Why would anyone, in our modern day and age, choose to adopt a vegetarian diet? Perhaps these people simply choose not to support the pain and suffering that is part of a farm animal’s everyday life. Maybe vegetarians object to the waste involved in producing animals products, realizing that a large amount of plant protein (that could have been fed to humans) yields only a small amount of animal protein. Or perhaps vegetarians just care enough about their bodies to fuel them with healthy, pure foods — not having to worry about how much fat, poisons, preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, etc., their dinner contains.
