Nov 6, 2017 at 23:18 comment added Megurin I was raised vegetarian. I come from Indian background, and my parents did not consume any meat because of religious restrictions. And I have just continued being a vegetarian despite being non-religious, and moving to the United States about 18 years back. I found it hard to eat out when I first came to the US, but now I'm delighted to see so many vegetarian options being offered in decent places like Panera bread, Jason's Deli, Corner Bakery, and even Wendy's and McDonalds has great salad options these days. Makes my life easier while eating out :)

Mar 27, 2017 at 16:13 comment added Nobody @gerrit There are also antibiotics, for example. That's a problem which is already current. They stop working. Why? Because they are wasted on animals.
Mar 27, 2017 at 15:46 comment added gerrit @Nobody They can if later means in 200 years, such as may be the case with the more severe consequences of anthropogenic sea level rise.
Mar 27, 2017 at 15:44 comment added Nobody @gerrit Not at all. If you fuck up the environment, sooner or later you'll pay. Environmental reasons can be constructed from a purely egoistic viewpoint.

Feb 4, 2017 at 13:44 comment added Tom Kelly ケリー・トム Perhaps if you want each main reason here explained in more detail they'd be better addressed in separate questions?
Feb 4, 2017 at 13:43 comment added Tom Kelly ケリー・トム I don't think it's really possible to answer this "comprehensively" (re. the Bounty). It doesn't really do justice to the wide variation in reasons behind individual people choices to become vegetarian or vegan. Are the range of existing answers not sufficient? I doubt anyone can objectively give each reason (that's not their own) justice in explaining it.

Jan 31, 2017 at 21:16 comment added David S @gerrit Yes I suppose so, but I was only using that as an example, since I would bet 90% of people who are vegan are so because they believe it's the right thing to do (or why do it), so a lot of the reasons will come back round to "because it's right" if you follow it far enough.

Jan 31, 2017 at 21:07 comment added Matthew Read Generally speaking, "give me an unbounded list of things" questions are discouraged on Stack Exchange. Questions should be specific and be fully answerable by one self-contained answer (which, to note, is different from having only one possible answer).

Jan 31, 2017 at 20:49 comment added I.G. Pascual @gerrit I would say Environmental is more of a health issue/reason...

Jan 31, 2017 at 20:48 comment added I.G. Pascual @EasterlyIrk I'm trying to find a word that fits... I don't want to ask for every individual reason. I wan't to find out the good reasons, the ones that matter to almost everyone
Jan 31, 2017 at 20:48 comment added gerrit @DavidS Environmental is still an ethical reason, isn't it?

Jan 31, 2017 at 20:34 comment added I.G. Pascual @EasterlyIrk Like is there any way that it helps preserving the planet or any other demonstrated reason..

Jan 31, 2017 at 20:33 comment added David S I've heard a number of times recently people citing simply environmental impact as a reason to be vegan, it's certainly not my primary reason but it is a very good one and I've found it seems to get less stick from meat-eaters presumably because it seems more pragmatic and less touchy-feely.
