vegetarians?

Question

are you vegetarian and is it ok to be a vegetarian??

Answer 1

It's totally fine if you educate yourself about what you eat. If you eat a lot of fast food or processed foods than it may not be the lifestyle for you. check out: www.ppk.com for recipes, forums, etc...
If you're surrounded by unsupportive people it will be hard. If you are strong in your belief in vegatarianism then it shouldn't matter what others think. Protein is a big point of contention for carnivores, but you can get just as much from other sources.

good luck!

Answer 2

Of course it is ok. I have been a vegetarian for over 5 years. It is very healthy if you take the trouble to get all the vitamins and protein that your body needs. Check to see of there are vegans in your area. They can steer you to good healthy foods. If you remain vegetarian for a year you will wonder how you ever ate meat. Good luck

Answer 3

I'm a vegetarian and I think it's ok for you to be a vegetarian, a healthy one too, I'm a vegetarian because I've always been disgusted by meat and I feel guilty and just weird eating it, but everytime a meateater finds out, they always feel a need to justify themselves, even when you don't provoke them or say anything, just expect it, I'm not a vegan because I find it ok to eat eggs, they are unfertilized anyways, and dairy products, because you're not harming the animal- I'm just tired of meat eaters ridiculing vegetarians, but that's life

Answer 4

I am vegetarian. It is fine to be one. I assume that you mean helath wise. A lot of peple worry about vegetarians getting enough prtein but hardly any vegetarians lack protein. It is more common for vegetarians to lack iron, but as long as you have fortified breakfast cereals, fortfied margarine, leafy green vegetales, marmite, seeds, nuts, dried fruit etc you can easily get enough and men don't need very much iron anyway and nor do post menopausal women. Itis most important in pregnancy but pregnant women are tested for irn deficincy and given supplements if necessary.

Answer 5

vegatarian life is Sh%%^$tnit would not go back to ever eating meat, the only thing keeping the right amount of protein, since I am a personal trainer I need that protein to keep my weight,most vegetarians become all skinny, but I have never stop lifting weights at 6'6 240lbs of raw steel I'm super strong although I am a vegetarian-no meat for me

Answer 6

I'm a vegetarian. It's great. At first I did miss smoked salmon, well actually, still do but I can live with that. Still eat Shepherds Pie, Bolognaise and curries etc. but I just use quorn mince and flavour with garlic etc. There's a lot more choice now than years ago. (UK here).

You can incorporate beans and pulses into curries, stews etc. I still have roast dinner just vege. pie or vege. 'meat' with all the other stuff.

If you became a vege. you will miss some things at first but you will be more healthy as no animals fats

Hope this helps.
