As far as the different arguments for vegetarianism, one of the best reasons is for improved health. Look around and see the epidemic of obese people having heart attacks by age 50. A vegetarian diet can be excellent for heart health.

I don't really think that meat vs. veg is the critical difference there. Veggies are more likely to eat foods made from whole, fresh ingredients instead of over processed packaged stuff. There's a pretty clear line between meat and McMeat in my view. The amount of hormone and and antibiotics in that nice CO2 packed steak at the grocery store is enough to make anyone queasy.

I flirted with this too when I was a bit younger. I blame my German roots for my failure, there's something about a good sausage that brings a tear to my eye. The thing that I found tough was the difference between lifestyle change and "diet". Just because you ate some bacon yesterday doesn't mean you may as well have a burger today. If it's really a lifestyle change you are after take it one day at a time and let it happen slowly.
