Vegetarian…

So people always ask me - why are you a vegetarian? I have several reasons, so here they are, at no particular order:

  • It’s healthy - there are some evidence that vegetarians live longer. It’s complicated to prove, because usually a vegetarian will lead a better lifestyle (eat better, doesn’t smoke…). But still.
  • I don’t like killing animals, especially when it’s so easy to not do so
  • Environment issues - it’s now argued that eating meat is a major cause of global warming. The amount of energy that has to be ‘invested’ in meat is a lot more than an equivalent vegetable based dish. Also people are cutting trees to make room for growing food for animals, and there are other reasons too.
  • It annoys people
  • It makes for an interesting life (especially combined with other funny food habits)
  • When I’ll look back when I’m old, I think I’ll be happier a bit.

I think that’s it :-)
