Yeah, it's the Internet, where people can disagree with you, whether you like it or not. But you just keep feeling superior, sweet cheeks. :drinker:
You're 44...isn't it about time you grew up? :noway: I seriously had to double check your age...Jesus Christ :laugh:
This cracks me up. Literally the only comeback I ever get from you little princesses is "you're old, Oldie Oldington!" Thanks for the update, buttercup. Yeah, I'm an old hag, one foot in the grave, etc., etc. And I wouldn't be your age again on a bet. Being old is awesome, because you reach a point where people's attempted jabs are amusing rather than hurtful. And honey, you are QUITE amusing, so keep 'em coming. That is, if you can think of something besides "zomg ur old lol". :drinker:
Truth be told, you're never too old to be a c___ to smug twits on the Internet. It can be quite invigorating to one's decaying body. Maybe you'll learn that yourself, in 12 years when you reach the antediluvian age of 44. Until then, you just keep staking out that moral high ground of Not Eating Animals. :laugh:
You have the wrong end of the stick (unsurprisingly), it wasn't a "jab" at your age, I'm just surprised by your immaturity, that's all
I thought you didn't have any more weapons in your arsenal. "You're so immature!" Darn tootin'. :drinker:
Guess what? You don't magically become a zombie when you're over 40. Well, you might, and more power to you if you do. But just because you're older than God doesn't mean you suddenly have to be sedate, polite, ingratiating, etc. You can still be a total b___. So really, why wouldn't you? All this social pressure to act like a "lady" just because you're "of a certain age"? Not buyin' it. And no, I'm not sorry either. :devil:0 -

Somebody needs to arrest all carnivorous animals, by the way, they're all being unethical.
Plants apparently don't matter. We can kill them all we want. They don't have faces! :huh: 0 -

This is proof that some people are threatened (or just bullies) by people that are vegan/vegetarian. She never claimed to be better than anyone. If you feel bad about not being vegan or whatever blame yourself. Don't pick fights with people. You make your own choices. Not too later at 44 to make a change.0 -

Why not just eat meat? Bang. Protein. Plus a lot of other nutrients we humans evolved to need. Why go to all the trouble of compensating for not eating meat? It seems like a vegetarian diet is way more trouble than it's worth. Humans aren't natural herbivores. That's just biology. :drinker:
She's vegetarian. She never disclosed her reasoning. Same as you ask her why not eat meat, why don't you stop eating meat?
Why defy eons of evolution? Why micromanage nutrition to compensate for the lack of meat? When you eat meat as part of a varied diet, you don't really have to overthink nutrition. You certainly don't have to worry about B12 deficiencies and such.
Lots of people have their reasons for not eating meat. Rape is part of evolution, would you condone people still rape freely just because it's a part of evolution? I would hope not. You don't have to worry much about nutrition as a vegetarian as most vegetarians get plenty of protein, iron and b12 without thinking about it. In fact, many meat eaters are also lacking in iron and b12. Most people with anemia you meet likely aren't vegetarian.
Rape is part of human evolution? Well, that escalated quickly. :huh:
And if vegetarians didn't have to worry about nutrition…okay what's the whole purpose of this thread, again? :smokin:
Everybody worries about nutrition on a weight loss site. The vast majority of posts asking for advice here will be from people who eat meat.
It was 0% harder for me to continue getting enough protein and B12 when I switched to vegetarianism. If I made more of an ethical commitment and went vegan it would require more careful planning but I like cheese too much to go there. However, if you do plan it out properly a vegan diet is just as healthy as one that includes meat. (And some will argue vegetarian diets can be more healthy)
Evolution has no impact on this, and it would be nice if you stopped derailing this thread with a personal crusade against a diet choice you don't like. Nobody looking for vegetarian advice has not already seen the "eat meat!" advice twenty million times and nobody really cares if it offends you that we don't want to hear it again.0 -

QFT0 -
Tofu and Soy are absolutely fine in moderation. Most of Asia have been eating it for hundreds of years and the Japanese have the longest life expectancy and lowest rates of heart disease in the world. Don't believe the scaremongering about GMO either - there is absolutely no clear cut evidence that it is harmful for your health.
I eat mostly vegetarian but I do also eat fish, so strictly I am a pescaterian (for protein!).
My favourite vegetarian foods are Tofu, Quorn, Lentils. Chickpeas, Beans, Protein rich veggies like Peas and Broccoli, Almond milk, Low fat greek yoghurt and high fat (it is good to have some fat!) Seeds like Chia and Sunflower, all nuts, and Soya products (in moderation). I also have a twice daily Whey Protein smoothie/shake which has really helped with my protein levels. Quest Protein bars are amazing! Have you tried them? All natural ingredients and 20g protein per bar. I also eat a Vegan Peanut and Maple protein bar as s snack (11g of protein).
Its very hard to get high protein from just veggies and pulses as a vegetarian. You have to consume so much to get adequate levels, hence why I use Whey and Natural (no sugar) protein bars. Howver I am following a diet plan for fat loss, so I have to eat between 150-200g of protein day.0 -

Flexetarian here,
On days I don't eat meat I typically eat foods like Greek yogurt, whey protein powder, Kashi Go Lean cereal, eggs, and soy milk/cows milk. I've found the introduction of protein powder to my diet to be very beneficial in terms of hitting protein goals and recovering from intense workouts. Good luck!0 -

Trouble with eggs is cholesterol. To get the protein you need you are likely to overdose on it :-) Try eggs and protein powder :-) Unless you are vegan Whey protein should do :-0)0 -
"Quinoa? Gak. sick Tastes like sawdust. And what's with the non-intuitive pronunciation? grumble"
If it tastes bad you should try some different recipes. It's kind of like rice or tofu, not so much going on aside from what you surround it with. Great nutrition though.
As for the name...it's from the native South American language. Why would you expect pronunciation to be intuitive to a language it isn't sourced from?0 -

You are correct. I was thinking "non-animal" (e.g. Vegan) sources, not vegetarian. Not paying close attention to OP. Going vegetarian, not vegan does provide more sources like eggs.
P.S. I could never go vegan because I'd never be able to give up eggs!0 -
