I would explain the benefits of everything vegetarian. If they want to know more on why you want to become vegetarian than be ready to answer their questions. Ge them to understand from your point of view. cheers. It’s great that you don’t want to eat meat anymore.

They are the most populous bird on the planet - why? Because there are billions of chickens in factory farms every moment being tortured and slaughtered because people like the way they taste and think fried or grilled chicken flesh is healthier than eating a bloody steak. By the way, a great resource if you're interested in giving up animal flesh is TryVeg-com. :) You can order free vegetarian starter guide, recipe booklet, and other good stuff from the same organization at cok-net - click on the Marketplace on the sidebar.

That's absolutely false. In case you haven't noticed, more and more we're hearing about things like peanut butter, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, etc. making people ill with food poisoning. Vegetables and grains are just as likely to cause food poisoning as meat is and that's because of two things; a) spores in the dirt, which are natural, can very easily cause illness. This is where botulism comes from, and given the right conditions, those spores will multiply and can become deadly if consumed. Which brings me to the next reason, b) the food regulations in this country SUCK and our food is often poorly handled. Most other countries don't run the risk of e. coli or salmonella poisoning because they don't make all the animals they slaughter sit in their own piss and shit for a few months before we consume them. More and more I want to become a vegetarian. There are so many good reasons to and really the only reason not to is because "animals are tasty." Luckily, I live in Portland and there are hardly any restaurants here that don't cater to the vegetarian/vegan crowd.
