Any Veggetarians???

[Emmy16]

I dont even think I spelled that right.

Well Ive just recently become one myself (about a month back) and I wanted to know who else here is one and what your resons were.

Mine was because of all the things they do to animals in mass farming (antibiotics and what they feed them) and I just dont like to think thats what Im eating... so yeah.

I'd be a vegetarian, but I like the taste of meat too much and really don't give a damn about mindless animals bred purely to be eaten.

Ever looked in a cow's eyes? Nothing there, it's empty.

Though, being against the chemicals used in raising animals I can understand, but I hope that you follow along the same path in the vegetarian foods you eat in that they're all organic.

You know that there are more field mice killed in one week of wheat farming than in a whole season of beef production?

[Lindy]

Field mice make terrible burgers though.

Let's all just accept the fact that we kill things. Things die and we should feel sorry but that's no excuse to change our diets. If people really wanted to make a difference, then they could take human bodies after they die and make food from them. Seriously.

It's typically about how cows live, not the fact that they die.

Yes, I am a vegetarain and have been since 1993, which is probably longer than some of you have been on this earth. Mainly for the same reasons as you, Emmy.

[Yamaneko]

What about the health benefits? That's the only reason I could see myself doing it for.

[Leeza]

I eat too much junk food to consider that aspect of vegetarianism.

[I Am Stoner]

I have nothing against people being vegetarain, but to them I say, you're missing out some some nice tasty tender bites there. A nice fat steak with chips and gravy, oh man, not even a chocolate cheesecake could top that. Ever.

My mom was a vegan for a couple years in the 70's and she said in that time she never once got sick, whereas before she would get sick at least a couple times a year.

[Twisted Tinkerbell]

I'm vegetarian, I have been since 1999, I never liked meat much anyway, and I like animals way too much to eat one. I don't think I'm missing out on anything.

That is pretty much the only reason I am a vegetarian. The only meat I eat is fish.

[Lindy]

What about the health benefits? That's the only reason I could see myself doing it for.

I dunno, I mean there's the fact that by cutting off meat you lose out on a lot of essential amino acids, or at least far easier consumable sources compared to vegetables.

However, if you're willing to take vitamin and other such supplements, I can see how it'd be far healthier than eating meat; you'll certainly have regular digestion due to all the fibre.

That is pretty much the only reason I am a vegetarian. The only meat I eat is fish.

You're not a vegetarian, you're a piscatarian

[Shlup]

You're not a vegetarian, you're a piscatarian

Hm, learn something new everyday. I'm a piscatarian.
