Why Vegans are Vegans.

Here is the list I have compiled as reasons for someone to become a vegetarian:

- Healthier eating
- Animal welfare
- Destruction of the environment
- Getting skinny
- Food shortage prevention
- Disease prevention

There are many reasons people decide to become a vegetarian or vegan. Whatever the reason, I think that if someone believes in something strong enough to change their lifestyle to support it than they deserve some serious respect. Especially when the goal of their sacrifices are benificial to our environment.
