Answer 1

VEGAN!!!!!!! HERE and here is one reason why
Meat contains too much fat, too much protein and no fiber. Meat is the greatest source of fat in the American diet. Excessive quantities of fat consumed are linked to heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes. Too much protein can contribute to calcium leaching out of the bones. Lack of fiber can cause constipation, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and colon cancer.

Too much protein is unhealthy, because our body does not store protein. The protein that our body does not need is broken down and excreted. However, for every molecule of ammonia or amino acid cleansed from the blood, the kidneys lose an atom of calcium through the urine. This is called "protein-induced hypercalcuria". The calcium that leaves the blood is taken out of the body's vital storehouse of calcium, the bones. This calcium loss over the years can cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is usually not caused by calcium deficiency, but by protein excess. Osteoporosis is most severe in the people who consume the most protein.

Favorite veg... Eggplant and snap peas

My children were getting sick often and had Allergies, so doctor would say no diary as it produces mucus. So I cut out all dairy all allergies and colds went away, i gave it back allergies came back. I did some research came across a book called "Dont Drink The Milk". That made me seek out more info 6 months ago we all became Vegan, kids have not been sick since and no allergies.
Also you feel healthier and if you do slip up as i have done you get sick. BTW I have 4 children so it's not like I have one and can claim my little study if only one got sick after letting them have dairy again I would have thought s/he was just different, but it was 100%.

Answer 2

I'm not a vegetarian, but I do avoid meat because I don't believe it's ethical or healthy how much of the meat in our food sources is raised and processed.
I like eating meals without meat because there is more variety and I'm finding I feel more nourished if I eat less meat.
My favorite vegetable is the potato - white or sweet. They are just so versatile.
My favorite food changes over time - right now, I love pizzas from Proto's Pizza :)
And I think I might become a vegetarian one day because I keep finding more reasons not to eat meat. But for now, I still don't know how to balance my diet without meat so it's a work in progress.

Answer 3

1. yes I am
2. A looming heart attack
3. Yes, it has opened my eyes to many things they were once closed to.
4. Onions, you just can't cook without them

I will answer the other questions from when I was a meat eater.

1. no I was never a big fan of vegetables
2. my favorite food was prime rib
3. I never dreamed I could do it, but when a doctor tells you that a heart attack is looming, you do what you can to avoid it.
I had meat at seventeen meals the week before I gave up red meat. I had said a few times "I could never be a vegetarian."
My friends laughed when I became one, but I had little choice.
17 years later and I am still meat free, no heart problems and have toyed with veganism. Animal welfare has become an issue for me, but I make an example out of practicing morality and not preaching.

Answer 4

Yes. I'd have to say yes I am for the most part, beause I only eat meat once a week if that much.I just made the decision I wanted to eat vegetables and other things besides meats. I like grilled asparagus. I feel better since I stopped eating so much meat.

Answer 5

1. The pain that we put other living creatures through.
2. Finding it hard at the moment after 15 years.
3. Potato

To the person above regarding plants being the same as animals - When was the last time you seen a plant give you its paw, smile at you, show any emotion at all to you?

An animal has a memory and emotions. To have a brain is to have all the capabilities of ourselves. To take the life of something with a brain is to take the life of something thats related to us.

Answer 6

Ive tried so hard to become a vegitarian, but i dont like vegtables, so while i didnt eat meat, all i ate was junk food, so i just decided to eat meat, but not as much, and i gave up wearing leather clothes.

I would like to be a Vegitarian one day, im just not sure i could....meat is just so good!

My favorite vegtable is celery, it doesnt taste like anything, but did you know you burn more calories chewing the celery than the celery gives you its self....pretty cool

Answer 7

Yes! I have been a vegetarian since I was eighteen. I am now 28, ten years already. It was one of those decisions that you just come back to them, in your mind, and say to yourself, "You are wise." I decided to let go of pork, initially, because I was overweight. I noticed how good my body was responding, so I started researching the effects of meat. I then stopped eating meat, then cheese and eggs, and then stopped eating all animal sources completely. I really enjoy being vegetarian. Trust me, you don't get "weak." I had never ran over a mile. I now run 6-8 miles daily, six days a week. I feel good. My favorite vegetarian meals are rotini pasta, mixed with fried tomatoes/green peppers/onions, oatmeal with peanut butter, and last, but of course not least: banana/peanut butter/ and soymilk shakes(the best).

Answer 8

Am not vegetarian, eat most things

Evolution is survival of the fittest, we are surviving by eating what we need to.

Ok so a rack of barbequed ribs, or some nice steaks are not normal things in nature, but we are still animals and part of nature.

Also where can you draw the line with killing things, if we did not kill animals to eat, we would only be killing plants instead. Which if people think that killing animals is murder plants is too.

Forethere, thus or I conclude

We eat to live tis nature, and if I am dead the morrow tis not gonna matter to me whether I had Lamb or lentils
