Meat is murder?
 
I was just wondering how many vegetarians we have on the forum? As someone who has only recently become a non meat eater, I would be interested to hear what led people to make this lifestyle choice? For me it was my son that gave me the initiative, he had done a project on the subject in school which involved a lot of research. I discovered things that I found distasteful and my son got a little upset about it and announced he wanted to go vegetarian. Being an animal lover myself I decided we would both go for it. I missed meat at first, but its a lot easier now. Don't get me wrong, I still get tempted but have so far managed to resist, and it helps that I love veggies and salad. Anyone want to share their experiences?

I use to be a Veggie, but my family didn't support it and kept serving me meat and when I refused to eat it I was punished and stuff.

Also in school there wasn't a very wide variety at the time, this was about 4 years ago.

I don't eat meat, but I'm not a vegetarian

I can honestly say I've never once thought about giving up meat, I just can't see myself ever doing such a thing and I've never really been affected by the animal sob stories tbh

I'm a proud vegetarian and have been for nearly 5 years now. I don't miss meat at all and to be honest don't really understand the need for it when there are so many nice substitutes for it. And I'm perfectly healthy without it.

So you got no support then? I imagine you would have kept it up otherwise. Seems unfair really. I can sympathise as a friend of mine has a daughter who also wanted to go veggie and she flat out refused to let her, as it would be too much trouble cooking different meals.

Mollie, I didn't know you were a vegetarian too! I think I have heard Kerry the mod say she is one too but not sure and apart from that I am not aware of anyone else on the forum.

I'm a vegan and my family is completely against it, but they have no control over what I do. I hatepeople who aren't vegans or vegetarians or aren't considering becoming one tbh.

You'll be hating a heck of a lot of people then.

Take it neither you, your family and those people that you befriend possess, used or purchased any of the following:

any item made from leather (belts, shoes, handbags, chamois)
anything plastic, including shopping bags
fireworks
white sugar
and many other everyday products that contain animal products/byproducts known as slip agents.

Couldn't imagine being a vegetarian, to be honest. Don't care what the doctors say. I love red meat. :love:

Vicky. 01-10-2011 07:23 PM

I love meat too much to be a vegetarian. Especially red meat.

So for purely selfish reasons...I would never go veggie.

Nothing Wrong with Meat.

Yeah, you're right. Any other meat, though, tastes nice.

I do hate a lot of people, yes. And seeing as I'm not an idiot I research everything before I buy it, and live a 100 percent vegan lifestyle.
