I am a vegetarian.  the roots of vegetarianism comes from civilization of ancient india and greece.
that's interesting.  Why did you become a vegetarian?
Most health related reasons though others do it for completely different reasons such as cultural, political or environmental reasons.
what would be some political reasons?
Its just one of many reasons.  Some people are even vegan and choose not to eat anything that comes from an animal at all.  Do you eat meat?
I do eat meat - I love all parts of cows and pigs!  Bacon on everything!  Is your whole family vegetarian?
I used to aswell!! No just me.  Though it is believed that up to 4% of the western world are now actually vegetarian.
I had no idea - that's a lot.  What's the difference between vegan and vegetarian?
