There are a number of reasons why people become [[veganism|vegans]]. It could be an ethical choice (caring for animal rights), or for health reasons, or because of ones religious beliefs, or simply out of environmental or socio-economical concerns. But the reasons are not limited to those said above: some folks become vegans more out of curiosity, protest against society and the system, or just because it feels good.<br />
<br />
=== Animal rights ===<br />
Most animals for human consumption live short lives and in bad circumstances.<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Health ===<br />
[[Meat]] and [[dairy]] are not great for your health.<br />
<br />
=== Environment ===<br />
Animals fart a lot. Seriously, animal husbandry is a major source of green house gases. Of course there's also the fact that a meat diet takes much more resources than a plant based diet. Intensive farming often pollutes waterways as well.<br />
<br />
===Religious beliefs===<br />
Many religions put restriction on what people are allowed to eat.<br />
<br />
===Socio-economical concerns===<br />
Meat is expensive.<br />
