I love eating vegetables...when i was still a kid, i hate eating vegetables, but when our teacher told us that eating vegetables is healthy, i did change my mind and follow what our teacher told us...since then, i would love eating more vegetables rather than meat...
There are lots of benefits when you eat vegetables...although, i eat meat too but not really, it's always vegetables on my menu...you would gain no cholesterol when you eat veggies...that's why i always stay slim...meat makes you fat, and too much meat will cause you heart attacks, hypertension, lots of cholesterol, high blood, and other bad stuffs...so i would always be a vegetarian...
Do you love eating vegetables too? Are you a vegetarian?

Never have I even considered going that route. Don't get me wrong, I have a healthy portion of vegetables regularly in what I eat, I love my vitamins, but I love the taste of well-cooked meat too much to ever give that up, particularly fish and chicken.
Also, every now and then I just have to have a massive steak. It's like a moral imperative for me.

Though I don't eat very much meat, I eat some. I am not a vegetarian but I do love all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Now if only I could get my 6 year old daughter feel the same way! She would live on peanut butter and jelly if we would let her. Which we obviously won't!

I like eating vegetables- but not only it. I want the vegetables mixed with sea foods or meats. I can't survive with vegetables only. I want variety in food.

I am not a vegetarian, I do enjoy meat, but unfortunately meat just does not seem to be agreeing with me anymore, which I am really upset about. I can no longer eat lamb and pork, so I reckon before too long I will not be able to eat any meat. I do not mind vegetables, but I am not a big fan of them, I just find them boring, but I do not know many vegetable recipes to do to try them out.

I've been a vegetarian for 12 years now. At first, I quit eating beef and pork for the health benefits. I lost quite a bit of weight and felt so much better. Then I quit eating fish a couple years later. I'm what they call a lacto-ovo vegetarian meaning I eat dairy and eggs. I actually eat very little dairy since you can buy so many alternative products - soy milk, tofu sour cream, etc. I think my health is greatly improved, I've saved so many animals, and I feel like I'm doing my part to better our world. If you're going to be truely vegetarian though, you can't eat ONLY vegetables. Your body still needs protein and other nutrients from grains and beans and the sort to function and be healthy. If you'd like more information on vegetarianism, please let me know!

I am not a vegetarian. During my childhood I hated vegetables but now I learned to enjoy it and since I am older I know now why my mom pushes me to eat veggies when I was a kid. I have kids and trying to introduce them to veggies. :)

I am an omnivore, that is I like eating vegetables and meats all mixed up together. I like mainly salads, and casseroles, and spaghetti and meatballs, with salads and I do have vegetables as sides, but mostly Italian and Chinese vegetables. plus peas and beans. I think that you have to be careful to balance what you eat, that you can eat meat but not too much of it, no big steaks, etc. but some chicken and beef but in stews and cassseroles that contain lots of vegetables.

I love eat vegetable but i'm not a vegetarian. When i was child i like to eat vegetable but when i was grow. I learn that farmer use too much poison to kill insect and save their vegetable for sale. Because of this insect poison lot of people get infected. Then i reduce eating vegetables. After month later, i think back again, people eat vegetable to get healty especialy vitamin C. Then, until now again i love vegetable because vegetable make people healty. I'm just buy the fresh one.

I tried to be once. I was a vegetarian for a month, at first it was so hard because Im so used to having meat in my meal. I just gave up with the diet because I can't help it, my brothers eat meat and I was there punishing myself with vegetables. I just read that meat are good to our diet but never include the meat skin or fats in it. Because it has all bad stuff that gives us hypertension and all that kind of illness

I do like vegetables and eat quite a lot of vegetarian products too, but I'm not a vegetarian. My boyfriend is a vegetarian, not because he hates the taste or texture of meat products - quite the opposite really - but hates the idea of animals being slaughtered in order to keep him alive. I admire his principles but I couldn't be a vegetarian because I love fish and seafood too much to give it up. I don't eat red meat, only chicken, fish, and seafood.
