Vegan, Vegitarian, or Meat eater.

[Mommypooh]

I just wanted to see where everyone stood on this and see people's real life side. So come on you all lets see if you are what you eat.

I will go first I am a meat eater. I also eat vegtables of course. So who is next.

[Nija]

I eat as few veggies as possible.

[eSDee]

My girlfriend is vegetarian and heading towards vegan. I am a omnivore but I am eating less and less red meat. Although I am doing that because I love her, I also think that it is healthier to stick to fish and eat more vegetables. Eventually I would like to be eating only fish for meat, maybe eggs and cheese but other than that veggies and other non-meat. We'll see how that works out.

Just cut off your penis now. ;)

[Jeffbx]

Salad is what food eats.

[MikeD]

Meat eater, though I prefer fish/chicken to red meat for health reasons...

[Lolita]

Meat eater, but I'm big on vegetarian food.

[WhiskeyPapa]

I'm usually a big meat eater, but I haven't eaten meat for 21 days now. I've actually been eating nothing but raw fruits and vegetables. Last week I started eating eggs again, but still no meat and very little dairy.

After three weeks of this experiment, I'm convinced I could never live as a vegan, but probably could do just fine as a vegetarian. After Thanksgiving, we're probably going to try to cut back on our meat consumption. We'll probably have it three to four times a week, rather than 10 to 14 times a week like we were doing...

I hope to eventually get to the point where we don't eat any meat that we don't raise or kill ourselves (lamb, chicken, deer, pheasant, fish, etc.)

[esme]

i rarely eat meat .....i prefer/love chicken :lick:

[cadetevon]

I'm an omnivore.

[kgsilvas]

Omnivore. Love my veggies, but every once in a while a juicy rib eye fresh off the grill is needed!

[Mommypooh]

the base of all our meals is meat. I start with meat and then add other things to go with it. I do prefer Chicken though.

[nickel]

where's the Man Eater option? :hihi:

i'm a meat eater, but if i go a day w/o it, and i do, i don't miss it.

[eSDee]

I would do anything for love, but I won't do that!

I can't do that soy, vegatble meat subsitute. I don't like that stuff. My one cousin is a Vegitarian/almost vegan and I try the weird stuff she brings to the family gatherings just to be nice, but man almighty that stuff is nasty.

[esme]

an ex-coworker was vegan, the only "food" i tasted was a piece of chocolate cake and it taste the same to me :shrug:

[zenbooty]

I can't do that soy, vegatble meat subsitute. :stupid:

In San Francisco, there is a South African vegan restaurant (I know, only in San Francisco... :) ) where they have a vegan beef substitute that really was convincing (cooked thin like medallions with sauces), and I have had some veggie burgers that in no way resembled beef but were ok in their own right. But other than that, I've yet to encounter any promising beef substiitute out there.

[baggio248]

I just had two slices of a veggie pizza for lunch. I am a big meat eater, but I also like veggies just as much if not more. Mostly because there is a bigger variety. I also eat and cook veg only meals too. I've known alot of vegetarians in my life, and i've cooked them dinner before.

Protecting yourself against the inevitable mad cow/avian flu outbreak?

[WhiskeyPapa]

Protecting yourself against the inevitable mad cow/avian flu outbreak?No, my reasons mainly have to do with being extremely cheap!

After processing, our chickens end up costing us a total of about $0.45 per pound and lamb is about $1 per pound.

Mmmm, chicken. And you're forgiven for your cheapness. You gotta stretch that money out in that household! :)

o.O wow, that's rather bizarre. especially since all the South Africans I know are BIG meat-lovers!

I'm with nickel, i eat meat, but skipping a day or two doesn't bother me. Though if I go too long w/o red meat (a few months), I'll start craving a big steak.

[rasetsu]

It's all about moderation. I've yet to see someone who's in the extremes of either spectrum that LOOKED healthy.

[Grimm]

I am a vegitarian once removed.

I only eat things that eat vegitables.

I try to limit my red meat intake. I have a hard rule that I never eat more than 16 ounces in one sitting (then I get up for seconds).

[gear02]

you can't make friends with salad

[Freelance Superhero]

for what it's worth, my favorite pizza here (los angeles) is the Veggie II at the Village Pizzeria in Larchmont. it's pesto based (i love pesto), with lots of garlic, mushrooms, spinach, and breaded eggplant, and it's absolutely marvelous... :drool: in fact, i just made myself hungry...

I think I will make that my rule too. I like it a lot

[Thesifer]

I don't really watch what I eat. So I eat meat, Vegetables, fruits, whatever. I've been drinking Naked (http://www.nakedjuice.com/iwant_immunity.php) for breakfast lately though.

I had a tofu hot dog once. Maybe I was tricked...but it tasted the same as a regular hot dog.

Probably had all the nitrates. That makes it real healthy! :heh:

[molecularfire]

I am a big meat eater. When I really feel that I need to get healthier, I eat vegans.

Wow, what a bunch of meat eaters we G|A'ers are. Yummo!

[cheapie]

if God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat.


:heh:

[DarkFury]

Please pass the steak and the steak sauce. Thanks. :lick:

thats including the cost of the food you feed them and other costs (i'm assuming they need shots or something)?

[Kevster]

I'm a definite omnivore. I eat a lot of vegetables, but I love fish, lamb, chicken, etc. I'm not such a huge fan of beef these days, but when my family was raising our own it was the best. :lick:

[cheapie]

i've started eating more pork and less beef. we grill pork tenderloin every so often and that is incredible.

just don't overdo it, and start oinking :P

[ShawnLee]

o.O wow, that's rather bizarre. especially since all the South Africans I know are BIG meat-lovers!I was going to make the requisite joke about you and South African meat, but will forego. Just chuckle at the humor that might have been.

Anyhow, I missed this thread over the course of the week, but I love all food, including meat. Me gusta meat.
