I would find it hard to believe that ethical and/or religious reasons weren't the major factor in someone turning vegetarian/vegan/etc. Just my opinion.

Thanks Meth, it's always interesting to read your posts on this topic - and challenging too.
We've spoken about it before and I'm still toying with the idea - I eat drastically less meat than I did a year ago - I realised a few weeks ago that I had gone 3 days without any meat - and that's not particularly unusual now.
Scott Jurek is a guy who's interested me too since I read 'Born to Run'. He talks about preferring real food in his endurance events rather than the gels and other silly stuff some people use. As you say they are better for you AND they actually have performance benefits.

I went to this chicken and ribs place with my classmates and ordered a garden salad. This is so hard to do when all your friends are meat eaters and they insist on flash meat (no pun intended) in your face at every chance.
It's going well so far, I feel less like crap than when I first started.

Chipotle's Vegetarian Burrito's have so much more flavor than Qdoba's though. But if you want to go with Vegetarian at Qdoba I suggest the Taco Salad with Dressing, Black Beans, Habanero Sauce, Sour Cream, Cheese, and Guacamole. Tuesday 1/2 Price Qdoba for Students= $3.25 Taco Salad and Drink... CRACK!

False.
I've studied nutrition health and sports science for over 12 years and i can state as FACT that you can eat perfectly 100% healthy with or without meat of any kind. It was very hard 100 years ago and hard 50 years ago but the last few decades have made it simple though not in any way cheap.
Vegan on the other hand is harder especially from a sports aspect but still totally possible but again NOT cheap to do properly.
Anyone looking into trying needs to do some work though. It's important to make sure you get enough protien and equally important to make sure you don't get too much.
