Besides the obvious moral reason to become a vegetarian, why should we become vegetarians? What are the benefits, and what are the negatives?

Vegans, however, are weird. I recently met one who objected to beekeeping on account that 'we should never intrude on other species'. Bees account for at least one third of all pollination in the UK. We simply cannot live without them. We'd starve to death. Inter-special intrusion? Ha.

That is the most stupid and pig ignorant point of view any veggie can ever come up with. If everyone took up their views and stopped eating meat on moral grounds there would be a wide spread mass extinction of all animals used in the meat industries. Think about it why would farmers keep cattle, swine or poultry or any other animal used as a food source if there's no money in it for them.
