Veg or Non-veg?

[rukia's_twin]

I'm guessing most of you must be non-veg. I'm a veg due to religious belief. But i read an article saying that a lot of people around the world are turning veg (yipee). It seems most people have started feeling for the animals. What do you guys think? If you are non-veg do you think you can evr turn veg? and if you are veg do you think you are missing something?

[Hell's_Gift]

Non-veg. Never thought of giving up meat. Never going to either

[II Xion II]

I am not a vegetarian, but I do not like eating pork (except in dire circumstances) and various other foods (like milk, just cheese, ice cream, chocolate, lots of candies, yogurt, etc.).

I am a fussy eater. I could not live without my meats though, especially since my favorite foods are lobster and prime rib, or maybe fillet mignon.

I eat vegetables and fruits, but just plants is way to blah for me and I also think it is unhealthy to eat solely plants your whole life due to my beliefs, although vegetables are healthier than meats.

[Gedanke]

I'm a non-vegetarian, myself. My personal preference really has nothing to do with religious or sociological beliefs and whatnot, or any other extraneous circumstances beyond my personal inclination.

I have tried a vegetarian diet and eating habits -- a friend a couple years back coerced me into trying it for a while -- but I found it just wasn't for me. I was fairly consistent and good about sticking to the diet for almost five months. However, over most of the course of that time, I just didn't feel as well or as healthy as I had felt prior to trying it. I have a very fast metabolism, so I eat a great deal of meats (or other high protein foods and such), and a great deal of high-carbohydrate foods as well. It's basically just to keep me from being lethargic and hungry all the time and keep me properly functioning. Vegetarian diets just leave me far too hungry and sluggish, so it's not something that really sits right with my body, personally.

Instead of just eating meats and the like, or just vegetables, fruits, etc, I just eat a lot of anything and everything. There's very little I won't eat. xD

[Icestorm]

Im an Australian.. so no. We are a land of dinosaurs.

[Karakura Red]

no veg also an australian by dinos do you mean meat eaters or herbivores?

[Tobi]

Non-veg. I love meat.

[Riw]

Non-veg. I have friends who are vegetarians, but although I've considered it, I've found no good reason to give up meat.

I like meat.

Of course, vegetarian dishes can be quite tasty also. I could become vegetarian, I guess, if I could get good enough rational reason for it.

[SoundWave]

Non-veg..

I could go veg. but it's too much a hassle to find alteranatives to regular raw material..

[SHiKaMaRi]

Non-Veg. I can't live without meat XD

I can convert to being a veg, though it seems like while vegetables are healthy, living off them with no meat might not be a good idea.

[skyoon]

It seems most people have started feeling for the animals.

:Haha

meat > "veg" or whatever you people are calling yourselves nowadays ;)

[renniw]

Non - Veg, I need meat to live ....

[Donut]

ANIMALS MUST BE EATEN.

Yes.

[KaidaSorano]

Non... Not eating meat can actually hurt ur body... besides Cow flatulents distroy the Ozone... I'm doing me part 1 steak at a time ....

<_<
>_>
that was a bad joke

I am doing my two meatball subs at a time! :)

I think the only way for one to truly be a vegetarian is to be born one in a family that is otherwise the temptation to eat meat would be too much in my opinion.

Oh, and the nerd in me compels me to tell you that cow flatulence doesn't destroy the ozone layer, methane is just a greenhouse gas and hence contributes, in a way, to global warming. Sorry.

[Rorschach]

There's a reason why humans have sharp teeth in the front...

Non... Not eating meat can actually hurt ur body... besides Cow flatulents distroy the Ozone... I'm doing me part 1 steak at a time ....
That reminds me of a ron white joke

[SoundWave]

If remember correctly.. I'm pretty sure we humans were vegetarians from the beginning..
Such things devoloped through evolotuion..

[skyoon]

If remember correctly.. I'm pretty sure we humans were vegetarians from the beginning..

no, you wouldn't remember correctly ;)

[SoundWave]

Nah you're right.. but our body was originally designed to a fleshless diet..

[Ares]

Non-veg...live with my mom and she's a meat lover :O but I'll be living with my dad soon so I might be turning Veg..

[skyoon]

LOL

you see, the one major flaw of that website, is that humans are omnivorous. meaning that we have features of both herbivores and carnivores. meaning that OF COURSE we would have similarities to some heribivorous digestive systems. on the other hand, i see that website duly left out an explanation as to why we have sharp incisors, or the fact that we DO have gastric hydrochloric acid in our stomachs, or why we have gallbladders that secrete fat-dissolving bile.

[SoundWave]

haha oh wells.. as I said you were right.. Guess I formulated myself a little wrong..

Makes ya wonder though..
Guess it just means we can choose our diet as we please?.. sort of..

[Toasty]

I'm non-veg. :)

However, a good friend of mine is veg (because of medical reasons)... his body doesn't digest the protein found in meat (beans, etc...) ... so he has to REALLY watch what he eats. ... He eats at our house a lot, so we've come to learn and love various vegan dishes. :) I'm still a meat-eater, though. I can't give up fried chicken and steak.

[lorraineChan]

Non-veg...i can't give up meat...

[.Rik-uh-shey]

Non-vegetarian here. I don't see how I could live life w/o my constant intake of steak, bacon, hamburgers, and chicken! Its just... inhumane!

[SLVR]

Id never cut protien out unless I was training for a fight or something.

[Chrono Detector]

Non vegetarian here. I'm pretty much of a full time meat eater here, like the rest of these guys here.

[ZER(o)]

Keep in mind there's a difference between a Vegetatian and a Vegan. vegetarians eat meat to an extent. A lot of vegetarians eat fish and chicken. A vegan is strictly an eater of greens. I personally eat meat. I do however hate the self-righteous vegans who have the Holier than Thou attitude about their food preferences. Like they're saving the world or something.

[shaberry]

If I were to be come a vegetarian...it wouldn't be because I don't like meat...it would be because I hate vegetables.

Non-veg...however...I do love my veggies...just not enough to give up meat ^_^;;;

[Rorschach]

So you voted Vegetarian...

I like veggies and fruits too, just that I don't intend to give up my meat eating habits anytime soon :)

[Samanosuke]

Well I'm meat eater number one actually :| So Ultra Non-Veg.

Not that I don't like vegetables and fruit though :>

[Guy]

Meh, I love pork too much, lol. Beef is good also. I don't really like vegetables that much, and I can't stand tofu-products (ie, tofu turkey).

[adorkable]

I'm a non-veg. I grew up eating meat, and I don't think that anyone in my extended family isn't a vegetarian. I've never really thought about giving up meat though.

[Waverly]

I'm not currently a vegetarian. I did become one for a short while (and I was also vegan for a shorter while.) I started eating meat again mostly because it is rather delicious. I don't eat it all the time, though. I've been known to occasionally choose a veggie-burger over some cow... but that is usually due to what I'm in the mood for at the time, not any beliefs that I hold either way.

[Milan]

I'm not a vegetarian and I don't plan on becoming one either.

[Sono i Lupi]

im a proud meat eater
now i can understand being a veg due to religios beleifs
but choosing to on ur freewill, thinking ittl put an end the killing of cows and etc is just stupid
humans are omnivores, we eat MEAT and greens
and you need to eat both, thats how your body works, you need protein

[Xkavanger]

I like both :)
You should have a good combination of both for your proper nutrients needs.
But its okay to be a vegan :)
I'm for both meat and veg

[Hannah]

Non-Veg... i really dont eat vegetables so what else should i eat then... MEAT
i love to eat my e-hubby too RARW!! XD

[Kensei-sama]

So it's myself and two others of 30 some odd ppl who are Veg. lol

I've been Veg for about 7 or 8 months now, and to be honest it's not that tough. Admittedly, I've adopted a more hands-on and creative culinary attitude, and you do need to pro-actively get your protein and iron from alternatives.

I chose to go Veg purely on ethics. I've seen videos I can't forget.

I've got nutrition info and know where some good literature can be found, so message me if you're curious ;)

[Evanesque]

I'm a total carnivore. I don't think I can ever survive only on veggies @_@

I'm a big animal lover but I don't know, I can't really give up on meat =/

The thing is according to our religion, the animal is sacrificed in the most humane way as possible (that is, killing it without causing it pain) so maybe because of that I don't feel bad about eating meat *shrugs*

However, veggies are equally important in our diet so intake of meat and veggies should be balanced for a healthy diet :redbiggri

I love fries! <3
XD

[Xalala]

Meat=:biggrinlo though I do like me veggies and fruits :Domo

[ronyap]

Im a non-veg :face82:

[Ichi-Zoro 3]

its hard not to eat meat... you feel so weak and tired when you don't eat meat

[Reenee_2340]

^totally agree wit u evanseque

im a meat lover lol, freakin carnivore

i like veggiez too, but i dont see myself eating them ALL the time.....I wuddnt live lmao

[Miss M]

non-veg...

I'd like to try being a veg. someday though... find out the results and stuff... ^^

[Reenee_2340]

one of my friends tried to b a veg.

she decided to be one for 1 whole month

unfortunately....she gave up da 1st week lmao

[boredomlover93]

non veg. i sorta hate my vegies anyway.... >_______________>

[Gojira]

Dude... I need meat with every meal. I don't know how those grass eaters do it... If it weren't so unhealthy to eat just one food group and I'd be a total carnivore... but until they find supplements that can allow that lifestyle then I'm an omnivore.

[chosenofmana7]

Non veg, can't give up my meats.
I do know a few kids who's family are full blown vegian(sp? they don't eat ANYTHING that comes from an animal, no milk, no eggs, nothing) and those kids are on the verge of death so I'm gonna just keep eating my steak and chicken.
Still tho I don't disagree with their theories, it is wrong to eat another living thing but its dead anyways so why not?
Non veg for life!:Domo

[yushin]

i would love to be a veg. but i dont know any recipes for veg.

so i eat meat most of the time

[momo-taichou]

I had a hamburger tonight for dinner...sooo non-veg :)

[yushin]

hamburger is that suppose to be a veg? lol~

[GoddessofHate]

lol NON-VEG...i hate veggies...i love meat its my favorite! i cant give it up for no damn rabbit food your crazy if you think a fat kid can eat veggies all the time so i'll keep cloggin my arteries with fat and greasy foods and become a diabetic and die from heart failure sounds damn good to me:)

[BeMused]

LOL

Besides, humans started out as hunter gatherers. :)

That article was written in 1970. Informations might have changed. Either way, the whole web page rings pro-vegetarian.

I love meat. I can't live without them. Enjoyed vegetarian dishes, but it couldn't last me for more then 2 hours.

[T_Ichigo]

I've been 2 weeks without meat before, and I made it very well back then and honestly I didn't want to eat meat anymore after 2 weeks, but guess what .. I forced myself.

[Shaz.]

im a non-veg, i eat meat, but cuz of my religon we are not aloud to eat certain types of meat, also the meat has to be prepared in a certain way so that im aloud to eat it. Sadly this isnt done by most places so im deprived to either fish or veggie foods. =.=

[Kimochi]

non veg. i eat meat but of because of my religion, i am not allow to eat certain meat. but veg is fine with me but i dun like veg meal cux there's no meat.

[Undying]

I eat everything as long as its edible and I like it. I don't like fish.

[Decado]

As some above, I love meat. I can't live w/o it. But I can't eat beef for religious purposes.

Annoying when I say that, and ppl are like: "oh you can't eat beef? Are you veg?"

No you dumbass. There are more meats than beef. Lamb, chicken, duck, fish, turkey, etc

[BeMused]

The opposite!

The majority in my community don't eat beef due to religious purposes. People is always assuming that I can't eat beef either. But as I ordered dishes which contain beef they look strange at me. ::roll eyes::

What... freedom of choice?

[Jeagerjaques]

I tried being a veg for 2 weeks 3 days. and then I saw Popeyes and being a veg was over...

[BeMused]

Uh, I don't quite get you?
Popeye takes spinach for a boost in energy (this is how the cartoon goes). Why watching it made you stop being a vegetarian?

[Rorschach]

Popeye's is a chain of fried chicken restaurants in the States, like KFC.

[+anime_lover+]

Non-veg, I would never give up meat. I tried once, I didnt even last a day, one look at meat and I just can't resist.

[EndlessSky]

If it tastes and looks good I eat it. Thats all there is to it :P.

[Nubaa]

Non-veg. Never tried being one, either.

[Yuffie]

Non-veg~ Tried to be one but failed (meat really burns my mind)

[GoldenFire]

non veg

I love huge steaks and meatballs and smoked salmon.

umm....... yeh :P

[Christian Lub]

non veg ... i gots to have my mean plus i hate veggies most of the time

[Neko Rae]

non-veg. How could I live without meat?

But I do eat vegtables too. I eat everything

[oekidani]

i am not a vegetarian I love animals but as long as I don't see them being killed I can eat them. There's something about meat that is in a way addicting. Once yuo taste it you'll always remember that taste and you'll miss it. That's why people are making food to look like meat when it really isn't

[notpr0nerz]

Non-veg, never tried being veg but I surely just like being balanced on meat and vegetables.

[doobiesnacks]

Wow! I am one of only 7 veggie people? In the end everyone knows best for themselves, so I am not about to judge anyone, but most of your alls comments didn’t sound very logical to me.

Just because it tastes good doesn’t mean it is good for you or that justifies the fact that animals are treated like corn crops.

If you can eat meat as long as you don’t see them be killed does not change the fact that they are and you are just blinding yourself to it..

Ah I am sick at arguing my beliefs at this point.. I will do you all a favor and the tree hugger nature boy will shut up.

[Edgey]

I'm a non-vegetarian, I believe that meat was put on this Earth for a reason, and that reason was to help us survive, that's my philosophy anyway.

[BeMused]

Popeye's is a chain of fried chicken restaurants in the States, like KFC.
Ah, I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am not from the States. ^^


Just because it tastes good doesn’t mean it is good for you or that justifies the fact that animals are treated like corn crops.
I respected the animals which I am going to kill for food.

Well, it is not only that it tastes good it is vital as part of your daily nutrition. I am speaking from my part, though. Of course I am not as crazy as to try all sorts of exotic animals for food... Growing up in a community which is comfortable in ingesting meat, it is either that you go vegetarian on certain days or it is due to some religious practices.

If you can eat meat as long as you don’t see them be killed does not change the fact that they are and you are just blinding yourself to it.
I have seen how the animals are slaughtered. I have seen how horrible it is. We have to sacrifice something to gain something. I know some of my friends who couldn't stand them being killed and turned vegetarian. I guess you need a lot more courage to eat meat. :D

[dawin45]

sorry for not being so on topic, but I take the omnivore side,both veg, and non-veg,so I could have an equilibrate diet,cas I need to grow big, i tryed to do only veg for 1-2 days..., but I kind of lost all my streinght in the process so the doctor told me not to eat only veg...
