Why AREN'T You Vegetarian?

[calmB4storm]

I honestly want to know.

Everyone expects me to have plenty of outstanding reasons for why I am a vegetarian, but no one ever feels the need to defend their choice to eat meat.

Is it just because you like the taste of meat? Because otherwise, all reasonable logic seems to say that a vegetarian diet makes perfect sense. A vegetarian diet is generally cheaper, healthier, and more environmentally- and animal-friendly than a meat-filled diet.

So speak up meat-eaters, why?
