I have recently adopted a pesco-vegetarian lifestyle; that is, I avoid red meat and poultry, but eat fish and other animal products such as eggs and milk products.

My reasoning is simply for health reasons. As a now-22-year-old, I had borderline cholesterol levels at age 20. Although my HDL was high, my overall number was higher than I would have liked. This condition runs in my family, so I wasn't floored, but I am not overweight and am athletic.
