The rise and rise of Vegetarians
A RECORD one in eight British adults have turned vegetarian after ditching meat and fish, according to new research released yesterday.

Could never ditch meat
|
I was a vegetarian for a couple of years back when i was a teenager. I really like meat though :/
|
I'm pleased it's becoming more common, go vegetarians! :dance:
|
I used to be a vegetarian, contemplating it again.
|
Neh, it's not healthy. Humans are omnivorous, just eat the damned steak :D
|
Vegetarians... they're the ones who can't get the lid off the pickle jar.
I eat meat, but I make a conscious effort to buy meat that's been ethically reared. |

It just seems wrong to ditch both completely. |

I've thought about it before and it would be nice and all that but would need to make sure I was 100% committed.
|
I went vegetarian and ended up severely anemic, turns out my body breaks down iron better from meat than from green leafy veg:shocked:
I'm very careful about the meat I buy, making sure it's the best I can get:grin2: |
I wanted to go vegan a few weeks ago, but my parents told me "it's not healthy blablabla". I might start nagging them again.
|
I don't think there are any vegetarians. I'm sure they all cheat when no one is looking.
|
i think a lot of it is a 'hipster' sort of thing... people want to be different and i think some people choose to be 'vegan' or 'vegetarian' etc to be edgy
of course, i definitely can understand why some people are vegetarian and that some people genuinely are... i think it's mainly teenagers who do it to be different. but meh, who knows. |
i hate it when people force it on their kids.
my best friends dad and his gf were vegetarian, yet they would still cook beef and chicken etc for her. I thought it was really good of them. |
my friend is only veggie so she can loose weight
|
If it wasn't for Doner meat and chips I would go veggie no problem.

I stopped eating fish ages ago not because I find it mean to the animals, just because fish is vile

She asked what i was doing, i told her i'd gone veggie, she then explained that because of my digestive issues a veggie diet wasn't for me, within 2 weeks of eating good quality red meat (not every day, probably 3 times a week) my iron levels were up to 7 and i was feeling a lot better, within a month they were 12, i'd also cut out wheat and cereals as i'd found i was gluten intolerant, and certain B vits (which are in bread/cereals etc.) are essential for iron, so i think it was a dietary issue for me. Safe to say i now take a good quality multi vitamin, and eat meat regularly:laugh: |
There is nothing hipster about an ethical lifestyle choice, and I don't believe anyone 'should' do anything... As long as your diet includes all the nutrients it needs from other sources then where's the beef? true vegetarianism isn't a diet of chips and cheese ;)
I'm working through the contents of my freezer as we speak eradicating all the meat based products (too tight to chuck it). I have a condition that will be greatly improved with a meat free diet so will be embarking on that shortly, as it is I don't eat offal or any 'mystery meats' so can't see it being that hard just putting a bit more thought and forward planning into meals. |
