Welcome to Gaia! ::

And a lot of people DEPEND on meat for their food because they can't grow vegetables. It is a delicacy in lots of places. Also, I don't want to be taking pills because if you don't, you are loosing out on the nutrients meat gives you. Which sucks. I don't want to be on a constant diet for the rest of my life. I wish the way they processed for was a little more humane, but while there is demand, they will continue to do what they do unless people act.

i try to be a vegatarian but it was hard smile

Well, for starters, I am a vegetarian. I don't consider myself biased (I do understand that most of those clips and stuff pro-vegetarians use as "proof" are fakes and extremely biased in their favor), but I also understand that there is some very torturous factory farming going on. Maybe not as extreme as some say, though. I have seen proof of this, although I recently checked the website and it wasn't running anymore (and no, it wasn't myspace).
And I don't think saying what I eat is very important.

And why not? All i'm asking is what you eat, so I can get some insight as to what vegetarians eat on a regular basis. But obviously it's your choice whether to tell me or not.

I'm thinking about becoming a vegetarian, at least mostly. I do find it disturbing that we raise some animals basically just to eat them (that is seriously disrespectful of other life), but it is also true that it is the way of nature that some animals eat others, this prevents overpopulation, and it is healthy for humans to have a slight amount of meat in their diets. I also find it annoying that vegetarians can preach to people about not eating anything with a face and eyes and then allowing themselves to eat fish. That just seems wrong.

I am not a vegetarian, although my family does try to incorporate vegetable substitutes for meat into some of our meals. Ever tried vegetarian sausage? It tastes even better than the regular kind, at least in my opinion.

Vegetarian or meat-eating? I settle for a liberal in-between.

I'm a vegetarian and became one after watching a video that a fellow vegetarian showed me at meetyourmeat.com. It was the one where they were beating the pigs and doing many other terrible things to them. People can still have a balanced diet by being a vegetarian. Meat has protein and so do many other things like nuts, eggs, soy, and fish (if you choose to eat it). But I also found out that the worst type of meat to eat is beef. It increases the risk for cancer more than any other type of meat. Just an interesting fact I found out.
