I eat meat every day without fail. Sh*t loads of it, and if i'm having steak it'l be around 20 ounces of meat.

I could not live off rabbit food and meat substitutes. Personally. Although I have no problem with people that do. I just love my meat, simple as that. And that's why my cat is built like a house, because his diet is created by me.

Also, I can't take Quorn seriously, not since Ryan Giggs turned their commercials into a comedy ;p

Like Martin I love my meat too much to ever become a vegetarian. Although I favour white meat (esp. chicken) to red meat these days, with plenty of salad.
What can I say? I did it all for the Wookies.

I'm the same- I just couldn't give up my chicken and steaks and other variants of meat, and I don't want to either. I honestly have no problem with it, but each to their own.

No i'm not sure I understand the vegetarian thing either.

If you don't eat meat because you think it is wrong then why aren't you a vegan?
It's not ok to eat the animal but it is ok to wear them? Some people are like that.

Not aimed at anyone, just pointing out why I don't understand it in some cases.

Plus the animal is bred for us to eat it and it's dead anyway- might as well not let it go to waste

Apologies if anyone here is pescetarian, but they're the diets I really don't understand if they're 'vegetarian' for animal cruelty reasons. And the difference with eating a fish is...?

Three animals, or three vegetarians?

I'm not a veggie. Not overly keen on too much meat (though uni changed that) But... what's my point? I'm not a veggie? Yeah I've already made that point. Ho hum.

I luuuurve chicken/turkey. Beef/steak/lamb/pork etc is ok too, but white meat is my personal favourite and despite my girlfriend being vegetarian, I will never give up the white stuff. Heh.

I'm sure it goes down well with a nice glass of 'champaign'.

And yes, Greggs is nationwide, so there's no excuse for anybody in the country to not eat there.

Also, at the same time, my dad turned on the T.V at the exact second Richard Wilson, in his Victor Meldrew character said "I don't believe it!". It was like a nice comedy double pack.

it is highly, highly rare, but i can assure you it exists

Random point - being a vegan must be so much hard work, that I think if i was ever a vegan, i'd have to allow myself some exceptions.

incidently, does vegetarianism cover all animals, or... just some?

Ive been a vegetarian for about 10 years now.
Im not a vegan though because.. i dunno, it seems to take it a little bit too far. I did only eat free range eggs and stuff though.

And vegetarian covers all animals, unless you're one of those stupid half-assed vegetarians who eat fish. what is up with that, eh? and some dont eat red meat and such.. i wouldnt really call all that vegetarianism, just fussy.

I'm not a vegetarian or anything like that but i refuse to eat lamb as it makes me feel very guilty! i know that's a bit odd, as why should one animal matter more than others, but then, lambs are unbelievably cute.

I'm kind of on a dairy free diet at the minute as i have a dairy intolerance, which is a pity as i love cheese and cream, etc. But Sweetened Soya Milk is actually better than milk

I don't understand why anyone would eat Quorn. It's vile, awful stuff, and why would you want to eat something that looked like a meat product unless you harboured secret longings for meat products in the first place?

Martin here are the reasons I am a vegetarian and not a vegan.
1. When I was 10 my mum took me to the indoor market, I had a pet rabbit at the time. We walked through the meat bit and there were lots of dead rabbits strung up with blood around their necks. This upset me deeply.
2. Vegans cannot eat chocolate
3. I do not understand where vegans get their protein/calcium from
4. I am quite a fussy eater (ish)
5. Vegans cannot eat ice cream



OK cool, thanks

I cant compare them cause i cant remember what meat tastes like - but when my mum makes lasagne with it, no one can taste the difference.

im not sure why they always strive to make it look like a meat product though. it might be so you dont feel left out with all the meat eaters.

but those sweet fluffy lambs wouldn't be there prancing around the field if they weren't going to be eaten. that's why they're bred. so we can eat them.
personally, i just don't eat lamb cause it's so fatty....you can't just bite into it, you have to p*ss about ages cutting it up. so, i can't be bothered with it. Oooh, but I do like the mint sauce my dad makes to go with it. Mmm. That's vegetabley kind of, cause it makes it from the mint in the garden. Mmm. Tasty goodness.

I'm a level 5 vegan, I don't eat anything that casts a shadow.

That's a lie. I love my meat. I do quite like Quorn actually, I always used to have veggie sausages at school because they tasted nicer than the regular ones.
