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 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.
