Is anyone here vegitarian?

I refuse to eat any helpless defensless plant. Vegitables are the most innocent things on this planet.

I am a carnitarian. Eat meat only. I eat only things that prey on those poor vegies. Like this terrible beast called a "cow" which slaughters billions upon billions of flora each year. I figure if we weren't supposed to eat them... then they wouldn't be made out of meat.

I'm a 3rd generation lacto-ovo (dairy/eggs) vegetarian and my daughter will be the 4th... I have traveled around the world and have lived in or visited many third world countries and have never gone hungry. Being a vegetarian, or at least a lacto-ovo one is pretty easy, but being a vegan requires a whole lot more planning.

Oh and I'm not some hippy-dippy, tree hugger either :haha:

I have been a vegetarian-vegan for about 20 years off and on. I was vegan for a number of years, but when I became pregnant with my son, I suddenly craved meat and ice cream. Then I became vegetarian. Then I started lifting weights and so i started eating egg whites, some fish, and chicken breasts. I don't use dairy products. I'd be vegan except for my need for lots of protein due to lifting weights.

You may chose not to eat meat of any kind and that is fine.

But If you eat fruits, nuts, and berries
your not a real vegetarian.

A true vegetarian eats nothing but vegetables and nothing else.

I haven't touched a dairy product (knowingly-they sneak dairy into a LOT of foods) for over 3 years and softdrinks for over 2 years. I eat Buffalo when I do eat meat (not very often--its grass fed) and have been known to sneak a little pork out of the crockpot (come on, sauerkraut and pork!!), and I do eat chicken (on occasion). I could be a Vegan, because I have gone for a week or more without eating meat.

I'd read several sources that claim vegetarians don't live as long as omnivores.

I believe techinically any portion of a plant you eat is a vegetable. And of
course, tomatoes, peppers, and squash are technically fruits - the fruit being
the part of the plant containing the seeds. The tomato is a type of berry.
And just to add to the confusion, I think almonds and peanuts and hmm,
cashews? aren't botanically nuts.

Most people would also call grain-eaters (such as cows) vegetarians.
