Ok so why do some vegetarians consider themselves "vegetarians" when they eat fish, or some only eat duck on thanksgiving, and vegans eating cheese? I went to a hare krshna thingy with a friend...thats a whole different story but all of thme called themselves vegans and ate "goat cheese" can someone please explain to me what a freakin vegan/vegetarian is?

There is a company called Quorn in the UK which makes incredibly realistic-looking and tasting, fake-steaks and chicken breasts, bacon strips, etc.
Theoretically, since they are made from mushroom protein and contain no animal products whatsoever, a vegan should not be opposed to eating this at all - or have I got it wrong?

Does anyone find it diffiuclt to have a serious relationship with someone because they are a vegetarian, or because you are and your spouse/partner is not??
I mean I am starting to cut back my meat intake but find it hard because my boyfriend wants meat or when I cook he wants chicken or steak etc.... how does this work out?? Because I can't convince himt o do something he doesn't want to do (stop eating meat) - but we always have meals together....any suggestions on how to mesh these 2 lifestyles without having to cook 2 separate meals every night??

I only eat seafood from January to June and poultry from July to December. I also eat beef in February and May, pork in March and August, veal in April and September and venison in October and November. The rest of the time I am a strict vegetarian.

I couldn't get an exact date on it. I have a vague source that tells me it's before 2003, but I can't be sure. Does anyone remember? Also, in what way has Starbucks' introduction of soymilk on their menu helped the soy industry??

Just went out on yet another date last night with yet another non-veg. The topic of "why are you veg" came up, and I can't help but suspect my responses were less than ideal for her. Oh well, I do it to myself. Anyway...veggiedate turns up one hetero female in the area, and her religion is a deal-breaker.

My college doesn't have a veg or AR club. Maybe I should start one? Maybe I should get some veg t-shirts to advertise myself? I've been told that I should cut my hair to make myself more appealing... http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc188/safetyhats/selfpic.jpg I'm hitting a spot of self-loathing atm, finding myself unattractive and weaker than I thought I was. For a long time I've been a strong enough individual to be alone, but I miss intimacy and I want to find someone with similar ideals. :(

To those of you who met an already-veg partner, how/where did you do it? Remember, we make up only 4% of the population.

I ask this, because I'm a lacto-ovo-vegetarian who would like to go vegan. Unfortunately, though, I'm having a really hard time giving up my Coke! I know that sugar is sometimes filtered through charred animal bones, but often when I read the lists of ingredients for various sodas, I notice that they're sweetened with corn syrup instead of sugar. Of course, corn syrup is bad for you, but as far as I know, it's still vegan. Does anyone here have any info?

I was just wondering, because as a vegetarian who would like to eventually go vegan, I've noticed that even though most parts of the US are now becoming friendlier to lacto-ovo-vegetarians, it's still pretty common to find places with stores and restaurants that offer few (if any) good options to vegans. I would like to know where the vegans here live and how challenging they find their surroundings to be.

I'm a vegetarian looking to become vegan, and I know many foods contain ingredients made from animals (such as gels, marshmallows etc...) and would like to avoid those

I've noticed that there are some meat-eating trolls on here who try to have fun at the expense of vegetarians and vegans. Not only that, but in real life, vegetarians and vegans often have to deal with insults and asinine remarks from meat eaters. I've been a vegetarian for many years now and I have never attempted to convert a meat eater, though I do encourage those who show an interest in becoming vegetarians. Why can't some meat eaters leave well enough alone and mind their own business? If we vegans and vegetarians don't attempt to convert meat eaters, then they shouldn't attempt to convert us, either!

said they could not disclose their recipe. I had a vegan girlfriend who insisted it did. "Natural flavors" also typically mean some sort of animal product, or by product. Taste-wise, side-by-side, it definitely has a different kick.

Because some many people are concerned about having a label, I have created a list, let me know if I am mising anybody Because everybody needs a label --- your handy-dandy complete list of labels.


VEGETARIAN (Lacto-ovo- vegetarian)
When most people think of vegetarians, they think of lacto-ovo-vegetarians. People who do not eat beef, pork, poultry, fish, shellfish or animal flesh of any kind, but do eat eggs and dairy products are lacto-ovo vegetarians (“lacto” comes from the Latin for milk, and “ovo” for egg).
Lacto-vegetarian is used to describe a vegetarian who does not eat eggs, but does eat dairy products.
Ovo-vegetarian refers to people who do not eat meat or dairy products but do eat eggs.

I recently became a vegetarian and my mom got me some tofu from the supermarket. I have no idea how to prepare it and I'm completely clueless. LOL

I am a vegan, i started it for health reasons but have since become much more into the animal rights side aswell. My only problem is that i love leather, more than edible animal products, i love to wear leather: wallets, shoes, belts, jackets (if i can find one that looks good on me) even bracelets.
Does this make me not vegan? sometimes i feel bad about it, but other tiems i think about all the good things im doing for animals. i just need some clarification, am i being a hypocrite?

I have been eating lots of healthy fruits and vegetables, but for some reason I have been very tired lately. I don't eat any meat or anything else that is unnatural, so I know that is not it. Any suggestions?
