Stay Vegetarian

So I’ve basically been a vegetarian for over a year and I’m pretty positive that I’m not going to be quitting anytime soon. After becoming one I have a million times more energy and I feel a million times more alive. I’ve tried quitting, but the taste of meat to me now is so completely revolting that I cannot stand it. So I’m meat free…hopefully forever?

Meat has never been a true priority in my diet. I’ve always substitued it with more veggies or something of equal nutritional value. But when my mom cooks, she ALWAYS has to have meat in her dishes. I can’t get away from it! And even when we all go out to eat, when I chose vegetarion dishes, they always insist on some sort of meat to go along with it. I’m just not into that anymore. I’ve realized the global affects of processing meat, and if I can do anything to decrease it, I would! And so I am ^_

Also, ever since I saw those videos on how they kill the animals and all that, I’ve been mentally scarred for life.

Also, even though I would never support animal cruelty, I really don’t support Peta or Peta2 (even though Peta2 is basically the same thing but going towards a more younger audience in a way). I truly support their reason and purpose completely, just not most of their actions towards solving the problem.

At first I was all for Peta, but once I dug deeper into what they were REALLY doing, and actually DID my research (as some people I know didn’t, and still support them fully which annoys me), I realized the corruption behind it.

But again, I support their purpose, just not their actions.

But regardless, going vegetarion is one of the best things I’ve done. If I keep it up, hopefully I’ll make it as a vegan (but it’s hard to let go of eggs, yogurt and cheese lol). I already don’t like leather.. it doesn’t feel right. Or fur.

yea!

vegetarians rool!

The whole reason I wanted to turn vegetarian in the first place is because I found out the truth about animal cruelty and how they slaughter them. The videos I saw made me realise that I wanted to do something about it. By not eating meat I’m not supporting that industry and the cruelty those animals go through. Not only that but I’m also cutting back on my carbon emissions. Did you know that the livestock industry is one of the three main factors contributing to global warming? The other two are factories and exhaust from traffic.
So I’m happy I’m not contributing to any of this =]

I have not eaten any meat since February 5th (except twice accidentally). I feel more energetic and a lot happier. Its incredible to be actively doing something to help my planet that is actually great for my own body as well.

Totally worth it – I would never go back to eating meat.

Ofcourse, the fact that i was born into a vegetarian food helped me a lot.I have been a vegetarian all 29yrs of my life on this surface of earth.
I find that having never eaten meat in my life(except accidently on a couple of occasions) helps me in not having those meat cravings that many meat eaters have when they finally decide to become vegetarian.
Also, Many people view vegetarian food as this soy based and gluten based or fake meat based drab diet which lacks taste.
For one, I find the taste of soy very chalky.I have never eaten meat in my life, so i have never felt the need to find alternatives that taste or look like meat.So, therefore , the fake meats never configure in my recipes.
I am sure there are a lot of wannabe vegetarians who are struggling with their attempt at turning vegetarian primarily due the fact that they do not know good tasty vegetarian recipes.
There are lot of countries all over the world whose diet patterns includes a lot of vegetarian recipes as everyday dishes while meat figures only in their occasional menu.For eg, India, morocco, mediterranean,lebanese etc etc.
leave a comment for me if you need help with recipes or if you want me to figure out a tasty recipe with ingredients of your choice.
good luck !

i was vegetarian for about 4 months but then i had a craving for chicken nuggets :( i went for it but then i felt guilty. That was a month ago and I havent eaten meat since. Being vegetarian has prevented me from pigging out on KFC and McDonalds, so i guess my diet has improved.

I’ll have meat probably once or twice a month. I am not a complete vegetarian but I’m close.

Yay! Vegetarians are cool. I have been working on the veg thing since October of 2006, and I plan on staying this way. I started eating meat again after not eating it, and eeewww. Gross. I just felt so nasty. So, yay! And we should recruit more peeps.
