Meat eater, vegetarian or vegan?? Which are you?

I am a meat eater. I believe meat is VERY healthy....but it depends where your meat comes from. If you go out into a forest and shoot a deer/elk/moose...and get that meat cut up, then its very healthy and lean.

while if its the processed **** where farmers feed the animals growth hormones (chicken) and unnatural meals to cows...well...thats unhealthy.

Meat it healthy depending on where it comes from and the animals history of food and treatment.


Too much meat is not good - moderation in everything.

Vegetarian........ but I loooove meat! It's just ethical with me. Partner's a meat eater and son's a vegan which makes for very interesting mealtimes :laugh:

i'm a vegetarian, but it's not for a health reason, or even because i didn't like it, i just don't want to eat meat.

i don't need it, i get plenty of everything without it

I stopped eating red meat when I was 7. I gave up poultry and fish at 14. Then I became a strict vegan at 19. I've never been over the healthy BMI range and I think it's mostly due to giving up meat.

Man eater

Another pescatarian and I eat fish virtually every day. Don't eat meat or poultry because I don't like it.

I eat meat. I find a lot of people seem to think I'm vegetarian though, because they see me eating a salad for lunch, with quinoa and lentils and nuts. It's funny how some people assume that if you're eating a meat-less meal then you must be vegetarian.

Fish/Meat eater. Don't do a lot of red meat but sometimes we splurge for steak or hamburgers.

Agreed! I take my lunch 6 hours or so into my 12 hour shift. I think that is a long time for meat to go without refridgeration so I dont normally pack it either!

I'm a "vegan Pescatarian." I eat fish for my b12, but I otherwise try to avoid meat and dairy. I am not as hyper-vigilant as a true vegan, so at restaurants if something has butter or cheese (and I forgot to ask them to leave it off) or is otherwise made with dairy, I don't stress. Same if I eat at someone else's house.

I originally became a vegetarian because of the environmental impact, and I feel much better about that with my highly reduced dairy consumption. Plus, I eat very healthy now! I've lost 11 pounds since I made the switch from Vegetarian to mostly vegan (admittedly I also avoid some of the junk I was eating).

i tried vegan and blew up like a balloon. so i'll stick to my MEAT!!!!!!

Meat eater! I'm way to picky to only eat veggies and vegan?? i would die....no cheese or real ice cream forever? no thank you. I am super impressed people who can make those choices though.

I'm a plant-based dieter, what ever that is called. Almost vegan but not completely...I still eat greek yogurt for dairy and chicken breast or fish. If I want a burger, I'll eat it, but my desire for meat is almost nonexistant, with the previously noted exceptions. I figure even Jesus ate fish, so that has to be ok! I find that by consuming lots of plants with as little cooking or processing as possible, I feel better--all the other benefits (environmental, etc.) are bonuses.

I was a lacto vegetarian for 10 years, I actually started eating meat again (specifically chicken breast and fish) for the protein!
