I've heard that some people eat no meat just vegetables and fruit and they say they are healthy. Now to me, I don't think that just eating vegetables/fruits is healthy. I'm a great believer in moderation..eating vegetables and meat in moderation. After all, there are some good proteins and vitamins in meat.
If you're a vegetarian, how did you decide? Was it your own choice? Did you grow up in a vegetarian family? It seems that in Italy, if you're a parent and only feed your children vegetables you could get jail time!!

No, I am not a vegetarian. More of a foodie. I like everything except squash. I don't eat organs either.

@celticeagle kidneys and liver are so tasty if cooked right.
I've never eaten heart to my knowledge.

for me moderation is the key like you say.I have vegan friends.It is very hard at times what do give them when we have them over.
Finally we got used to it.The only thing that I do not like when they say those meat eater ugh.That is a turn off .
You eat what you want and I will eat what I want.We have a good source in our meat.The same with Diary etc.
they are what they eat.LOL.Leave my meat alone.

I think that no one thing in the world can make me stop eat meat or fish.. Sorry, but I don't see nothing wrong in eating animals that was created to that. Our organism need a bit of all.

No. Meatless Mondays are about as much as I can do of that. I love my burgers and chicken nuggets way to much.
