    Vegan
  • Meat-eater, but I'd love to be vegetarian (or even vegan) sometime in the future. It's just hard to convert when I still live with my parents and they look all of the meals.

    I take my hat off to all vegetarians and vegans, you're doing a great thing!

    Semi vegetarian, I eat some types of sustainable fish and cheese. I went vegan for about 2 years but when I was pregnant I had a really bad bout of morning sickness while out on a field trip and literally the only thing around to eat were cheese cubes left over from my kiddos lunches so I had to cave then and there, lol. Also, veganism was pretty difficult for me to maintain in the sense that I felt I was having to be really high maintenance with my food requests when we would go out to eat or eat at other people's houses and in the south everyone finds it offensive if you don't eat their food :)

    Meat eater, but I aspire to be a vegan one day. Seriously. Vegans are a step above the rest of us on the evolutionary scale of ethics and morality.

    Wow I've actually never heard an omni admit to that!!:tongue:

    After reading The Vegetarian Myth I'm not sure how true this is

    Vegetarian. :) One of my biggest pet peeves is people not understanding exactly what a vegetarian is/or pescatarians claiming to be veggie (the amount of times I've had to explain I don't eat fish or marshmallows/haribo/etc...)

    None of the above? Used to be vegitarian, now I eat chicken, but very very rarely any red meat I(and when I do I feel sick). I do not eat pork or seafood (except for fresh out of the water crab).

    I am also lactose intolerent...so I eat a lot of almond, lactose free, or soy products.

    Meat Eater, but I try to limit the meat. I was a vegetarian for 3 years.

    Vegan. For the ethics and environment, but I'm obviously trying to keep healthy, being on here! Just for a twist, my macros are somewhere between 50:25:25 and 40:30:30 carb:protein:fat. Being vegan does not necessarily mean ultra high carb. There's more protein than you'd credit in vegetables.

    Life is too short to spend it eating food I hate. And I hate the taste of the vast majority of meat. I remember cutting ham into small enough pieces that I could swallow it like pills when I was a child. Pork is so monumentally disgusting.

    I don't understand why anyone would want to eat a dead animal, but then again, not everyone shares my love of pickles or mustard. Different strokes. I just hate when people act like I'm some freak of nature, or come to my home and eat the from scratch meal I slaved over only to throw a temper tantrum about the lack of meat.

    I'm now vegetarian but wish to become vegan someday. I'm now searching for more articles and books about vegan diet, and constantly communicating with people who have been vegan for a long time and ask them to share their experience and give me some advice. I'm now trying to cut down dairy out of my diet step by step and searching for possible dairy alternatives. :]

    Watch out how much you trust that book; it cites Wikipedia multiple times and says a lot of things that are downright not true. Not saying everyone should be a vegetarian or vegan, but that particular book is not the height of reason.

    Meat eater who can't stand Vegans, sorry, I mean no offense, but every Vegan I have come in close contact with is so militant about it I just want to plant my fist square in their holier than thou throat. I'm sure not all vegans are like that, but there are enough out there to give the rest of you a bad name.

    Oh, and I eat meat for the ethics and morality of it too.

    I think my favorite part of this post is "I can't stand vegans, no offense".
