Exclamation I Went Vegetarian x - Two Years

I decided on Monday that I'd try it for the rest of January and see how it goes, if it goes well I am going to make it a more long-term thing. I love animals and I don't want to eat them, I have two cats and if anything happened to them it would break my heart, so I just felt really guilty when I was eating other animals. Wish me well.

It's surprisingly easy and the food is yummy. I'm an ex vegetarian but still often have meat free days just because you can eat gorgeous food without including meat into your diet. Good luck Jess you're going to love it and feel so much better about yourself too! I'm only eating meat atm to make things easier for my parents so they don't have to cook loads of different meals but once I'm living on my own come September I'll be going back veggie!

Thank you, I made a satay stirfry for dinner today with TVP and it was yummy, I was very happy with it. I already feel so happy to not be eating animals any more. I still need to shed a few kilos and I'm sure eating more wholefoods and being just more aware of my diet in general will be good for that too.

Just think of them succulent sausages, those greasy hambugers, those juicy lamb chops, a bacon banjo in the morning and that fine smelling joint of roast beef on a Sunday.

Mmmmmmm.......meat


You must be literally mad to give that up just because the leftie media guilt trips you.

Summer BBQ's will never be the same again.

I just find it hard to look at these innocent faces every day while other animals just like them are being treated like crap.

You giving up meat won't stop others eating animals and hurting them, does your cat care when it kills a bird in the garden!.

SCREECHING

I always imagine other animals on the food chain deciding this about the animals they eat.

It's bloody natural, don't be so soft.

No, I've been losing weight for a while and I had a whole bar of lindt chocolate last night so if I stopped eating meat purely to lose weight that would be a bit of an oxymoron.

Humans aren't omnivores, really, we are able to grind our jaws and we have flat back teeth, the canines are not an excuse because they are feeble compared to the ones you'd see on real carnivores. Our canines are for apples and nuts and stuff like that.

In the end I just love animals and I don't want to eat them. Also I think the meat industry is one of the worst for the environment and more people need to open their eyes to that.

Neither of my cats have ever killed a bird, they are both rescues and we live in an area that's dangerous for cars. Cats have natural instincts to kill and eat birds and other small animals. We don't. When we see a little lamb skipping around we want to have a look and give it a cuddle, nobody starts salivating from the sight of it, but real carnivores wouldn't see a cute little animal at all, they would see an easy meal because it's weaker and smaller than the adults.

And don't forget all that cholesterol furring up your arteries and the added bonus of it could cause a higher rate of cancer in meat eaters.

Bloody hell sheriff I thought better of you when a cat kills a bird it's instinct,its not nice but they don't know any different,they don't know they are causing pain,as for humans killing for meat, some of those so called 'humans' enjoy inflicting pain on animals ,there is a world of difference.

This is a really poor argument against vegetarianism, I can't speak for anyone but for me personally it's about eating them (I find it disgusting), whether they still get killed/hurt is besides the point really

Nobody ever said otherwise, doesn't mean that we all want to contribute to it ourselves.

Cats also lick themselves clean and **** in litter trays, what's your point?

I don't know why the idea of vegetarianism bothers some people so much. Nobody's forcing it on everyone, the sky isn't falling.

Because people enjoy believing that they know more than you about a subject you feel strongly about. It's a life choice, like religious conversion or choosing not to have children and it's not really up to anybody else to question it.

I sometimes wish I could go vegetarian. But I am so ****ing picky and the only veg I like are carrots and potatoes so I would basically be living on various kinds of potatoes. I don't like pasta..or quorn, or anything that veggies live on tbh
