I'm reminded of the quote by George Bernard Shaw: "While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered beasts, how can we expect any ideal conditions on this earth?"

I imagine most of us have made our choices for our reasons and aren't asking to hear from the meateaters point of view. Rather we are asking our fellow veg heads.

Even though I'm a meat eater i respect everyone's right to eat the way they want. Anyone that hates people just for their eating habits are pathetic. That being said I'm just curious in what made you become a vegetarian.

do you do it to save animals, slim down, or just dont like meat?

I don't understand when some fish say they eat fish and chicken, but still consider themselves vegetarians. Aren't fish and chicken living, breathing creatures? Lets hear your argument if you have one.

Are most breads made with milk and eggs? I am asking because I just turned vegan and I was told that bread is not made with either of those ingredients. However, recently I have heard otherwise. I would just like to clarify this. Do breads that are presliced that come in bags (e.x. Dempter's, Wonderbread) use milk and eggs? I checked the ingredients and did not see any, although half of the ingredients I could barely pronounce so they could be hidden within something else.
Thanks!

Vegetarian—There are several categories of vegetarians, all of whom avoid meat and/or animal products. The vegan or total vegetarian diet includes only foods from plants: fruits, vegetables, legumes (dried beans and peas), grains, seeds, and nuts. The lactovegetarian diet includes plant foods plus cheese and other dairy products. The ovo-lactovegetarian (or lacto-ovovege-tarian) diet also includes eggs. Semi-vegetarians do not eat red meat but include chicken and fish with plant foods, dairy products, and eggs.

Bone char is used from murdered animals bones that is chemicalized into a white dust and mixed with the sugar cane like in candies, soda's, and other food and drink products. Then their are other investigative sources such as medical dental tootpaste bone char, charcoal bone char, and bone char is used to remove fluoride from water and to filter aquarium water. A safe alternative for vegetarians would be organic water and to use parve/kosher sugar products would you agree?

Curious about your intake on food or other read on the following:

does anyone make any kind of vegan ice cream?

I do not eat anything that had a face, moved independently, or had thoughts or instincts. I am also lactose-intolerant, so my dietary choices are very limited. I would like to lose weight and be more healthy, however, but I don't know how. Can someone please help me?

I am a competitive figure skater and I skate 3-4 hours a day five days a week. I also do an hour and a half of off ice strength and cardio exercises, three times per week. In addition I do 3 hours of modern and ballet classes per week.

I am in fairly good shape right now but would really love to lose a few pounds so that I look better on the ice and you can really see my muscles.

Since becoming a vegetarian I feel like I have been having trouble eating as healthy as I did before. I am eating more ice cream and sweets. I also use to eat fish but haven't been eatting it for one month. I would be willing to eat fish again if it will allow me to lose body fat. Also, my doctor said it would be good for me to eat fish because my blood is showing signs of having some sort of problem. I would really love to find a diet plan that I can stick to and lose weight. If anyone has any books, websites or personal suggestions that would be fantastic. Thanks for any help!

I do not consider myself a vegetarian. Should I become one? I wouldn't be doing it because of killing of animal. I'd be doing it because of me.

When I was 13 I stopped eating meat for about 3 years. At 16, I occasionally had chicken or tuna. To this day, ( @ 35) I eat very little meat. I drink soy milk and eat alot of tofu, beans and fruits and veggies. I always listened to my body, when it craved certain foods, I eat it. ( not the pregnancy cravings either) I find that my stomach does not digest meats properly therefore I stay away from them unless I am mising something in my diet.
When I was pregnant, I craved hamburgers and seafood. Now, I don't eat seafood nor fish, and maybe once a month if that a burger.
Is there an in between point for someone like me?

But I am not sure what my parents will think of this, I am only 14 and I believe my mom will be more accepting than my dad.
He is the sort of," good old country boy ".

So how do I go about this without pissing them off I intend to do it, but I don't know how to go about it.

I'm getting kind of tired of salads and I don't know where to buy tofu and stuff in an animal unfriendly place like Los Angeles.

I also don't drink milk, I drink soy milk.
I've been vegetarian for about 3 weeks now (and I admit, since I have started I have eaten chicken about 3-5 times).
I noticed my skin is significantly clearer of acne, but I'm worried that it's making my boobs smaller..

I am continually irritated when I buy leaf lettuce (never iceberg), knowing that in two or three days spots of black slime will appear and spead and that before I use even a fourth of it I will have to throw it out and buy another.

I wish to either know how to combat the black slime or that someone would invent a small head of lettuce that could be eaten before the black slime appears.

Pescatarians, or piscivore, or whatever else.

I choose not to eat meat because I believe that a vegetarian diet is healthier and the benefits of vegetarianism outweigh the benefits of eating meat. I don't believe that i am a "vegetarian" because I do enjoy fish on occasion.
I know that a fish is not a vegetable, hello, vegetables don't have bones! But at the end of the day, does it really matter? People have the freedom of choice, and can make their own decisions on health and ethics. Unless it really makes you feel more secure to call people names, why bother with labels and judging everyone else based on what you see as the "right" way to be.
Sure, animals are treated unethically sometimes, and I can understand that, but I'm not going to let trying to save the world one chicken at a time take over my life. I respect people who try to take such things into consideration, but it's harder to do when they go ridiculously overboard and insist on complete control.

Am I right, or wrong?
