This week we asked, "Would you go/why have you gone vegetarian/vegan?" And these fit Twitters had these tweet replies:

dmtweets@Thats_Fit Started because I was allergic to meat and milk. Cut everything else because I believe it's right.

ColletteAM@Thats_Fit became vegetarian @ 11yo for animals, vegan @ 20yo when I had my 1st child so we could have a long healthy life together.

jend420@Thats_Fit Wouldn't go Vegetarian. Love vegs. Love animals. But no issues eating said animals. The body needs animal proteins, iron, etc.

thenewswineflu@Thats_Fit I could never, ever give up sushi. And I am aware of the Califauxrnia roll. Still, no way in hell :)

priorfatgirl@HealthPop I think I'm pretty close to being a Flexitarian

Get_Lean_Fast@HealthPop Would be hard...Chicken and fish have so much nutritional value
