Hi friends how are you. Iam a non vegetarian. I like non vegetarian foods very much.Non vegetarian foods are rich in protien of high biological value and in vit B complex, especially B12 which is not availabe in plant foods.Fish is especially the small varieties are a rich source of calcium. Egg white is good source of protein and easily digested. Egg white and most varieties of fish contain less fat, but are rich in protein, vitamins and minerals.Did you vegetarian or non-vegetarian?

Meat and egg and dairy are not full of the nutrients you're talking about, and the dairy and meat boards want to keep us misinformed as they've done for years. They are loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol and contribute to an alarming number of diseases.
No, I do not eat meat.

Hello. I am not a vegetarian. However I only eat chicken,turkey, and fish. Pork and Beef are not one of my favorite. In addition beef does not agree with my stomach. Sometime I can go for a couple of days with out meat.

I'm a non vegetarian but most of my family is vegetarian. I like both ways of eating. I think it might be healthier to be a vegetarian if you choose the right foods. My fiancee doesn't want to be a vegetarian so I just eat what he eats.

i am a non vegetarian and i don't plan to be a vegetarian ever... i believe in balanced diet and you can't get that just by eating vegetables all the time... we need meat as a source of protein for our body and we can't get enough protein if we didn't eat meat... so i always try my best to keep a balanced diet to keep me healthy... take care and have a nice day...

I am a part-time vegetarian. I do eat dairy products and on occasion I buy fish to eat. I avoid red meat and especially pork. I think it's important to have balanced diet. I think that many people eat far too much meat. Eating too much meat is bad for your health and bad for the environment.

I am an omnivore. Give me a rare steak, a big salad and I'm pretty happy.

good day. I both like meat and vegetables so I guess I'm a vegetarian and non-vegetarian at the same time. I believe as well as most nutritionist that we need both meat and vegetables to sustain a healthy physiology.

I think I am somewhere in between. In general I have cut out red meat and sodas. I try to eat more white meat and fish. Also more fruits and vegies. As for drinks, water and juices. But I find it hard at times to find good food at affordable prices and laps into buying food that maybe tasty but with little or no nutritional value. Still life goes on!

i am non-vegetarian, i eat different kinds of meat, but not all of them. i like chiken the most. i love meat, because it's delicious, but yet, i can understand vegetarians why dont they eat meat.
DID YOU KNOW that some vegetarians eat fish too because they say that fish are sea fruits and not meat!!! :D i laughed so hard when i heard this!

i often eat meats,, i started not to eat much non vegetables when my professor told us that there will be less percent of nutrients will be obtained by us.. for example ther energy from the sun, plants use the solar energy to the process of photosynthesis by which 100% solar energy will turn to 10% if plants have used it,, when animals eat plants that 10% will decrease to 1% then if we eat animals that 1% will decrease again to .1%.. so if you want to be haelthy eat more veggies than non veggies,,,

I'd go insane if I were a vegetarian. I like vegetables, but not enough to live on a strictly meat-free diet. There's no good substitute for a nice juicy chicken thigh, and a deliciously tender cut of steak. I'm most definitely true to my omnivorous roots.

When I was vegetarian, I would eat high protein
beans and high mineral/vitamin rich fruits and
vegetables. Now, I eat lots of chicken and rice
and veggies and am living fine without hormone loaded
beef products in my life!

Well it is pretty hard to be a vegie in this household because my partner loves his meat too much and the smell of it sometimes is so nice I can not help it. I do like to eat other varieties of protein as well. I know that most beans also contain protein as well. I think lentils contain some too and are very good for you too. I think it is all fine as long as it is lean and healthy. Otherwise you could be just a walking time bomb if no consideration is made to your health. I do like seafood too but my partner loves his red meat and chicken. We buy a lot of eggs from the egg farm too as he can never get enough of them.

I am not one but have thought about trying it out to lose weight . There is this raw diet out there that I want to check out and they even say it is good for you . I would have to look into it more though.

Eat more maigre food could be better for people's health,but I don't want to be a vegetarian because I can resist the temptation of meat.A healthly diet should be reasonable with the variety of food.I should respect vegetarians'eating habit but I have to say frankly meat's taste should be better than vegetable.
