Leaving the ethics part of the discussion out, I've always found this discussion topic fascinating. Omnivore, meat eater, vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian, flexitarian and on and on. Why can't people just eat? And those who do eat meat, how much do you eat in a day? It just seems that no matter what label you put on a diet, the majority of it should be comprised of plants, if for no other reason than there's just so many different kinds. I eat meat, but there are some days that I don't, not for any reason other than it just happens that way. I guess it has a different meaning but when I hear "plant based" I think "mostly plants" not "ONLY plants"4

I find the term plant-based more fitting because I don't share the rigid ethical mindsets that vegans/vegetarians have about animals. I like the diet mainly for health benefits but like to have some flexibility to indulge in some animal products every now and then.

I have been eating dairy/eggs/fish, but have been cutting back. Would love to talk about it. We eat vegan a lot of the time - so I have a couple of good recipes.

On average I eat 4-6 ounces of chicken, 4-5 days a week and then on Sundays I have a small local, grass fed steak, which is around 4 ounces. So yeah, while I eat meat it's not the main component of my diet I'd actually like to switch out most of the chicken for fish and it's one of the things I'm currently working on.0 -
I've been vegan for roughly 5 years, you can add me if you like. I strongly recommend reading Vegan for Life by Norris and Messina for good, evidence based information on vegan nutrition. Both Norris and Messina are registered dietitians, and provide solid information on how to stay healthy on a vegan diet. There is a lot of really terrible information out there.1

No, alot of people have a meat-based diet
People, as in humans? Only meat?
(I think you are joking )
I said based, not exclusive lol I don't know how many posts I see where people eat chicken all day. Gross.
After spending three years in vegetarian communities I personally find soy and oatmeal disgusting but wouldn't find other people eating this gross.0
