May I ask for your opinion about being vegetarian? Would you go vegetarian, or maybe try it out? Or try having a meatless day? And what do you think of being vegan?

If I could avoid meat, I'd be fishetarian. Sushi with no fish is too sad. I have several meatless days, I only eat meat if my parents cook it or if I go to a fast food. Bacon isn't very popular here, and meat tends to be boring (steaks or ragu sauce mostly). Then ravioli, okay, ravioli can be pretty good. If people manage to go vegetarian, good for them. Vegans are a bit extreme perhaps. Unfortunately vegetable milk is expensive, so are most vegan products. You would have to take supplements, B12 or iron if you don't eat enough veggies containing such element. I also love eggs, so nope, I'm happy with eating chicken's menstruations. Really. I respect everyone's choices as long as they respect mine. From religion to politics, food habits and beyond.

I don't eat meat but I'd never preach this. Missionaries of any kind get on my nerves.

Welcome to MyLot. I hope you like it here. I'm mostly vegan. It seems to be a better and healthier way of eating, especially the way animals are bred these days. I recently came across where people were given some milk to try and most gave positive comments until they were told that it was dog milk. Neither the cow nor the dog is making the milk for humans, They make milk to feed their babies. Like I said, veganism seems to make the most sense but I'm for freedom of choice.

I have no interest in putting restrictions on my foods.

I am a meat eater, but have gone without meat some days. I think being what you want and eating what you want is fine. There is no way I could totally give up meat or dairy for that matter.

It's good, but tough for me. I can't leave my taste for meat :)

I think that is a bad idea because our body need to stay on the basis of a balanced diet, unless they are plant supplements (I do not know how to call it) able to replace animal protein, I see it as a bad idea.

I've tried going vegetarian, but I've never had the willpower to stick to it for longer than a year. However I have a friend who's been vegetarian for over 30 years.

I think we should eat more fruits and veggies, and go less on meat. That is what i aim to do this year.

People always think it is healthier to be a vegetarian. But I don't really agree to it. I think the balanced diet is the best. Besides, although I like vegetables much more, but I still like meats. I can't live without it.

I go with what I was born as, I'm an omnivore. I go often with no meat in a day but I do eat chicken, eggs, fish and sometimes beef. I also buy only organic so I know the animals that were killed to make that chicken dish I like were not mistreated in any way. Rabbits, deer, elk and moose were born vegan I'm not one of those.

I tried it once for months. It made me weak and it's an expensive lifestyle.

I became a vegetarian because I felt it would be hypocritical to say that I loved animals if I was willing to eat them. I don't judge anyone else for it though, it's a personal choice.
