I used to be a vegetarian, contemplating it again.

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. |

I couldn't agree more. You really can tell the difference. Sadly some people would rather save a few quid. I know there are those who can't afford to be choosey, but they are a lot who could.

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
![]() I'm very careful about the meat I buy, making sure it's the best I can get ![]() |

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.

![]() 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 ![]() |

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.
