I am, mainly because I just feel better without meat. And I rarely get sick because of the way I eat - my immune system is so strengthened that if I get ill, I can be sure it'll pass faster than normal. I have mono right now, unfortunately, I've had it for about a week now, but it seems it might be over in about two or three weeks. I "blame" my diet. On the bad side, you always risk getting an anemia. But, no real moral issues made me a veggie. I must admit, though, that after becoming vegetarian, I became more aware of the issues surrounding eating meat/ meat production etc. I'm glad I quit eating that stuff, although I of course respect you carnivores out there who choose to stuff yourselves with dead animals. Each to their own.
