It's kind of fun that they probably make those pills from milk. So basically they're not 100% vegan if they eat 'em.

I read all of your posts. I can't interpret the english some of you typed but I will go ahead and try to make out what you guys are typing.


Vegetarians eat basically a lot of vegetables but eat meats when they come to it. They get their proteins and nutrition from soybean, milk, 25% meat, and tofu.

I hope I summarize it right. So should I choose to be a vegetarian to become healthy?

In other words being a vegitarian means you have to work 3x as hard to eat, you get stuck with horrible tasting substitutes, and you have to eat much of those substitutes. But damn, not eating meat won't slow down the meat production, those damn animals are gonna get whacked anyways.

hey I am actually a vegetarian (not just by choice but by religion...) and I don't really do anything different from anyone else it is just that I do not eat meat..

You guys make it too complicated lol, example: suppose I go to Chipotle, I just get the Vegetarian burrito (yes it is one of the things on the menu, for some reason no one notices it though lol). You just do not eat meat. Protein comes from many other ways, beans, peanuts, etc. and that comes from eating many foods. I still eat the same amount of food, the food is just not meat.

BTW, you guys eat a lot of non-meat products everyday, right? So vegetarians don't have to eat any substitutes like you guys think. Another example, spaghetti, people eat that for a main course, I eat that as well, I do not get some nasty substitute or anything.

As for vitamins and stuff, the only vitamins I ever took were the Flinstones ones that probably everyone took back in elementary school lol. The thing is, my diet has proteins always combined into it because many of the stuff I eat has beans in it or even peanuts. I definitely know that I do not get as much as I would if I ate meat though.


One final note, those that weight-lift and are vegetarians, take protein powder otherwise your muscles will have a chance to tear and weaken. I take protein powder because I lift.

Question for you veggys... DO vegetarians eat animal crackers?

AbysmalGuilt

Blasphemy!

I knew a vegetarian that ate mostly veggies but also allowed herself chicken, fish, pizza (I think it was kind of veggie style though), etc. Just not red meats, like hamburger or anything like that. Even substituted lasagna for veggie lasagna (what I like to call vegagna)

She was cool though, she'd still make her boyfriend something that she wouldn't eat but he enjoyed. So apparently it had nothing to do with animals or anything, I think she just feels most comfortable eating that way.

Though one thing I notice about the majority of vegetarians/vegans is that they are really thin, like almost on the verge of unhealthy thin. Anyone else notice this?

How about meat flavour crisps that are also in the shape of animals?


is anyone here actually a vegetarian because they dislike the taste of meat or is it all airy-fairy pretentious political reasons and family indoctrination?


btw if that sounded offensive it wasnt supposed to, its just.... the only way i could articulate what i was trying to say without going into a big long rambling explanation highlighting all the different things i was trying to mention like some people having religious or whatever views inherited from their parents so thats the main reason or some people actually having strong political views based on ideas about animal cruelty and oh wait im rambling.

Well just because I have presets of religious ways set upon me doesn't me I have to do it. Just like many of you guys have religious ways set upon you already, example, your parents were Christian so you guys decided to follow Christianity. I actually chose a different way of looking at it than my parents (I believe there is truth in all religions in that their is a God) yet I still value the traditions.

Anyway, I also wonder if anyone chose to be vegeterian because they just flat out hate the taste of meat?

There are 4 degrees of vegetarians. Or atleast how i classify it.

Extremes: they wont even eat some vegetables that might cause the plant to stop working. For example onions, potatoes, carrots
Vegans: Do not consume milk as they feel that that also is not natural
Normal Vegetarians: Do not consume the flesh of animals as they feel animal killing is wrong
Sorta vegetarians: Eat fish and such as they feel that only animals shouldnt be killed. They also eat Eggs and such.
