By the way, and not to pick on you, because I know you are nice, but fish is fucking meat. Any vegetarian you personally know who eats fish isn't a vegetarian at all.

lol i know that the majority of here is male chris & no i won't mention soya but soy sauce is yummy lol & soya itself is yuckies & chris don't worry mate i know you're not picking on me

okay about this time last year i was having probs with my stomach vomiting a lot & i just put it down to stomach bugs but there were happening more frequent. so i went to see my doc & she thought i was producing too much acid so she gave me drugs to take for that & she done some tests & sent them off to the lab place. the drugs made me worse so i went back to her, she gave different drugs higher dose, they made me even worse but by that time it was clear that it wasn't acid in my stomach.

the drug tests came back all negative & clear, so she took more tests (if you'd seen my arm you'd swear i was a druggie! i bruise real easily).

throughout all this i was still eating meat.

i was put on waiting list to see a gastroentologist (spelling?), a few weeks before i going to see him i cut out pork because it's real hard to digest. i went to see the specialist dude & he said it sounds like i'm meat intolerant. & if i'm happy being a veggie then that's okay. not a case of being happy just a case of eating veggies don't make me ill!! he said i looked really healthly & it was doing me no harm. he done more tests to prove his theory.

& yupsi i'm meat intolerant. so i don't eat meat or poultry. i haven't eaten fish or seafood in years since in my early teens cause it was discovered i had an intolerance to fish & seafood.

i eat the veggies (the stuff that animals eat ), fruit, diary, cheese, beans (kidney) etc.

even with being meat intolerant i'm still battling to loose a few lbs!!! lol

i don't miss meat as a whole but i do miss bacon sandwiches with brown sauce

What gets you out of bed in the mornings??

I've never heard of meat intolerance before. Have you been sick your whole meat-eating life up until you stopped having flesh-based curries? It could just be a coincidence (or maybe meat intolerance doesn't kick in until later life).

Have you tried meat again since last year? It's almost worth the risk of a few days/weeks of sickness just to rule out the possibility that meat isn't the problem! Have a bacon sarnie, g'wan! You owe it to yourself!

My neighbors eat a lot of veggies because the son and husband have some type stomach/intestinal problem. The husband had to be hospitalized for almost a week from a reaction the first time. He had another recently, but not as bad. I have a suspicion it's not from the meat though because when he was out of town for work he did the steak/seafood thing while he was gone and never had any trouble. Wife insists on cooking with artificial sweeteners.

I suppose you could try something bland to see if there was any trouble, but if you're fine eating the way you do then stick with that. And sniffing bacon doesn't add calories.

I bruise easily, too. Vitamin C helps that, but if you have any oxygen problems like asthma that can make the bruises hang around longer, too. I have continuous dark circles of varying degree and dark patches by my mouth if I'm short of oxygen. And once you'd have sworn someone grabbed both my wrists I had bruise-looking marks on them.

Agreed. I could never be a vegetarian, that's just crazy talk. Even if I projectile vomited after every time I ate meat, i'd probably eat meat more often. Then i'd join a black metal band and eat meat before very show.

I absolutely fucking LOVE tofu....but I still love to eat a nice steak...but what I've got going on is like a diet with light meat consumption...like I only eat meat about 2 thirds of the week...and I don't drink soda....


I know it sounds crazy...but this kinda diet really makes you feel pretty damn good.....I just deep fry everything....

fried tofu is really good.

If I removed meat from my diet I'd fucking off myself. I can't remember the last time I had any fruits or veggies.

I have a huge amount of respect for vegetarians and as long as they respect that I can't do what they do, then we're good.

I can't imagine not eating meat.

I agree.

Especially with weight lifting; maintaining 200grams of Protein a day would be ridiculous without meat intake.

I try to give myself some variety. But I definitely wouldn't choose to cut meat out of my diet unless I had some prompting along your lines. But I definitely would in that case.

I'm here, been a veggie for 20,years.

Nope!
Eggs are meat in progress

__________________

I didn't know Bunnies are considered a veggie.

I'm a potato.

Nope!

Eggs are the food that the meat in progress would grow on, if the egg was fertilized, but it isn't if you are consuming it. Kinda like when human girls get there period to shed unfertilized eggs.....Chickens do that and then we eat it...we all got red wings!


I've never liked eggs.

This isn't quite a clever as you think. Meat in progress = meat. Fetus = meat. Embryo = meat.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah!
I only thought about these small little delicious things that come out of the egg.

In between I`ve tried Tofu one time and it was horrible...Would someone please tell me how to make it right? Too lazy to look up on the internet...

It seems that i could easily be a vegetarian. I hadn't thought much about it until just this week. the only things i cook are variations of these items: potato, bell pepper, onion, egg, pasta, pizza, corn chips, salsa, rice and beans. The only meat i have occasionally cooked with is sausage. But thats infrequent, so i could do without and not miss it. At this point, i have no reason to be vegetarian, so i am not.

NEEDS MORE BEEF!

Cut it in half inch thick squares or triangles and fry it until it's golden brown....then seperately stiry fry a shit load of chopped garlic and some green onions...then add some sriracha and soy sauce, and some sugar....then throw the tofu in the sauce....

best way to eat tofu period...if you like spicy stuff.

hah, i used to buy hamburgers frequently. For some reason, i no longer have the desire.

Not a vegetarian, but was engaged to one. I was fine with it and loved substituting tofu for meat, but being vegetarian isn't really as healthy as everybody else says it to be.

lack of essential amino acids and fats, inadequate protein (especially if you work out--like me), and some believe vegetarianism can cause rickets.
