of...
