Advocates of vegetarianism strongly believe that we, as human beings, are not driven by instinctual means to pursue or consume living or already dead meat in a natural setting.

Food Safety Concerns:

Many vegetarians choose their lifestyle to avoid meat eating scares, such as lingering and easily transferable diseases or conditions brought on through various microorganisms typically located within animal products and the like.

Such conditions or diseases can include any of the following: cattle-based BSE -known as Mad Cow Disease-, poultry-derived avian flu, sheep spread 'foot-and-mouth,' and usual salmonella on eggs.

Clearly, vegetarianism is a lifestyle choice based off viable reasoning. Whether one opts to adopt such a lifestyle is solely up to the particular individual whom is interested. But now, at least knowledge of a few facts and an awareness of the vegetarian perspective -both necessary in familiarizing and positioning one's self to see where one sits in dietary terms- have been established.
