Do you eat meat?

[lizzielou742]

OK so this could get a bit controversial and may end up getting moved to the Dog House, but let's try and not have that happen.

Do you eat meat?

I did all my life, but recently (this month) stopped. Then today I thought I'd like a BBQ chicken sandwich, and it tasted good, but after I ate it I nearly threw it back up. It made me sick and I'm not exactly sure why.

My only weakness is pepperoni on my pizza.

Anyone else?

OK I had one typo up there in the poll - should say 'Vegan,' not 'Began,' my bad!!!

I used to eat meat - juicy red meat, rare. But after going away to college, being to poor to purchase any, I can't eat it. I can eat fish - white fish that is light in texture and foul, but that is it. The rest makes me sick for days.

i like meat,but im most a vegetable person,rice,and pasta.Im not a big meat person but i love fish!!

Yes, I will admit to eating meet. I really enjoy chicken especially. I often think about begining a more vegetarian life, but I am at a loss as to how. I was brought up to consider a meal to be MEAT, starch (like potato) and vegetable. And this was the way to get ALL the nutrients for a healthy body. I am resistant to change so it is difficult to get the ball rolling.

I have eaten meat for so long that yes I do but I can't think about it...thats sounds wierd but my kids, ages 12 and 13 talk about what we are eating and how we shouldn't eat it and then it gets me thinking.....

I'm vegan and have been for over 2 years now. After some research one day I just made the switch and never looked back. I just made a tofu and spinach lasagne for dinner for my family last night. My Dad wasn't SUPER thrilled but he said it was "pretty good."

Lizzie, you probably got sick because your body has slowed its production of certain enzymes used to digest meat. If you are going to start eating meat again you should start with a small portion - not that I'm advocating that! What you experienced is pretty normal so please don't think something is wrong with you.

As always...if anyone has any questions about veganism or vegetarianism then feel free to PM me!

Yes, I'm very much a meat eater.

Thanks Kater! I haven't had any red meat in a long time (except the one night I broke down and had that pepperoni on my pizza). I had that BBQ chicken and while it did taste good, it seriously almost made me sick. It's really not been that hard for me to stay away from meat so far - it's been abotu 2 weeks. I do eat eggs, cheese and drink milk though - I doubt if I could ever give up dairy. Anyway, thanks for the support!

I don't eat beef or pork, with the exception of pepperoni (Justin justifies it by saying "it's not real meat", but we all know). I do eat chicken and fish. We both would like to give up meat all together, but there are very few vegetables that I like. As far as tofu goes, Justin is extremely allergic to soy, so that's out too.

I basically live on Chicken, with some Pork and very little red meat as I find it hard to digest, I am allergic to fish, I love my veges, but I don't think I could live on them alone, much as I would like to, I was raised on a farm where meat was ample, so its hard to give up.

I eat meat that tasts good lol basicly-beef, turkey, chicken, and some pork. but that it, I dont like lamb, or duck, or vension or anything like that so I dont eat it lol

[popcornbird]

I do eat meat........mainly chicken, fish, lamb, goat, beef, etc. I don't eat pork at all for religious reasons....and the meat that I do eat has to be from an animal slaughtered in a certain way (similar to Kosher). I can't imagine not eating meat. Its a part of my life...I guess.

I don't eat much meat now, but I used too.

I hope one day I can finally become a vegetarian. I just need to do some more research, and force myself to do it.

I use to just LOVE all meat (except seafood, yucky).

Its only been the past 3 years that I have started to turn my nose up to meat. & I think I know why too.

I've been living at Rob's parents place for the past 3 years & this is what we have for dinner.

partly cooked chicken, partly cooked chicken, partly cooked chicken, partly cooked chicken, partly cooked chicken,
giant saussages, giant saussages, giant saussages, giant saussages, giant saussages, giant saussages, giant saussages,

no veggies to only 1 mouthfull of veggies, but mostly none. 1 box of potatos for 5 people, maybe once every 3 weeks!!!! & more nothing & more nothing, yum!!!

I cannot digest pork, I've been like that for 10 years. Fatty foods just don't agree with my back end. So I avoid all pork except baccon & ribs.

But the past month I don't even want ribs
I only ate 1 pound of ribs for my b-day & I normally eat 2. & Rob's parents bought Ribs a few days back & I took one bite & my body refused to swallow it & it felt like my tummy was twisting so tight that it didn't want it either. But I ate french fries just fine.

I have been refussing to eat pretty much all meats this week. So I'm starting to get quite hungry, & I'm getting sick of eating peanut butter sandwiches all the time, several times aday, or for all meals.

My craving for veggies is getting really bad.
Almost every weekend we go downtown to a buddies place & we split a food bill 1/2 way. The past few months all we pick up is HUGE amounts of salade & I eat so much, so fast, that I almost get sick (barf wise, but I don't barf, but thats another story). I swear my tummy expands when ever I eat that much salade.

We'll buy 3 HUGE bags of the exotic salade mix (I swear there r dandy-lions in it hehehe), 1 bag is ment to feed a family of 4 & the 4 of us will eat all 3 bags of it & still want more, even tho were full.
