Any vegetarians on here?

I'm thinking about going vegetarian... With the occasional slip up cuz I do love steak and chicken and turkey, which is bad for you and the animals but its tasty :) ..... ANYWAY I'm looking for more vegetarian friends to help me stay focused on healthier eating so add me please!

    Hello! We're already friends but I thought I would comment on this. I am a vegetarian (have been for many years and it's not for ethical reasons...meat grosses me out)...I am also a nutritionist. Meat is not bad for you if you 1. Buy from local farmers that don't feed their animals bi-product, pump them full of steroids and preservatives, and treat their animals humanely (even though my vegetarianism isn't based off ethical issues, I am still a huge animal lover and do care about their well being) 2. Eaten in moderation: 1 serving is 3-5 oz and you really only need to eat meat a few times/week 3. Eat lean meats like poultry & fish 4. Watch the way they're prepared (e.g. grilled or baked, not fried) 5. There is such a thing called a "Flexitarian"- a person who eats meat occasionally but mostly lives a vegetarian lifestyle. Obviously, this is my opinion (and this is what I do for a living ;)) so take it how you will. Good luck :)
