Do you eat meat?

[QueenScoopalot]

I stopped eating red meat 25 years or so ago, and chicken was soon to follow. I was stuck behind one of the old time chicken trucks years ago, in swealtering heat on a highway. I thought 'if there's so many dead ones on the outside hanging out of crates, how many inside are dead'? And stopped that day. Seafood I haven't given up, but eat it in moderation.

I live on meat and couldn't live without it. Best food to me is a thick, dripping juicy steak.. Mmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it..

Seriously though, I tried eating no meat, and that lasted about 2 weeks. I just love my meat too much

[Flatcoatluver]

nope I am a vegetarion.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

I do, but I don't really like it. I used to up until a year or two ago, now meat just tastes absolutely awful to me. I do like chicken depending on how its cooked, some types of fish and some pork also depending on how its cooked.

No, I have been a vegetarian for a few years now.

I've been a vegetarian for about 1 1/2 years now. Best decision I ever made ... I am so much healthier now

I've been a vegetarian for 6 years, since I was 8 years old. I started young you wouldn't believe how much my family tried to persuade me to eat meat again, but I defyed them all I just can't make myself eat an animal.

Yup I eat meat and have no problem doing it. We have our pigs and steer raised for meat so at least while they are alive they have a great life and are never put through the abuses of commercially raised animals. I don't feel guilty about eating meat at all, but I do feel horrid for the way commercial animals are treated before slaugther and there should be an end to that.

Yep, I eat meat. I love a good steak. I eat pork, chicken, beef, and fish. I'm not to crazy about fish, though I will eat catfish.

I will always be a meat lover, and personally I feel sorry for people that don't eat meat. Ya'll have no I dea what yer missin out on.

Most vegetarians/vegans do know what meat is like, we weren't born vegetarian and most have sampled meat in our lives. For me, it's not just the fact that meat comes from dead animals, but I personally hate the way it flakes up in your mouth. Even though I've not eaten meat for 6 years, I still remember that. But some people do like meat and that's fine with me.

I remember when I announced to my family that I would become vegetarian, and I was 8 years old. At first, they didn't believe me, and thought it was just one of those phases that 8-year-olds go through. My dad said that I'd probably been watching too much Animal Hospital and had become soft towards animals. When I was still refusing meat 6 months later, they really tried to get me to eat meat again, at first saying 'the animal doesn't suffer' or the more harsh 'you won't grow properly without meat'. Believe me, it's not easy to be a veggie in a family of meat eaters. You wouldn't believe the pressure. Going to family parties, and having to delay the meals being served because you need a vegetarian meal. Not being able to take part in the family Sunday roast. It doesn't sound like much, but it is. But strangely, I became more determined to not eat meat. Now I can't imagine myself ever eating meat, and never get any 'hunger' for it.

I know that a lot of people say it's OK to eat pigs, cows etc, but I've always seen it like this: the cows/pigs etc all are alive, just like dogs/cats etc, so it shouldn't be right to kill and eat certain animals. A lot of people will disagree with that, but that is my own personal approach to this subject.

I must say Miss Z that no matter whether folks agree with you (or not), you are quite elegant in your prose. You are a VERY GOOD WRITER for a young lady of 14 years (if my math is right). If you didn't hint at your age, I would've thought you to be in your 30's.

Aw, thankyou

[JenBKR]

Yep I eat meat and I have no desire to change. My husband and father both hunt, so we eat venison. I also eat a good bit of chicken, fish, seafood, and others. I believe that God put animals on the earth for us to eat, as stated in the bible.

I do eat meat occasionally. I'm actually working towards becoming a vegetarian, my parents are completely against it though and can't understand why I wouldn't want to eat animals anymore. Soo, I'm hoping once I can get away from them and I go off to college I can finally do it and won't have to be questioned by them.
