In my family everybody is a non vegetarian. When i was young, my mother used to forcibly make me eat non vegetarian food but i always felt that when there are so many fruits and vegetables available, why do we have to kill an animal. So now i am a vegetarian. What about you - are you a vegetarian or a non vegetarian?

I'm not a vegetarian, couldn't live without meat, sorry! My boyfriend is a veggie though, however he's not one because of the fact that he doesn't like killing animals. He is one because his parents are vegetarian and therefore he hasn't been brought up with meat.

Your boyfriend is a vegetarian, Then it must be difficult for you to select the menu when you go out for dinner or lunch together.

It's not too bad. He's not against me eating meat and also he does eat fish, so that solves a lot of problems. And I quite like vegetarian food anyway, so it's not too difficult.

I am vegetarian though I wasn't raised that way. I also feel there are too many animals raised and killed just for people to eat when there are plenty of other foods to have instead. Being vegetarian is better for animals, better for the environment, and better for people's health.

I am not a vegetarian. I do sometimes eat meals without meat, but for the most part I eat meat every day. I was raised in a family of meat eaters, so that is what I learned to enjoy.

I am non vegetarian atleast weekly once we will have non vegetarian at home, in our family every body will eat non vegetarians, please be informed that God has given few animals to ut so that we can kill and eat not all the ones but just the few. Nice to know that you are vegetarian , you will not have cholestrol or heart problems.

I am a Pure Vegetarian, even i don't take eggs.. believe it, thats true.. Personally i don't like the non-veg foods, as it is against the tradition and practice of my family.. Inflicting pain on other beings .. its against my motto.. "Help ever, Hurt never" Take care friend.

i always admire people who are vegetarian. for meat lover like me, it's really hard to go vegetarian. the lack of choices also doesn't help. i've ever tried to be a vegetarian for a month. the change is really refreshing and i get to try food i would not have otherwise tried. but the whole month was spent traipsing around the island looking for vegetarian food. it's really hard to get vegetarian food around this part of the world. it's even harder to get nice tasting vegetarian food. i hope i can become a full fledged vegetarian one day. give me the strength and support please.

Hi, at least somebody is like me (having the same combination of self being vegetarian and family non vegetarian) but i dont have a problem with anybody sitting next to me and having non veg.That's probably because my sense of smell is not too sharp.
