im vegan for the animals.
Definately the animals!!!
I'm a vegan for my health for the most part, but I'm certainly glad I'm helping animals in the process.
Animals first and then health was jus an added bonus
Live longer, fight disease, help the animals.
:rolleyes: I am vegan for the animals, also for my own good, but have backslid twice. Trying again for life.
I'm not vegan, but I am strict vegetarian (a close cousin) and I did it for my health.
That's not the *only* benefit, but it's my main one.
For the animals.
1. Animals
2. Health
3. Environment
It's hard to pick which is most important with regard to health and environment...
ME TOO! :p
my initial reason was world hunger ...but now its compassion for animals and health too.
For the animals, and for the environment.
just to burn down buildings....just kidding...im vegan for the animals and the environent, the health aspect is kinda like an added benefit or perk.
I am a vegan because i am agaisnt the killing and harming of living things.The reason that i am a vegan has nothing to do with the fact that is also might make me healthy.(But its an extra bouns!!)
What made me vegan was mostly the animals, that's was first made me "start thinking", and quit eating meat.. Then I read a lot of things, me and my mom (who's also a vegan now) and it made me understand how sick the animal industry is in all kind of ways... So it was the envionment too, and god, the wild animals, and poor people... Yes everything, but mainly it was animals and environment.
Well, I'm vegan for the health reasons, I have become much healthier since switching. The animal part is nice as well, but not my major motivation...
I orginally did it for religion but dropped such religion and now it is so for the animal. I could never justify eating meat the religion thing just got me started
What religion was it ???
Rastifarian, they believe only god has the right to take a life.Quote:

I do it for the animals, for the fact that the meat industry is so unbelievably wicked, and because I have a history of heart disorders which also run in the family; I wish to outlive my kids.
Oops, didn`t realize this forum permits guests to post :o Anyways, that last one was me.
This was one of the things I read, there are different opinions. Some of them eat insects. Some say they don't eat meat because the impurities put into it. I am not apart of such religion anymore, but I stand behind animal advocasy (which is spelt wrong)Quote:

environment, mostly.
I see. I was just curious. :rolleyes:Quote:

For the animals and the environment and the peoples ^_^ The health benefits are just an added bonus.
for animal rights and a little for the environment. not for health, I would be vegan even if it was unhealthy. in fact, I haven't notice major changes in my health, just a bit.
I also would be vegan even if it was unhealthy, but I wouldn't raise my kids vegan if I wasn't convinced it was healthy.
I'm veg for ethical reasons. Kind of health related too... but I can slack on the health part so it's almost entirelly an ethical decision.
Like almost everyone else, I'm a vegan because of my concern for animals; the personal health benefits and the benefits to the environment are added bonuses.
(I just can't get past the idea of a slaughterhouse.)
Thanks for asking.

1. Animals....
What if I was born a cow?
Because there is no reason to make my self and others suffer.
Plus vegan ladies are sooo hot!
Primarily ethical and environmental. The healthiness is sort of a bonus.
In doing research on veg*ism, I ran across a cartoon depicting a fat man unable to look over his stomach and see teeming millions starving. The fat man depicted an omnivore; the idea was that grazing depletes water and soil, and it doesn't yield anywhere near the food that planting fruits, veggies, and grains would.
This, above all else, hit me in my fat gut. Sure, I care about animal pain and suffering. Sure, I care about my body. But what about humanity's future? What about planet Earth's future? What about the big picture?

I'm vegan because it's so much better for the planet (we have to take care of the earth, there's no replacing it), because it's a diet and lifestyle completely free from cruelty and death, because I read up on various spiritual topics and found it to be for the best, and I'm kinda a perfectionist when it comes to health. I can't really place one reason above another in importance, they all drove me towards veganism and rank equally.

Gee, Phillip, you should have told us that a long time ago - I would have added it to my reasons for being vegan ;)

Spiritual and religious beliefs concerning animals, trying to avoid the corruption within the meat industries and the problems it causes not only with the environment but people in other countries even. My health is a small but significant part as well. I don't like the idea of my brain being liquified and having three heart attacks while I die from food poisoning.:eek:
Exactly how I feel. Veganism equals Health and Balance for our total self- Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Environmental and Physical.Quote:

I'd be vegan even if it were not healthy! Not wanting to be part of the killing business is my motivation, but it is a bonus that we tend to be mindful of what we eat and so avoid all the rubbish.
The main reasons are For the animals and evironment, but then could very easily see the health benefits as well ^_^ so:
1.Animals
2.Environment
3:Health
It helps pretty much the overall planet.
