A lot of people are vegeterians for various reasons. I'm in the middle of attempting to turn vegeterian, however since I work out and have much bigger protein needs, I am still trying to learn different ways, and I won't be excluding Eggs or Cheese from a diet, as Eggs are possibly the, or one of the best protein sources available.

My reason is mainly through animal rights, I don't care what points people bring up, why should I contribute to the abuse. One more sale is one more reason for a company that has no regard for animal life to put thier flesh on a supermarket shelf.

I do enjoy meat, but there are meat alternatives which I tried and I couldn't tell the difference whatsoever, so I was happy. The only reason I'm eating meat is for the protein and the complete amino acids, which can be found in other sources and supplements

As far as milk goes, don't cows go through a lot of pain if they aren't milked? It helps justify it a bit that milk and cheese are fine, plus they are great sources of food. I eat food for the need, if it tastes good even better. I think the term is lacto-vegeterian..
