Feb 24, 2017 at 20:32 | comment | added | Jeutnarg | A close relative of mine was restricted to an almost-vegetarian diet (could eat seafood and chicken on occasion) due to a complication from surgery - eating red meat in any quantity or too much white meat caused life-treatening bowel obstructions. This problem lasted over a decade and I believe permanently altered her food preferences. This may be too rare to be worth including, but it is an example of a medical reason to be vegetarian (or very close) | |

Jan 31, 2017 at 20:55 | comment | added | user57 | @I.G.Pascual I've seen quite a few people do it the other way round - they start off following a political movement/ideology and realise the shared goals between those movements and Vegetarianism/Veganism | |

Jan 31, 2017 at 20:52 | comment | added | I.G. Pascual | @lifetimes I would've never imagined that point.. but I guess being vegetarian comes before joining this movement you mention | |
Jan 31, 2017 at 20:50 | comment | added | user57 | @EasterlyIrk Mentioned political aspects, will probably expand too | |
