I don't need to condone cruelty to survive. I'm vegan.

Because I think it's cruel to kill with no need.
Because it's healthier.
Because I'll probably live longer.

I don't like seeing animals die.
I like animals.
I care about our environment (I'm and environmentalist).
I want to be more in tune with nature.
The other animals were here first. (we are animals too)
I never liked meat to begin with (often, when I still ate meat, I had to choke it down unless it was absolutely drenched in some sort of thousand calorie sauce full of fat that masked the flavor and texture of the meat)
I would like to be healthier.
Plant matter tastes better!
The only animal products I've ever been fond of are milk, cheese, and yogurt (the consuming of which does not harm anything, the cows want to be milked)
The world is going to (insert place of the devil) and I'd like to slow that process down.

Because I was trying to be trendy like my hippie granola friends. I later came to my senses and enjoy animals again, both as companions and dinner.

I eat meat because every vegan I know is annoying and preachy. There are some in my family, and it is sooooo annoying to sit down to a great meal and have to listen to the vegans insulting the meal. No matter how many vegan dishes were prepared especially for them, so they could enjoy thier dinner, they still feel the need to be rude about the meat dishes……. which nobody expects them to eat, or even pass(rolling eyes)

i just kept getting disgusting thoughts into my head while i was eating meat, eventually it really started to gross me out, so i just stopped

because i didn't want to harm any animals, plus to be healthier than i was before. so i'm happy. but i still can't find any good veggie burger places.

I am vegan. My original reasoning was because my health. I suffer from many serious food allergies and intolerances along with a chronic disease which affects my digestive system. Since I adopted a vegan diet I found it wasn't that much more difficult to adopt the lifestyle as well.

I actually get a lot of trouble from other vegans, saying that Im a fake or selfish vegan.

My theory is no matter my reasoning behind becoming vegan it still has the same result as anyone else's. I do not support animal cruelty by purchasing products that come from factory farms, i do not purchase leather or other products made from non man-made sources, and I do not purchase products that have been tested on animals.

Health reasons. But as I researched into a healthy veggie diet, I found myself disgusted that I ate innocent animals.

i am 13 nd i hav bin vegan since i was born…mum obv was vegan wen she had me nd so decided 4 me until i was old enuff 2 myself nd then i decided 2 stay vegan cos i dnt think its rite 2 harm animals

if you pick and eat the right foods your fat counts are less than regular food . i had to become a vegie person

Because I dont want to support animal cruelty.

And I've started switching from vegetarian to vegan the past week and I feel loads better. I've been eating much healthier and I feel GREAT

Vegan. =]

1. Animal rights.
2. Health
3. Hopefully live longer
=D

I'm a vegetarian. I became one because i don't believe in breeding and raising animals only to subject them to awful torture and then being slaughtered for us to eat. One vegetarian saves an average of 100 animals a year, so i feel great for doing it. I also feel a lot healthier, and feel like a good person.

Originally, athletics. It wasn't my goal to become vegan — never even heard of the word back then. I just did research on human diet and digestion etc. and decided that animal products just don't belong in our system and hinder performance. I was right, my performance went way up. My recovery was far faster. Years and years of acne disappeared in a couple weeks. These things and more just spurred me onwards to a more healthy lifestyle.

I am vegan because I love animals and I wanted to expand my horizons with food. I have tried so many different foods that I never would have even considered when I wasn't vegan. I will never go back. I love it and food companies keep coming out with more and more vegan foods. There are so many meat and cheese alternatives out there!

majority are meat lovers, I want to be with minority

I know a family who became vegan after their 3-years-old daughter was found to have many animal protein allergies. The doctor said that it would be better for their girl to be vegan before she develops more animal protein allergies. She allergic to diary, pork, chicken, and shellfish.

because i believe the world would be a better place if everyone just lived off the land instead of depending on animals and abusing them in order to obtain food that is unnecessary.
just think, the environment would be better, people's health would be better, no more animal cruelty, things would be natural…

Vegetarian.

Why? Found out that the med's that I have to take for epilepsy don't react well when I eat meat (as in throw up) – so the choice was simple.

I mean – if you had the choice of peti maul seizures or not eating meat – what would you choose??

It took me some time to figure it all out – and the loss of 50 pounds that I dropped way too quick. Now holding steady at 150 which for me and my build is a very good weight.
