Being a vegitarian means for some reason you dont eat meat, however some dont eat fish or gelatin etc. I have always thought that vegetarianism was a great idea, just not for me. I think that it is great that some people feel so strongly against animal welfare that they become a vegitarian. I personally cant stand the way that some animals are treated in order for us to eat their meat, however my love for meat has simply stopped me from persuing becoming a vegitarian.

Vegetarianism is one of those incredibly devisive issues that seems to force both vegetarians and meat eaters to adopt a "you're either with us or against us" mentality. I remember during my Fresher's week here in York, I spent two hours being harrassed by a vegetarian because I was one of those filthy meat eaters. So what are the pros and cons of vegetarianism? (N.b. throughout this article when referring to vegetarianism I mean someone who does not eat meat or fish, but will eat dairy products such as milk and eggs). The Good (the pros of vegetarianism): Health. Government targets state we should eat five portions of fruit and veg a day. ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Vegetarianism: I may be the world's worst vegetarian! (664 words)

I have been a vegetarian since I was four years old (I am now 28), and I found my grandad plucking the Christmas turkey! However my mam was a strict vegetarian so this probably had an influence on me. My mam passed over when I was six years old and my auntie took over the care of me for a while. She used to give me Findus Crispy Pancakes for my tea; I had no idea that they had meat in them or I would never have eaten them! I remember my auntie's German friend coming round and giving me a big lecture about how children need meat to make them strong, etc. I hated that woman! I was then raised by my nana and grandad from the age of seven. My grandad ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Vegitarinism, yes or no? I think both. (166 words)

Why were animals put on earth? I think this question istems the debate about vegetarianism. I think the biggest reason is for them to be eaten. They aren't put here to be appreciated in the same ways we must appreciate each others as human beings; they weren't put here for us to look at. They were put here to be a part of the food-chain, humans at the top. But i have to say, hats off to vegetarians who sacrifice such good, nutritious food for how they feel and what their believes are. I really appreciate that. But i don't feel the same way and i don't think i ever will. I don't believe in killing animals for no reason though - that's just unethical. And i think animals ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review A Veggie Speaks Out For Vegetarianism And For Farmers. (1262 words)

A veggie speaks out for animals who can't speak for themselves and for farmers who are so often forgotten....... I have been vegetarian since I was 22. Prior to that I was brought up in a Lancashire family who loved meat and we ate it most days. I don't want to criticise meat eaters because I feel there is too much of that going on but just to explain my reasons for adopting this way of life, which I don't regret and which has been part of who I am. My childhood meals were Hotpot and Meat and Potato Pie. My gran lived to be 102 on this diet and she thrived on it! I became a vegetarian for many reasons but the main one was a love of animals. It isn't ...  Read the complete review
