I'm not a Vegetarian or a Vegan but I was just curious to see who was. And to those who are....MOO! I like cows....cows are my friiiiends lol.

No way--I eat animals just to make PETA mad.

I tried it for one week!
You know how hard it is to not eat meat when theirs BBQ joints on every street corner in LA?

ha ha im a vegetarian and have been one for about 4 months and this was with friends and family waving meat in my face (literally). true its hard but on the up side my sense of smell has uped expecially for meat so now its making me sneeze when i'm around it and i work in a grill so temtaion is all around me but i get through it. i shall not eat another animal after working with them for 2 months so basiclly its for the animals.

one Q whats a vegan

one Q whats a vegan

Vegans are just more strict when it comes to eating... Like no dairy products, meat, sea food (some vegitarians eat sea food), etc. They don't eat or drink anything that comes from any animal.

But no, I love my steaks and mashed potatoes. Without the steak, it just doesn't seem right.

Also, I believe I've heard that some extreme vegans don't even wear clothes that are created from materials that mainly consist of animal products such as wool and leather, etc. I'm not sure on that but it's what I've heard.

All you Vegans will hate me for this......I EAT MEAT TO LIVE.

I was vegan around 13-14 years old and then I was vegetarian til about a year ago. I have a loving relationship with pepperoni pizza and fish though, so yeah...I had to stop calling myself veggie. for all practical purposes though, i almost never eat beef, chicken, turkey, etc. fish and pepperoni are just my weakness.

Ha ha, I know what you mean. It's like one of my favorite quotes from "Get Fuzzy" where Bucky tells Satchel, "I like cows. I like them between buns."

I'm with Bucky.

i'll probably become a vegitarian after i move out on my own. im not real crazy about meat, but i LOVE seafood with a passion. seafood doesnt count as real meat on my list. i just have to eat what ever is cooked for me now.

I've always wanted to meet a vegan and say "Guess what! MILKING COWS DOESN'T KILL THEM!!"

That said, I'm not a vegatarian or vegan. I think that if God killed an animal to give clothing to Adam and Eve, he definitely doesn't mind me doing the same.

I'm not a vegetarian my dad is though. But I do try to eat as little meat as possible.

Hitler was a vegeterian.

Not a vegetarian - I love my meat. ^^; I'll gladly respect any vegetarian, as long as they don't get in my face about killing cows. God gave us animals to eat, there's nothing wrong with eating them.

I used to go somewhat vegetarian. It's all right, but then I got teased some 'cause I actually enjoyed eating fried tofu in my meals. I still prefer chicken to beef, but yeah once in a while I'll get myself a nice steak. And I still eat tofu now and then. My mom was concerned that during the time I first started drinking soymilk I'd develop intolerance. So I'd even it out with soymilk (chocolate only) one day and cow's milk the next day, and so on. Funny thing is while I was a vegetarian my then pastor said I was going New Age. NO I WASN'T!

I'd be really bored with life if all I had to eat was fruits and vegetables lol. ^^

I agree with Kodai. If a person doesn't want to eat meat, that's fine with me, so long as they don't say, "YOU'RE KILLING THE ANIMALS AND THEY'RE TREATED CRUELLY AND BLAH BLAH BLAH." The second they give me a guilt trip about eating meat, I don't like them.

Hitler was a vegeterian.

Hitler had stomach issues. The man couldn't hold his sausage.

I was a vegetarian. Then I got sick. Now I just don't eat loads of red meat.

I am a meatatarian. I only eat meat. well not quite, but close.

I eat it all, but I prefer chicken to beef.

On a side note, I think I have an intolerance to large amounts of grease. I ate at Long John Silver's the other night, and the large amounts of grease gave me a headache.

That one is funy....I like them between buns.....you are killing me. LOL

Not vegetarian. I went "raw" a year or so ago, for like three months? Something like that. So I didn't eat any meat then, or milk, etc.

But now I eat meat. I just dont' like most of it very much.

BTW, I went raw for health issues, not because I wanted to be a vegan. Make of that what you will.

P.S. When I was a very young child, I did kinda want to be a vegetetarian, because I didn't like meat very much, and I wanted to keep every animal as a pet.

Meat eater here. But if someone wants to be a vegan thats fine with me. Just more meat for me. ^^

XD I went vegetarian for about a week in an attempt to lose weight, but after doing it, I realized I'd rather just exercise. It was interesting, though, trying to find all kinds of stuff to eat without meat that was healthy. The best thing I found was this meatless taco at this one place that was just loaded with veggies. It was actually good. But right now, I'm currently on meat and loving it. e.e

Yes...and that's how it ALL WENT WRONG

Anyway, I eat everything. Seafood, beef, pork, chicken, tofu, vegetables and fruit are all good in my book .

I think that would make you a "carnivore." ^_^

I'm an omnivore, personally, although there are a few things I don't like to eat. Coconuts, mushrooms, and shellfish top that list.

Vegetarians are fine, but I find Vegans to be vaguely annoying. Mostly because 1) I find the notion of animal liberation to be somewhat silly and 2) I really like steak.

Seriously, though, I used to know a vegan and we got along famously. I will even eat vegetarian while dining with such a friend because vegans find eating animals to be offensive (whereas vegetarians usually do not).

What really annoys me isn't vegans, but activists who feel it is OK to be annoying and abusive to others. That goes for all activists, not just vegans.

As long as my food is killed...erm mercifully I'll eat it, but there are some brands that DO torture their animals, and we don't eat those. We also don't eat veil because of the way the calves are killed. They're strung up off the ground, never to move..while their blood is slowly drained from their bodies...small amounts at a time. This suposedly does something to the meat to make it taste better. It's cruel really.

I think that we maybe need to step back a little bit with the anti-vegetarian-vegan bashing. For example.. sure God gave us cows to eat, but does that mean that he wants us to eat red meat every meal? Definatly not.. but look at the health difference between people to eat tons of red meat and people who eat tons of vegetables? See my point? I think moderation of everything is the key, but I am pretty sure that the vegetarians are closer to the right ammounts of moderation than the rest of burger-happy America. Everybody knows how great American diets are....

In my opinion this thread has been quite civil and respectful of both vegetarians/vegans and omnivores.

Having said that, I wouldn't consider meat to be a vice for most people. Simply eating it at every meal (or just once a day) is not really excessive. It may be more than people ate in the past, but that is only a result of the fact that people in developed nations are now able to afford to have meat every day. Several factors contribute to poor health in Americans, including lack of exericise, stress, and methods of food preparation (i.e. lots of junk food and fried dishes).
