Why people choose to become vegetarian?

Posted in | at 13.25

An increasing number of young people, especially young girls are choosing not to eat meat, particularly red meat.

Vegetarianism may be a short lived decision for some young people - for others it may be for a lifetime.

Reasons for choosing to become a vegetarian include:

concerns about the killing of animals
some young people choose not to eat meat because it makes them feel 'heavy'
taste - they don't like meat
living in a vegetarian household
religious beliefs
it is trendy
budget reasons - meat can be expensive
a small number may become vegetarian when they have an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa. See the topic Eating disorders.
