My basic retort (and it's the Goddess's honest truth) is that I became a veggie because I wanted to impress a vegetarian girl (way back when I was 16). Now, 14 years on, I'm still vegetarian because I realised that it's probably a good thing to get through this life having contributed to as little death and suffering as possible.
*None* of us (even the most dedicated fruitarian) gets through life with zero negative impact on the planet... but we can - at least - try to minimise it.
That's why I'm veggie.
