Why be a vegetarian?

Some people become vegetarians because of moral and ethical issues related to for example the way livestock for meat is reared and then slaughtered or because of the negative effect that it has on the environment. Some people choose to become vegetarians for religious reasons others become vegetarian for health reasons because they want to live a healthier life and eating meat just does not fit into that plan.
