Could you give up Meat?

ninerbuff

no, never. I would eat people if it came down to it.

I'm thinking so dirty right now.

Never tried it. Not even during my wild teen/young adult years.

Wait. I might have misunderstood the question.

NO ONE COULD!!

Yes - never really liked it too much. I like all of the seasonings on the meat more than the taste of plain meat itself. :-P Tofu meat is fine with me! There are some pretty good vegan (and raw) cheese replacements, oil, etc. I have worried about B12 (I'm vegan, btw) and implemented a mixture of spirulina (kinda seaweedy, so I take capsules) and nutritional yeast to compensate! ...I LOVE nutritional yeast.

I'm trying to genetically combine Steak and Bacon in a lab. SteaCon won't be considered a meat so we are golden.

Contrarian

Yup. No problem.

KANGOOJUMPS

hell no!,... everyone wants a good steak.

FizikallyFit

uhm no. Gotta have my MEAT! :flowerforyou:

No, I prefer to embrace my natural omnivorous dietary requirements.

For me, giving up meat has been extremely easy. In fact, I've barely even noticed!

I used to eat chicken once or twice a week and beef or pork about 3 times per month. Now I don't. Really don't miss it. Definitely do not miss cooking it. Yuck.

But give up seafood, dairy, sugar, etc...no way.

I probably could if I had the money and the time to buy and prepare all the food.
I don't eat much meat now because I'm a college student and meat is expensive

Really? I've spent less in the last few weeks than I have in months! Meat-free has been much less costly for me.

I cut out red meat for 3 months. It's possible but I gets boring. It's nice to have the big juicy steak and cheeseburger every once in a while

Yes, I don't eat much meat, but poultry and fish NO!

I've been a vegetarian for 13 years, but I could never be a vegan.

Absolutely and Unequivocally the answer would be a Responding NO!!!!! :noway:

This absolutely and unequivocally!

bcf7683

Absolutely not. EVER.

I won't do it.

Could I? Yes, I could give up meat. But I don't want to. I was raised vegetarian; didn't eat any meat until I was about 12. I've been a total omnivore for my whole adult life. I would never entertain the idea of going vegan, though.

There is not a cat in hell's chance I would give up meat - I'd have to replace it with cheese, chocolate and chips which would make me fat! :bigsmile:

I was a vegan for a large portion of last year then pescatarian -dairy because I wasn't meeting my protein needs. I ate fish but no meat and no animal products. I had to go back to meat eating when I came to Japan because there simply aren't enough meat replacement options. I still try to stick to soy milk and yoghurt. I personally don't like dairy much.

If I were in the US or back in the UK I could happily go back to eating like that. Especially in the US where milk contains all sorts of god-knows-what.

I was vegetarian for a year and I loved it. I eventually gave it up because it's just to hard to cater to myself and to my family.

knittnponder

nope.

There are some pretty good vegan (and raw) cheese replacements

LIES. All lies!

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?! Hahah, well, yeah - no replacement cheese will ever be able to compare to real cheese, but Daiya makes a good attempt, and nutritional yeast. I. LOVE. nutritional yeast.

If it was just not available anymore to me I think I would manage just fine. But i do not have the personal conviction neccessary to abstain. When I see bacon, boneless wings, or Steak, all i think is "yup, I want that".

I have to admit that I have seriously been considering it. Between having a Vegetarian for a fiance and recently watching a documentary called "Forks Over Knives" it has really pushed me towards the edge of giving it up or at least giving it a try.

That being said, I am not sure I am capable of doing it. I simply like meat too much not too mention I generally need between 150 g to 200 g of protein a day to keep up with my training schedule and that would be a tall order to maintain without meat. I am having to eat meat, egg whites or fish at every meal as well as whey protein shakes twice a day just to meet my protein goals.
