For me it was multiple reasons but the two most prominent were the horrible conditions used when raising animals for slaughter and the health benefits of having more greens (and other alternatives) in my diet. The second was important to me because before the switch there were hardly any fruits and vegetables in my diet but after I started feeling better (both physically and mentally). Overall becoming a vegetarian also made me want to avoid fast/unhealthy food in total (although I do cheat every once in a while)
I have only recently become vegetarian and one of my main reasons was the treatment of animals as well. Factory farms are just barbaric don't know why people think its ok :( I am a fussy eater though so eating more vegetables and fruits is going to be a little bit of a challenge. How long have you been vegetarian if you dont mind me asking?
Not very long, only a couple of months. I started after Thanksgiving last year but I wasn't very strict with my diet in the beginning. Instead of just removing meat at one moment I sort of edged out of it by limiting how much I ate. This helped a lot when I had sudden cravings (I had failed a couple of times in the past when becoming vegetarian and knew that the first weeks were the hardest). I don't remember exactly the moment but I am certain I haven't had meat since New Years
