Why are you a Vegetarian?

People often ask me why I am a Vegetarian. It encompasses so many things that it's difficult to give a quick answer. I love animals, and detest the idea of eating them. I hate the taste of meat. I like the health benefits of not eating meat. It feels right. I feel so much healthier and have so much more energy.

I wish I had the dedication to become a Vegan. But having grown up in Wisconsin, it's hard to imagine giving up cheese. I do cook Vegan dishes, and enjoy them, but I need my ocassional cheese fix.

To sum it up, I'm proud to be a Vegetarian.
