Any Vegetarians?

[BabyPiglet]

first of all i gotta say....what's with everyone bashing this girl because she wants to go veg.
what is with all the "you're not going to make a difference just because you want to be a vegitarian" etc etc.


going veg isn't really about making a difference, because we all know that even if WE don't eat the meat doesn't mean they won't still kill the animals anyway...but it's about standing up for what you beleive in and living a lifestyle that you can feel morally good about.

that being said, i'm a fairweather veg.
i went full vegan in grade 9, but i got really sick and lost alot of weight because i wasn't taking my protein pills and i wasn't getting enough nutrients.
now i try to eat vegetarian as much as possible, but i do eat meat every once and a while.

i love tuna, i couldn't live without tuna though.


my advice to the OP about going veg;
GET YOUR PROTEIN!!!!

and enjoy all your veggie meals.

I never bashed her. I presented her with the facts.

And then applauded her because she still wanted to do what she thought was right.

Hi y'all, I don't normally wander over to the teen board but when I saw this thread I needed to post. I've been a vegetarian for about 6 months. Ish. I decidced to 'cause I love animals, plain and simple. I enjoy Boca Burgers, they're yummy. I guess I'm not a TRUE vegetarian because I eat clams and the like, but clams and the like are dumb. It would be like eating a worm, you know? They wouldn't really notice. But if you look on the PETA website, animals really do have feelings. I am not, however, a vegan. That is not something I would be able to do. Life without cheese and ice cream? No. Life without meat? Absolutely.

A. Clam. Is. Stupid?

 

[BabyPiglet]

Whoa.

I found that kind of shallow. You just said animals have feelings, then you say it'd be fine to eat a clam.

You must not care too much?

 

[Sparkle_Cherry]

Oh, Please. Grow up and stop bashing people's meat consumption. For some people it's their values, so you might as well be bashing their religion. Furthermore, this isn't a discussion thread on ''are you pro or con vegetarian?'', it's a thread where vegetarians can meet and discuss. Everyone is entitled to post, just grab a brain before pressing submit.

That being said, I have been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for almost 2 years. I hate vegetables though. Don't think that that's all we eat. I don't think that omnivores solely eat meat, do I?

Jenny, I consider you a good friend that I can confide in. However, on several threads lately I have seen you bash people's opinions, and state what you say you KNOW is right, without considering that someone else might be right. I'm telling you as a friend that I'm not impressed with this, and if things aren't going well for you, you're always free to PM me and talk. You know that, Jenny

Actually I am not free to PM you. My PM's and Sig. have been taken away.

And I've apologized for my earlier actions. I made a whole thread about it.

As for this thread, I never bashed her, or I didn't mean to. I said that it's not going to change anything. But later I said that what she was doing was great, that she was doing something she believed in.

 

[kristygirl]

and by the way if you're a vegetarian for the right resons you should not eat sea "food" just sayin

 

[BabyPiglet]

Huh?

That's awesome. I haven't tried Boca Burgers yet. But soon I will. But clams aren't stupid, they're alive too you know.

Thank you!

And to Jenny, I didn't feel bashed by you. Thanks for sticking around and listening to my point of view and being understanding.

And to whoever said I was 'bashing meat consumption' I most certainly was not.

You're welcome.

People have told me time and time again that I can't change the foster care system. Little old me won't make a dent they've said. But I still believe I am going to change something.

Don't ever give up on what you believe in, even if others say it's stupid.

 

[pigletgirl]

I could never be a vegetarian 100% of the time, but I also don't mind not eating meet sometimes at meals. So I'm half and half.

Oh, I'm sorry Jenny. Only the last paragraph was directed towards you. That sucks about some of your priviliges being taken away, how did that happen?

Anyways, I must have missed your apology. Sorry if I came off as rude, I was only trying to help. And by all means, feel free to tell me when I'm being witchy. I know that I can be.

Apparently one of the mods thought I was getting to snippy with someone on the "are you aware" thread. And I already have 30 points for something stupid, which came up to 50. And that's when you get your PM's and sig taken away.

I know you weren't trying to be rude. *hugs*

I am not a vegetarian. Nor could I ever be one. I need meat in my diet. I need it for sports. Without it, I wouldn't have enough protein to function. And giving up dairy is a big no no for me. I drink at least 8 glasses of milk a day. I live off of milk basically.

I agree, I don't eat seafood. But I still eat eggs and drink milk.

I guess I wasn't around for that thread either. I hope your points expire soon.

And I'm glad that you know what I meant

I do intensive sports four days a week, and I have an exercise program that I do every night. I would say that I get my protein well enough to function, even with me being a vegetarian.

Um, congrats? Unlike you, I need meat to function. If I don't eat some kind of meat before practice, I literally break down during practice. I need meat.

I dont think you would if you ate the right kinds of fruit and vegies... It's a complex process to combine the right ones to get enough protein

 

[Sparkle_Cherry]

I'll bet that if you ate rice and beans together before practice, you wouldn't break down. Rice and beans combined create a complete protein, which is also found in meats.

i don't think it's meat you need, it's protein.
which you can get from alot of other things.


no flames though, totally understand if you want to eat meat to get energy.

I'm a vegetarian.
