Do some research here so you can be halt but vegetarianism is very healthy is you do it properly. 3.) For moral reason (animals are treated cruelly & according to ecological succession less people eat meat the people can eat and it's a lot better for the environment) also for health meat can be unhealthy especially red meat. Some don''t eat meat for other reasons such as religious they think its gross it make them sick etc4.) Vegan, Lacto, Ovo. or Lacto-Ovo5.) Answered that in number 26.) didn't know what you meant7.)
