List some reasons for why people become vegetarians


People who choose to exclude meat and other animal-derived foods from their diets today do so for many of the same reasons the Greek philosopher Pythagoras cited in the 6th century BC: physical health, ecological responsibility, and philosophical concerns. They might also cite world hunger issues, economic reasons, ethical concerns, or religious beliefs as motivating factors. Whatever their reasons-and even if they don't have a particular reason-people who exclude meat will be better prepared to plan well-balanced meals if they understand the nutrition and health implications of their choices.?
