@Aurora I can tell you that I am vegetarian because it suites me better and I feel better. I didn't decide one day just to become vegetarian but I was rather drawn into it, because if I didn't I would probably be a diabetic. For instance I remember once in high school after gym class I had a sugar attack, I went blind for few hours, could not form sentences and slipped into a short coma because nobody warned me how dangerous our everyday food can be.
You can google Penn Jillette who last year also became vegetarian (although he sometimes eats junk food) because he has quite interesting things to say like how changing his diet doesn't make him crave for bacon because your taste re-trains. For instance I could never eat pizza again because it would just taste like fat and salt. I remember when I used to eat it I would feel so thirsty for hours and not to mention tired.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
