    Though I have fallen under every category at some point in my life, I have returned to Pescetarian.

    Omnivore!! But I do like to enjoy some vegetarian dishes at least once a week, having a vegetarian day. I went Veggie for awhile, but I fell into that horrible junk food and high carb trap! I don't think life would be quite complete without pulled pork and brisket and BBQ!! and cajun sausage... and other yummy meat things...

    But I am more gluten-free, or at least trying to be, due to advisement from my Naturopath!

    Vegetarian! Not really for health though, for ethical reasons :)

    All of the above. I go for a few months eating meat, a few months not eating it.

    When I do eat meat, it's hormone/antibiotic local poultry only. I stopped eating red meat and pork when I was 16. Occasionally I'll have fish but I've never cared for it much.

    When I'm not eating meat (like right now) I'm about 80% vegan. I eat vegan at home but I don't want to limit myself when I'm out so I'll have dairy when I'm out if I feel like it (or I don't want to cause trouble where I'm eating. If there aren't any vegan options, then I'll have the dairy. Just no meat.)

    For me it's a big combination of things. Mostly I feel much better when I'm vegetarian, some ethical reasons (I need to know how my meat is raised before I eat it) plus it's expensive to eat a lot of organic, sustainable meat. But I do looooove chicken.

    Why do there have to be labels? Can't we all just get along?

    Omnivore. I eat lots of chicken & shrimp (and sometimes beef tenderloin). I love meat, it is delicious and filling.

    Depends on how I feel that day. Unless its pork products I'm not too big of a meat person, not anymore.

    Omnivore. I'll eat damn near anything. Except potato soup. Potato soup's the appetizer they serve in Hell.

    Omnivore. I love food. Meat, fish, veggies, dairy....I'll eat it all. BUT...I do try to eat grass fed/cage free and get organic meat as much as possible.

    Not sure why there is a separation between people who eat meat, people who won't eat meat but will eat eggs and people who don't eat anything but plants and processed foodstuff that does its best to look like meat.

    Well one is an omnivore, one is a vegetarian and one is a vegan.
    I don't get your point.

    I'll eat anything that people haven't cooked up in a lab :)

    We buy our meats local and free range. We have some great farms around here. We usually buy a 1/4 cow and it lasts us a loooong time. We mostly eat chicken, turkey etc.

    I try to avoid GM foods, and buy organic. We have a garden, as do my very Italian in-laws. We usually pool together and can veggies en masse for the colder months. Everything just tastes better.

    I have personal preferences against eating anything out of a box, anything with soy in it, and I avoid most wheat products.

    Pescatarian (meaning I eat seafood occasionally, but otherwise am vegetarian) since 2008. Wouldn't change a thing and don't worry, I get plenty of protein. It's naive to think meat is the only source to get your fair share of it :)

    I don't eat meat because it's unnatural for me.

    vegetarian, but not touching this one... people tend to get pretty defensive about their "team".

    I'm not a fan of red meat for the most part. Just a taste thing on my part. And meat itself isn't healthy. What is unhealthy is eating an excess amount of processed meats as processed meats tend to be loaded with sodium-- about four times more sodium in processed meats than not. http://circ.ahajournals.org/content/121/21/2271.long

    I'm a meat-eater. I tried to be vegan once in my teens; I was told it would help clear up my acne. I couldn't hack it. And it didn't clear up my acne!

    I don't eat meat because it hurts my insides, and I didn't realise how uncomfortable I was until I experimented with being a vegetarian 11 years ago and suddenly stopped feeling like crap. Maybe it's not for everyone, and I totally accept that, but it works great for me. I was an unhealthy meat eating teenager and live now as a healthy vegetarian adult.

    Meat.

    I mostly eat organic hormone-free poultry now.

    I've reduced red meats to twice a month.
