are you a vegetarian or non vegetarian?

I am a vegetarian due to being brought up with this lifestyle. Both my parents have been vegetarian and over the years I have come to see why this choice is a good one. I don't object to people eating meat but I do feel sad thinking about all the animals that were slaughtered to provide food for people. There doesn't seem to be many vegetarians where I live so I am interested to see how many vegetarians reply to this discussion.

I am not a vegetarian but I still eat vegetables. I love vegetables except bitter gourd, obviously because of it's bitter taste. I love to eat veggies because I know they are good for our health. I don't know how vegetarians are able to resist meat and fish but anyway I admire them for their discipline and self-control. I know their reasons I respect that. But I just can't give up meat and others not being eaten by vegetarians.

I became a vegetarian when I was four years old. Then I gradually became a vegan. Now I am a vegan person. I eat lots of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds plus I drink soy. I am vegan to health reasons as well as ethical reasons. It is an individuals choice what sort of diet he or she chooses I think. Every year there is a large vegan event in a city twenty miles away from my home. I will go to it this year and buy lots of vegan goodies.

It is for you to decide whether you want to eat or not. For me, i am a vegetarian.

I am omnivorous. how people choose to eat is right for them. sometime being omnivorous is a necessity.

i am non vegetarian but i think ill become one soonish as i dont like animals getting hurt and the like.. i really respect people who is vegetarian for their big will, and nowadays i try not to eat meat a lot, so i guess is a good start!

How can we ever decide what's "right" or "wrong"? Just a philosophical side-note. . I am a vegetarian and have been since I was 12 (I will be 20 in about 2 months). To me, this feels right to me. I almost feel ready to take the next step..And go completely vegan. But I'm not quite there yet and I can't decide if that's going to be a "right" decision.

i can eat anything as long as its food so it can be vegetables or non veg. im not really choosy when it comes to food as long as its not exotic like food from snake, frog nor anything that is nor ordinary nor normal food for me.

I couldn't be a vegetarian. When someone has to work hard physically it's a stupid thing to be a vegetarian. I noticed that I like more vegetables instead of meat but when I go to a trip in the countryside and walk a lot, I need some proteins to restore. So to be a vegetarian or non vegetarian depends on how much energy you need. If you stay most of the time in bed doing no exercise, you can be a vegetarian! So it depends on the life style. On the other hand, to eat little vegetables is not a healthy habit. I think a balanced diet is the best way.

Im not a vegitarian, im having a hard time eating vegies and fruits i only choose what can i eat..

i think its ok.. but much better if you remain vege.. Still there are may things that you can get from non-vege that is very helpful to our body,..

Me too.

Why did you decide to change your diet? I have been vegetarian for 27 years and see no reasons to change to eating meat again. I think a vegetarian diet is healthier and better for the environment and the planet too. Of course the final decision is an individual one.

well same thing is happened with me coz my husband is non veg. so I had to start eating non veg but I can eat only chicken I dont like the smell of all sea foods.

hi ,i am non veg ,i stopped eating it and i am vegetarian from 4 years ,doest it make any difference.But for me i feel very happy for i changed my diet.

I'm not a vegetarian. I eat anything I want :D I think in your case its just right. After all its up to you what you want to eat. Just enjoy eating.

if you've been vegetarian due to health problems, ofcourse it's not right. otherwise, one thing to consider is that eating high amounts of red meat is unhealthy for anyone. turkey and fish on the other hand have benefits ;)
