do it mate, is so much better for you, well is for me anyway, cuts out so much crap food that you eat cause it is easy, cant remember the last time i had a take away! also removes a massive chunk of fat out of your diet and forces you to eat loads more other healthy things to fill you up. ive not missed eating meat at all, only though about eating it a few times when i have smelt some cooking when ive been hungry… i reckon ive lost loads of wieght not all down to being veggie, but a big chunk is for sure!:love:
Redd Foxx once said: “..A lot of you don’t drink, no smoke.
Some people here tonight, they don’t eat butter; no salt, no sugar, no lard. Cause they want to live, they give up that good stuff.. Neckbones, pig tails.
You gonna feel like a damn fool laying at the hospital dying of nothing”.
I’m inclined to agree (though Redd Foxx did die of a heart-attack whilst on-set! Everyone thought he was acting). Tbh with the amount of alcohol and various other toxic substances most of regularly us put into our bodies, a bacon butty’s the least of my worries.
I try to not eat to much red meat and I am constanitly trying to eat more veg and fruit. My diet is always a bit odd though, the other month I lived off microwave samwidges.
Do not eat meat at least half of the week…meat production is one of our biggest contributor of polution and animal abuse…just that fact have made me cut my meat consumption….
I usually have a bacon sandwich for breakfast, chicken sarnie from the shop near my work for lunch, and some kind of meaty meal for tea.
I do like veggie food much quicker to cook tastes good and don’t have to watch it or wait for 30 mins to cook, its overall good, once you see that there really is no point to meat and start becoming a fan of veg burgers which to me some taste better than meat and it’s cheaper to go vegetarian in my opinion, alot of crap meats as well in stores like Tesco.

Out of all supermarkets Tesco does the roughest meat. It’s always full of fat and rarely do you ever get a good cut. I just stick with a butcher these days. not all the time mind, just when I want something special! 😉
Also with regards to the meat situation, I do like it but prefer fish based meals tbh. Has to be fish from sustainable sources though, Our oceans are being destroyed and such measures can ensure the survival of some highly sought after species.
The situation is getting more bleak each year though, One day our oceans will go past that point of no return and all because some rich wanker wants a bland shark fin soup for lunch everyday.
I love the ocean, really wish I had joined the navy when I had the chance. :/

yeah im hoping it’ll help me lose some weight 😀 although thats not my main reason for doing it, my moral outlook on the world has changed somewhat. I was raised to think we’re totally superior to animals and could do whatever we like with them. After making up my own mind about the world I decided the only thing that separates us is complexity and I should do what I can to minimize the complexity of things I consume. Its a personal choice though I don’t think it’s wrong for other people to eat meat that’s their choice. I bought my first shop of veggie stuff last night, i still had meat to finish off but going to give it a go now. I’ll miss you bacon and steaks *sniff*
Do vegetarians eat eggs?
depends on the person but generally its vegans that don’t eat eggs.
I don’t really care for vegans, specially not the ones who enforce this on their children. Read a study where it showed kids eating a normal varied diet performed better in a variety of tests than children on a vegan diet.
I think people can do whatever they want but enforcing stuff like this on kids without their consent is extremely unethical imo! :crazy_diz
Wow, looks like I be the only vegan on here. Well, OK, I lie, I’m not strictly vegan (I still eat some dairy stuff), but where possible I will eat soya-based products, and I also avoid anything containing eggs… I’m, like, a vegetegan or something. 😉
I eat meat but try and look out for ethically sourced stuff. Some of my mates are setting up a farm. A curious and somewhat annoying thing though is often all the organic/outdoor stuff gets farmed up here – then sent 100 miles to feed Londoners – who pay more for it! There is a 350 acre organic farm near me and its entire produce all goes to London!

Indeed when my kids are growing up they’re going to eat a natural diet of what they evolved to eat, including meat and dairy. Being vegetarian should be a choice an adult makes, especially as growing kids need all the nutrition they can get. Besides It’s too much of a moral grey area to try enforce it on anyone else given that eating other things is the natural order, it’s not about objective truth for me just a choice of compassion for other conscious beings. I just happen to be one of the lucky people who actually has the choice due to growing up in a developed nation with a large range of alternatives on offer. The majority of the worlds population does not have that luxury.
