this is a serious answer...

I was a Vegetarian for years in high-school, mostly for health issues, i still wore leather, and clothes that use animal dyes, and were tested on animals, which i believe most of the clothing that most Veg's wear is also...

but then one day i realized the simple notion that: Life Feeds On Life...

at every level, all life forms feed on life, whether it be concious or not, mobile or not... hook an electrode up to plant and start ripping leaves of it, you can watch the needle on the meter jump each time, some scientists think that shows a sort of pain in plant life...

If you wanna be Vegan go to it, but be careful, i saw alot of people waste away and end up sick do to lack of proper nutrition, make sure your doctor, or better yet a Vegan Homeopath does a schedule for you to start on, until you become more familiar with cooking Vegan cuisine...

also, i assume you wear no leather, and no silver, etc... I hate it when people choose vegetarianism as an environmental issue, but flagrently break the rules in other areas (I call them Trenditarians)...

be careful, and don't be preachy, otherwise good luck!...
