hi i'm a vegitarian and i do it because i love animals, its better for the earth & your body. but i was just wondering why do people become vegan? i know alot of people who are vegan, and they are really sick now. (not saying that happens to everyone who is vegan, just some people i know.) so i was just curious, why be vegan?

Well, the vast majority of true (and I mean true, true vegans/vegetarians) are so because of medical reasons; their bodies can't process animal products, or they have a medical issue that disallows them to eat meat.

But as others have said, its because they feel bad for the animals, they want to rebel against what's normal, they support PETA (*rolls eyes*), they simply don't like the taste of animal products, and they think its healthier (although as far as I know, nothing has been proven that eating animal products is less healthy than not eating animal products).

But, if you are a vegetarian, I do suggest seeing your doctor or a nutritionist so you can lay out a diet plan so you can get all the proper nutrients your body needs (so you don't become sick, because that can happen to vegetarians as well as vegans).
