Why do people vegetate?

Answer 1

"Vegetating" is the act of lazing about and moving as little as possible, like a vegetable. It usually involves as little thinking as possible. Once in a while, it is good to totally relax and do nothing. People who vegetate on a regular basis, though, may be suffering from depression.

Answer 2

• Religious
• Health benefits
• Hates to see animals killed (Values)
• Lose weight
• New Years Resolution (After a year of no meat, usually participants will have a meat party)
• Don't like the taste of meat

Answer 3

Because farming animals to slaughter is wrong. They are kept in horrible conditions then butchered, then sold in pieces at a butchers. (I'm almost sick writing this). The choice is totally up to you but, you asked.

There is no reason why they should or should not. Humans have evolved to be omnivorous.

Comments such as the above reflect a personal choice and fuelled by emotion not by logic. Usually by the members of comparatively wealthy nations.

Meat is a good source of protein. As with any other foodstuff, when eaten as part of a balanced diet, is a healthy choice.

Answer 4

There are many different reasons why a person might be vegetarian. The movement to omit meat from a diet is becoming more popular every year. Many people do it for health reasons, and most are partially vegetarian (still possibly eating fish or white meat, just nit red meat). Religion is a large factor in why millions of people do not eat meat. More recently, studies and research has shown that a low-meat or meatless diet can also be better for the environment. A love for animals has also always been a sting driving force behind vegetarianism and veganism.

Answer 5

There are vegetarians for many reasons. Some people have an intolerance for meat. Others simply don't like to eat meat. For many, a vegetarian diet has been prescribed by a doctor as part of an anti-cancer food regime.

But there are far more widespread reasons for being vegetarian and many, many people choose a vegetarian lifestyle as a result:

(1) Vegetarianism promotes healthier skin and complexion.

(2) Vegetarianism has been shown to extend life expectancy.

(3) Vegetarianism can promote endurance and stamina.

(4) Vegetarianism is environmentally responsible.

(5) Vegetarianism is humane and avoids the spilling of innocent blood (the animals we eat).

(6) Vegetarianism done properly is a healthy lifestyle.

(7) A vegetarian diet done correctly is rich in protein, minerals, vitamins, roughage, and all the things a human body needs.

(8) A vegetarian diet contains very little, if any, of the harmful chemicals, hormones, and metals like lead and Mercury that is found in a meat-based diet.

There are a lot more reasons to be a vegetarian but this is a good start.
