Yes I am bored and wondered what you all eat. I have been a vegetarian for 9 years and I eat meat substitutes such as Quorn.

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.

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...?

If I was a vegan I would probably die as there wouldn't be much I could eat at all. I try my best not to wear animals but the way I see it is sometimes I cannot afford to buy non-animal shoes and I will get through less shoes than non-vegetarians get through meals (presumably ) Anyway this is my logic, I don't expect people to agree. I don't eat fish last time I checked they were still animals. "Fish are friends not food"

Apparently I'm a 'Demi-Vegetarian' because I don't eat/like red meat (the one thing I learnt from Food Studies). But it's not strict, like I never eat it, if I want to I will, but for the most part I just don't like the taste of red meat.

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

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

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.

I'm just damn parky. I'm not vegetarian but I go through phases when I can't stand eating meat and others where all I want is a cheeseburger or something similar.I think it may have something to do with the combination of PMS and depression that makes my life hell if I'm not careful. I generally try to stick to a healthy diet as I am quite a physically active person.

One thing though, I cannot stand pork or turkey at any time, regardless of all the factors

I like Quorn. I gave up meat not because I didn't like it but because I felt bad about the animals. Which is why I eat Quorn, also I don't know what I would eat if I didn't. I think I remember what meat tastes like, but then I can't be entirely sure as it was a long time ago. I think if I ever have kids I may well eat meat during pregnancy as I would be worried that the baby might not get the right nutrients from my veggie diet. I would talk to a dietician or something first though to find out if it is necessary.

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.

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.
