what are your God-given reasons for eating vegetarian?

Do you believe God led you to vegetarianism? Why or why not? Scriptural citations, personal testimonies, etc welcome... Just curious what other people's perspectives are, as I'm praying through understanding my own more clearly. Thanks!

What do you say to Christians who say it’s OK to eat animals because humans are the only ones made in the image of God?

My husband uses this argument and it really irks me, but I don’t really know what to say to it. Of course animals not being made in the image of God doesn’t make it OK for us to eat them, but he seems to think it does and nothing’s going to convince him otherwise. He seems to think it’s sacrilegious to want to treat animals with the same respect we give other humans.

I'm a Christian and I'm thinking of converting to veganism, but I'm a fussy eater and I have a few questions about it: Help?

Ok, so I'm a Christian and I'm not currently a vegan or vegetarian, however, I am considering becoming a vegan because as of late I keep on having this bad reaction to eating meat. It's not a physical reaction because I'm not allergic to meat, but it's more of a reaction of "I can't believe I just ate that" type of thing.

The thing is, I'm quite a fussy eater. I don't like most of the vegetables that I have tried, and I'm rather scared that if I commit to veganism that I won't be able to keep it up became of my lack of love for vegetables and fruit. So, what do I do? How can I, as a VERY fussy eater, dip my toe into the the vegan pool without backtracking?

Also, I have a couple of questions about certain vegan products:

Are there vegan equivalents to the food that contains meat? For example, is there a vegan equivalent to chicken, beef, pork, chocolate, ice cream, milk, butter, etc? If so, how do these products taste? Can one tell the difference between the food that contains meat and the food that doesn't contain any meat whatsoever?

For those who are vegetarian even partially for the environmental benefits, you should check out /r/ZeroWaste where we discuss more ways of being environmentally conscious!

Disclaimer: I am a moderator of /r/ZeroWaste.

I feel that there is a close connection between the material of our subreddits and believe that /r/ZeroWaste is a great community for exploring deeper into ways of reducing your waste and your footprint on the world.

The sidebar description:

The term Zero Waste means that we strive to send zero discards to landfills or high-temperature incineration facilities. Instead, we promote the best practices of waste prevention, recycling, and composting.

This community is for those who are interested in or currently living a zero or low-waste lifestyle. We are responsible consumers who buy in bulk, avoid disposables, carry reusable water bottles, and bring our own lunches.

It is still a smaller subreddit (but has grown significantly in the last year!) and has plenty of insightful discussions and ideas.

You should take a look!

You can also look at our previous discussions to see more about the connections between zero waste and veganism/vegetarianism:

A documentary with a radical look at health…

For those who haven't seen it, I thought you may be interested in this documentary. Not specifically Christian but the film does briefly mention Jesus and fasting.

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead gives a radical, uplifting and amusing take on health. One can always rely on an Aussie for a lighthearted outlook on life and some straight talking! For US viewers see here and UK viewers see here.

Flesh Eating in the Last Days

"Among those who are waiting for the coming of the Lord, meat eating will eventually be done away; flesh will cease to form a part of their diet. We should ever keep this end in view, and endeavor to work steadily toward it. I cannot think that in the practice of flesh eating we are in harmony with the light which God has been pleased to give us." -Ellen G. White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, pp. 380-381 (1890).
