Judaism does not necessitate eating meat!  I am jewish and my vegetarian
habits greatly simplify keeping kosher.

There are many varied reasons for vegetarianism.  Not wanting to
attempt an exhaustive list, I'll try to give a few simple reasons.

	.  Eat lower on the food chain, (as we pollute our planet,
	   the poisons tend to concentrate in the high end of the
	   food chain).

	.  Non killing ethic.

	.  Political.  It takes more than 10 lbs. of grains to create
	   a lb. of beef.  So there is more food for all if we
	   moderate our supposed need for meat.

	.  Nutritional.  I suggest reading 'Laurels Kitchen', an excellant
	   source of nutritional information.
