Anyone here a vegetarian or vegan? or know one?
If so, since when and why?
I find there are days when I just crave meat, so I'm wondering how v-folks do it. |

I'm a sudo-vegetarian and have been for about 3 years or so.
That means I dont eat red meat but will eat seafood and sometimes chicken (which doesnt really happen anyway)
I don't eat meat because the thought of gnawing on a muscled makes my stomach flip... I could give a about the animals |

| Wicked Neo is. I think they just buy quorn products that look & taste like meat but aren't actually meat. I've never got that myself. |

Yeh I went to a veggie place here in TO a month or so ago and we had fake chicken and fake pork. I was like :wtf:
Why do people who don't want to eat meat then go and eat something that looks like meat :conf:
I'm pretty curious about the animal rights and other political/idealogical reasons people have.
I met a vegan last Sat and he's very disciplined, right down to soap, not wearing leather shoes/coat, not eating eggs, dairy, etc. It was interesting to learn that even tarmac all whatever you call it that is used to make roads has some animal element in it (though he confessed to not being able to avoid using roads to get around). |

most vegetarians/vegans choose not to eat meat because they have issues with how the animals are treated/farmed/processed, not the actual meat itself. |

| See, this is where the brilliance of cloned meat comes in. Because clones DON'T HAVE SOULS! We can treat 'em any way we want! :whip: |

| Well I hear there are extremists (for lack of a better word) who won't even eat fruit unless it's fallen off the tree itself and not hand picked by a human. |

| I some times have a hard time taking vegetarians serioulsy because of how many people in high school said they were because it was kind of a fad. Too many people were vegetarians just to say they were. But I have respect for those that hold true to their beliefs about it and have been sticking to it for a long time. I personally don't know how anyone could live without the deliciousness of meat. |

That's how I feel about seafood. If you haven't had seafood or can't enjoy it... you're missing out, imo! |
