Hi!All I am not a vegetarian. I eat all kinds of meat such as pork, beef, fish, duck, chicken and so on. Vegetarians don't eat meat because they think we shouldn't kill animals for food. Vegans won't eat any animals products at all, not even yogurt or eggs. I wonder why they can stand not eating meat all their life.

As someone who has eaten meat all their life, I would have asked that same question not too long ago. Then our church went on a 21 day Daniel fast back in Jan and I struggled some with that, but I mostly missed the milk and eggs rather than the meat. (Daniel fast is where you eat only fruits and vegetables and whole grains) Then on my own I did a meatless fast for 40 days. but it was not vegan, which means I still ate eggs and butter and drank milk, just did not eat meat and I didn't miss it at all.. So it really isn't too hard, especially if that is what you are accustomed to. In fact, I had a hard time eating meat again at first.

Hi! I'm not a vegetarian. If the vegetables are cook with meat, they will be more delicious and more nutrient. I know eggs and milk are not only good for health, but also more delicious cooked with vegetables. If I don't eat meat for a long time, I will feel meat more delicious when I eat it again.

i am not a vegetarian, and i dont think it's a good idea to be a vegetarian. we know that we need something from the meat, no matter what kind of meat, to make our body strong, to be more detail, we need some amino acid which human can not produce. so, if we never eat meat, it is not helpful to our health. of course, i am not encourage to eat more meat. too much may increase the risk of having cancer.

Hi! Neither am I. I agree with you. Vegetables cooked with meat are more delicious. milk and eggs are necessary food for daily life. I usually let my kid eat two boiled eggs every morning. He also like eating eggs and drinking milk. Too bad, the price of meat is rising now.

Hi. I am a vegetarian, and the reason I cant stand eating meat anymore is mostly because of my realization that life is precious. If I value my life, shouldnt I be able to value other peoples lives? Animals lives? Also, because of my diet I dont have to worry about several illnesses and diseases that could affect me now or later in my life. Even if I wanted to try to go back to eating meat (which I cant) it wouldnt be possible, seeing as how the last time I ate something with meat in it (accidentally) my body actually rejected it.
