There are many choices we make in life based on our religious beliefs, cultural upbringing, level of education and social influence which shapes our understanding. Based on these we make a decision and want others to abide by it or want acknowledgement for our decisions. I have seen both sides of the argument on being a vegetarian and not being one as I have been on both sides of the fence. My decision not to be a vegetarian is for health reasons. I am healthier and stronger than when I was a vegetarian. Vegetarian diet does not give me enough nutrients and I felt hungrier sooner and tend to eat more versus when I eat meat I am full with less content and do not have to divulge myself on food as much. When I was a vegetarian I could exercise less and jog less but now I have doubled my workout. I have nothing to say for or against being a vegetarian or not being one. It is only one of the choices we make out of many in our lives and I respect either choice people make for their chosen life style. To sum it up Long live the vegetarians Long live non-vegetarians.
