Why do you eat vegetarian?
Asked at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave. on July 30, 2012
“I like animals and don’t like killing them — that’s the most compelling reason. And I feel better when I eat less meat. A diet with a lot of meat is inefficient, energy-wise. There are so many people struggling while we’re consuming too many resources.”
“Mostly for health reasons. Plus, producing and transporting meat is harmful to the environment.”
“I don’t agree with a lot of the practices of the meat industry. And I’ve just never really liked meat.”

You can't eat balloon animals.
Well, actually you can, but it's a waste of energy, and they have no nutrition.
Besides, latex balloon production causes deforestation, habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, production pollution, and wildlife destruction.
If you make a balloon animal, you kill a animal. It is that simple.
Ban Balloons!

Vegans wouldn't be very tasty. Too skinny to have much meat on them.

Sometimes I eat WITH vegetarians. When I do, I make sure to savor the delicious blood-rare meat on my plate while they slather various sauces on their tofu abomination to try to make it edible.

I do it for health reasons. I started eating vegetarian after seeing "Forks Over Knives" last year. I've never felt better.
