Among my own reasons there are at least two thoughts  that  I  do
not  know  how  to  place in your categories.  Reason one is very
important and reason 2 decreases in import all the time.  

1) To eat lower on the food chain.   (a  subcategory  of  health,
politics,  agribusiness, etc.).  As we pollute our ecosystem with
herbicides and pesticides, these pollutants accumulate much  more
slowly at low levels of the food chain.  I can also manage to get 
organic  grain,  but  I  know not where to get beef fed solely on
organic feed (not that I really want it).  

2) My wife is a great cook and she is a devout veggie.  I love my 
wife more than I desire meat, and  through  knowing  her  I  have
grown to become a veggie also.
