[anibioman]

Yep Vegan here!

I've cut back on the amount of meat I consume, and I make it a point to eat a meatless meal at least once a week. I believe a widely varied diet is the best.

I've only been vegetarian for a few months.  I stopped eating meat because while I was homeless and eating at shelters, a lot of the meat was undercooked and made people sick.  Then after not eating it for a while I kinda just didn't like it anymore...

I was veggie for over 30 years, but since being on estrogen I am compelled to eat fish often. It's very weird, and I look forward to it going away again. I'm not comfortable being a fish-eater, but if I don't, after about 3 days I can't think about anything else .

Been a vegetarian for a few years now. At least five I'd say. There was a time I ate meat without realising it. Brushed my teeth real good after that. 

I'd only eat meat if I was living off the grid/living off the land and really needed to.

I'm leaning towards it, for health reasons. I've been trying to cut more and more meat out of my diet....but beef is just so damn good gah!

Well, I guess I'm only pescatarian... I still eat sushi.  It's delicious and you can't undercook it!

[Paul]

and you can't undercook it!

^^^HAHAHA, nice!

I'm a pescatarian as well.  I gave up meat 6 years ago, for moral reasons.  I didn't agree with how animals were treated in Factory Farms.  Plus, I didn't eat a lot of meat before that, I just didn't like it.  I really only ate Chicken.  I LOVE Seafood though, haha. 

eating out always sucks.

^^^agreed.  It's especially hard because I love Seafood, but my sister is allergic and most places are either burger/steak places or seafood so it's hard to find a place we can both agree on.

haha pretty sure she would win as allergies tend to top personal preference. a girl i am in the same group of friends with but dont really like happens to be allergic to everything, badly allergic to peanuts, dairy, yellow food dye, and about a million other things. so we cant exactly go get pizza (my favorite food).

trying to get closer to it i use to be a major carnavore something changed dont really like the taste as much

Vegetarian for some months, don't remember the exact date or anything. My father's a vegetarian so it's not such a far-out option for me. I don't like the way animals are treated in the food industry, it's horrible. Eating out can be boring, but luckily the pizza place near me has this delicious Italian pizza with mozzarella, parmesan, zucchini and aubergine on it so at least that's great. All the hamburger places (McDonalds, Burger King, Swedish-only burger chain Max) use the same vegetarian patty for their veggie burgers, which is a bit boring since it isn't very tasty.

I can recommend tempeh, it's a kind of meat substitute made out of soy beans and is absolutely delicious.

That really sucks.  At least my sister can be in the same room as Seafood, she just can't eat it.

In the states I was pescatarian. But, meat in Japan has much less hormones and crap in it, so I don't feel nearly as grossed out eating meat here. Besides, it would be nearly impossible to get completely away from meat in a Japanese diet.

Same reasoning here, I stopped eating meat (besides fish) a year and a half ago. It wasn't hard to do as it was hard on my digestive system, I didn't eat it much, wanted to try to challenge myself and the treatment of animals really pushed me to stop. One day I'd like to be vegan . .  one day.

I eat limited amounts of meat with only consuming meat once a week to every couple of weeks.  It's just expensive and I'm not all that fond of cooking it.  If I do eat meat, it's chicken [though today I'm indulging in a steak].  I have no moral issues as I feel everything has some sort of soul/essence including plants [which it's proven that they 'talk' to each other].  I just think the killing should be done respectfully the same when it comes to harvesting plants or using them.

[Natkat]

im NOT a vegatarian at all. I just like meat too much.

But, I do understand it sucks while eating out.
I sort of have same thing with fastfood that I get more and more picky.
I cant eat mc donnal food, everything taste horrible for me, I have tried to force myself to like it because its practical being outside in a group getting hungry and then your like "lets just got at bugerking or mc donnal" but compared to how much I normally love meat, things like that makes me kinda sick.

I was a vegetarian as a teen growing up in NY. However, when I moved to texas I made myself sick by not eating "a balanced diet', that was back in the days when iceberg lettuce was considered a good vegetable in Texas. My dorm had then and fries - everything fried and mostly meat. At least today, I get only organic grass fed beef - and watching it raised I know it has not had anything unnatural put in it. Actually I want to go back to being a vegetarian.  I know this sounds lame, but the only thing stopping me is that I really don't know how to cook vegetarian main courses. If someone cooked for me - I'd give up meat.

My family and I watched "forks over knives" and believe, after that film I am more than ready to give up meat. I'm just lazy with learning new recipes.
