I was vegetarian for a long time and in the last four years I started eating chicken and fish. I feel like it really built up my strength a lot.

I am not systematic at all when it comes to religion. I just love life. And I'm not judgmental. And I'm a vegetarian.

Vegetarianism is a link to perfection and peace.

Give your dog or cat respect patience understanding and love. And if you just change to one vegetarian day a week that's a wonderful step that will save animal lives. It means you have chosen something kind instead of something cruel.

I am not a vegetarian because I love animals I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.

I'm a vegetarian and very much active in regards to how I feel about animal rights and protecting animals and giving animals a voice. But at the same time I appreciate and respect other people's decisions to eat meat. The only thing that I hope is that people are educated that they're aware that they're living a conscious lifestyle.

The kind of funny irony is that a lot of people talk about ethical meat eating as if it's a way to care about things but also not to alienate yourself from the rest of the world. But it's so much more alienating than vegetarianism.

I was a vegetarian until I started leaning toward the sunlight.

A vegetarian is a person who won't eat anything that can have children.

Olympia was a town crawling with music. I was new to the whole punk scene. The culture shock continued Olympia had bagels! We didn't have bagels in Arkansas. You could order vegetarian food all over town! It was so crazy to me - a place with so many vegetarians the restaurants made special dishes for them?

I know lots and lots and lots of vegetarians who think it's perfectly all right to kill animals for food to eat but don't do it because they think all the ways in which it's done are wrong.

Most vegetarians look so much like the food they eat that they can be classified as cannibals.

I did not become a vegetarian for my health I did it for the health of the chickens.

I almost fainted. There was no family history. I had been eating a vegetarian diet and I exercised.

I've been more or less vegetarian for about 40 years. Health diet really helps. I do meditation every day and either yoga or sport several times a week.

I'm not strictly vegetarian but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet.

My parents have been incredibly supportive from perhaps the first real independent decision I made to become a vegetarian at 11 which was certainly not consistent with their diet at the time.

I've never followed a vegan or vegetarian diet in the past but I think I could do it. It would not be easy. I have worked with nutritionists who have said a vegan diet is not necessarily all positive for your health because you need nutrients you only find in meats. I believe in a balanced diet.

Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world's resources. A vegetarian diet is better.

Going meat-free can make a huge difference. Studies show that vegetarians are on average 10 to 20 pounds lighter than meat-eaters and that a vegetarian diet reduces our risk of heart disease by 40 percent and adds seven or more years to our lifespan.

I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health a vegan diet was the best decision.

I was a vegan for two years and I really enjoyed it. Then I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else so now I'm a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise drink lots of water and take really good care of yourself.

I don't do the gym and I don't diet. I'm vegetarian but I don't diet.

The woman I am currently crazy about was a vegetarian for a year until I started dating her. As is the case with most vegetarians she had never eaten properly prepared meat only commercially packaged or otherwise abused flesh.

My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school this giant black kid with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.

Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians - except for the occasional mountain lion steak.

I first became a vegetarian when I was nine in response to an argument made by a radical babysitter. My great change - which lasted a couple of weeks - was based on the very simple instinct that it's wrong to kill animals for food.

When it comes to meat change is almost always cast as an absolute. You are a vegetarian or you are not.
