I'm a vegetarian. Have been since November 18, 2004. :)
I am a vegetarian :)
I'm a vegetarian. :)
I'm not a vegetarian, but I do eat much less meat and many more fruits and vegetables than I used to. Meat is more of a condiment for my meal. I know that isn't exactly what you ascribe to but I still believe it is beneficial for those of us who don't have a full out commitment to being a vegetarian.
I'm vegetarian too :)
used to be. I don't eat much meat though because I don't really like the way it tastes, I prefer tofu.
Actually, I am in the process of cutting most of the meat out of my diet, though more for health reasons than any real objection to eating animals. If anyone has any vegetarian recipes to share, they would be much appreciated! I wanted to post my recipe for vegetarian chili but I can't find it. >.<
I'm not.To be honest,it would be difficult for me to go veggie.
I'm a vegetarian but since my I'm mexican my family always eat that i try to find something else. Also since next week i'm going to Outdoor ED it's gonna be hard because they are eating Spam and it's gonna be hard i'll probably eat whatever they are handing out with Spam.
I'm a vegetarian who eats seafood; I'm a pescetarian.
I used to be a vegan, and my doctor advised against it. And because of health problems, she wanted me to start eating seafood. So, only for health reasons am I eating fish or any animal products.
However, I'm allergic to dairy and I don't eat eggs often at all. If it wasn't for the "having to eat fish" thing, I'd go back to being a vegan.
I am vegetarion too.
I am glad to see some Vegetarians on here, I own a Veg*n Commuity and I want to invite all the veg*ns to it www.VegCom.com
I'm a vegetarian. :)
I'm a vegetarian. You could call me semi-vegan. I used to be a full blown vegan, but I'll have to wait until I move out before I can do it again. =)
My sister is a veggie. She's not active at all, so she can get away with eating so little..but I couldn't. And meat is all we ever have to eat in my house.
Used to be a vegetarian. I am not but it is quite a rare event when I eat meat. I don't have anything against people who eat meat, I just prefer not to. Half because it's animals, but also because I naturally don't like meat.
No.
I like the idea for some reason. And I have a respect for those who follow vegitarianism.
Health food ideas have always appealed to me.
My family is really organic, fruity, nutty, and veggie, lol.
However, for myself personally, I have found that i truly feel better w/ some meat in my diet. :D
I'm a vegetarian. :) It's been 10 years already! :eek:
I have been a vegetarian for many years. No meat whatsoever; I do eat seafood sometimes. As for dairy products, I eat cheese and rarely ever eggs, but when I do it is only the whites, scrambled or hardboiled.
I always ate spinach with dinner just about every night, but now with the E-Coli scare I am unsure as to whether to take the chance on even the locally grown spinach . . . :eek: . . . I REALLY miss it in my diet! :(
They say you can have spinach safely IF you cook it.Quote:

Or you can use frozen spinach.
Nope, I am not vegetarian. I eat too much and too often to not have meat in my body. I eat like 7 times in a day, but every time I do, they are small meals. Plus, I love my burgers and pizza too much! :p
I am vegetarian and have been so for 6 years. I can truly say I've never felt better, physically and mentally :)

I am, once again, veggie.
I've been vegetarian for 20 years and can't imagine going back to being a meat eater. Although I changed my diet for ethical reasons, the health benefits have been great. Like Cataholic, I'm very active, work out with weights, cut down trees and drag boulders in my garden, etc. and don't feel any lack of energy or strength. If it wasn't for enjoying the occasional cake treat and a sprinkle of sheep's milk romano on my casseroles, I'd be vegan.

[/FONT]I heard that, too, and may have to resort to frozen (yuck!) unless I can muster the courage to try locally (NJ) grown . . . it was so convenient to buy a pre-packaged bag of baby spinach leaves and sprinkle them over my evening meal and then microwave for a few minutes. The frozen is so overcooked and watery. I am thinking of substituting maybe Kale, which is supposed to also be rich in nutrients. Thus far, the grocery stores are not even carrying any locally grown spinach. I had read in the newspaper that since NJ is one of the leading producers of spinach, the farmers were going to "test the waters" to see if they can sell any of their remaining crops, or have to plow under. Could be they decided that consumers are simply too scared to buy spinach, no matter WHERE it was grown. :(Quote:

I honestly don't think I could do it. I really don't like veggies all that much to begin with :o But I really like meat...so I don't think I could give it up for something I don't like much
