Yes, I am vegetarian. That's how I keep my svelte figure.

I find it humorous that you list "meat eating" as a vice similar to "smoking" and "drinking". I don't smoke or drink and I pump in the gym everyday for two hours. But I eat meat like a warrior. The benefits include greater muscle mass, strength, raging boners and less body fat.

Oh, and thanks to our eating meat we're far higher on the foodchain. It's what seperates us from our plant eating brethren.

You're nuts, so you can eat yourself and still claim to be a vegetarian.

Have to add that today I almost became vegetarian. A guy over here was convicted to psychiatric treatment. He murdered his friend, cut him to pieces and stir fried the meat. He's a Chinese immigrant, claiming to be paying the price for a mistake in a past life. He'll have something to correct in his next life as well I guess...

I'm not a vegetarian, but my kids are, since last New Year's day.

I can't seem to conquer my craving for meat (plus, I am having an ongoing, long-term love affair with my barbeque -- there's something so elementally appealing, so positively primeval about cooking meat over flame), but I do therefore eat a lot of vegetarian food.

I can enjoy any food, no matter the content, as long as it's: (a) Tasty & (b) Plentiful.

(BTW, my wife is a nurse, so she ensures that the kids get adequate protein/nutrition from their new diet.)

I am proud of my children for taking an often difficult stand on something they believe in, at such young ages (13 & 10).

They switched to vegetarianism mainly for moral/ethical reasons, but are also aware of the health benefits.

Vegetarian eating is cheaper overall, too!

his sort of comment is EXACTLY what I'm talking about.

Its almost Pious.

c'mon now, Mr Dog... not all of us veggies make a religion out of our diets...

...I'd be perfectly OK sat with you while you're munching down a steak, providing you didn't make fun of my nut roast...

It's no religion for me, I just put things in a dramatic, over the top way cause it's fun =). Also, i'm an english major...wordy phrasings are expected of me.

for those about to prog, we salute you.

There's one thing that annoys me though, and that's people who sell, buy and eat things with names like 'Quorn Schnitzel' or 'Vegetable Burger'. If you really are a vegetarian, why would you need some non-meat that is named after a piece of meat? That, from where I'm standing, is pure hypocrisy. Feel free to disagree...

Well, from my perspective, meat is disgusting so why would I want to eat an imitation of something I think tastes bad?

It's not exactly hypocrisy, but I guess you could argue that it's promoting the continued existence of a "meat-eating culture"...but really, most vegetarians I know are doing it for personal reasons and not trying to eliminate human consumption of meat worldwide.

Is alcohol vegetarian? I know it's made from vegetables (fruit or cereal) with sugar and yeast, which is a fungus, (drink more beer and be a fungi!), but don't they use issinglass and gelatin to clarify it?

I eat meat rarely, but prefer my vegetables to be cooked a little longer.

What?

I'll eat whatever tastes good as long as it's not human flesh or I knew it once.

LOL

I eat meat because it's tasty and it's a good source of nutrition. And yes, I'm selfish. I was born selfish, it's part of my primal instincts. This selfishness is part of securing the welfare of the future generations of my breed.
