Are you a vegetarian?

I became vegetarian years ago simply because I love animals and the thought of them being killed horrifies me. There is no humane way to kill animals no matter what people say, a life is a life annd I don't think we have the right to take any life..plus the fact I was told by someone whose son worked in a hospital x-ray sept that much is hidden from the public just what animal protein does to our bodies, it took him only days of seeing xrays for he himself to give up meat...

Hi red, I wouldn't consider to become vegetarian. Although we know the health benefits we could get from eating veggies I still think that I would not become one. Balanced diet is better than just sticking to one type of food. However, if I were placed in your mom's situation, I would take the advise of my doctor too. I have heard an old colleague talking to another old staff while we're in our company shuttle, that he he had some health problems too and was advised to eat some veggies too. Since then he said he was feeling a lot more better.

Hi red_amelthyst, I'm really glad to learn that your mother is healthy now. I do hear many cases like your mother to regain health after taking natural and nutritious organic vegetables and foods. I was once a vegetarian for six years or so. On account of certain reasons due to health purpose I was advised to take meat in every two other day. I still insist to take only vegetarian food twice in a month Have a nice day and happy posting

I will never ever become a vegetarian because i hate eating them!! haha They are the most boring and tasteless food i've come across and there's no way i will eat only them, throughout my life. Even without vegetables in my past 20+ years, i'm still as healthy as ever. In fact i'm much healthier than people who eats them. Imagine me being a smoker, i've not seen a doctor for the last 8 years and i have no major illness, and my physical condition is fantastic.. haha. So why the need to eat vegetables?

Me? Personally I won't thought myself to become one. I still like meats, beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and many more. I just can't give up all that delicious cuisines, and fall for vegetable only. A friend of mine once want to be a vegetarian, but ultimately he decided to go back to a meat eater again.

Nope, I am not vegetarian and I have no plan of becoming one.. I just will try to keep my foods balance. Not too much, not too less, and with various kind of foods. Meats, fishes, and eggs are healthy food, anyway.. So I don't bother to eat it..

i am pure vegetarian. veg food is alway good to have.

I am not a vegetarian. Although I like eating vegetables and I can eat a lot of them. However, I also like to eat meats. In fact I prefer to have a balanced diet rather than being a total vegetarian. Namely more vegetables and less meats will be healthier. Since the meats can still give us nutritions we need. I love China

I had turned vegetarian many years ago but then I went to stay in a hostel where I was not getting vegetarian food and so had to start eating non vegetarian food again. Have not intentions of changing to a vegetarian just yet.

hi Red Amethyst, My community is arya Vysya,so we are pure vegetarians,but now a days even Arya vysyas and Brahmins also eating non vegetarian secretly and some are publicly,but i too eat eggs not intentionally, if avaialble i can eat egg,but i have not purchased any egg related curries till now, if it is in party some one order, i share egg item with them only, have a nice day

i am not a vegetarian but i love eating vegetables. personally i am an omnivore. i think it would be boring to be eating vegetables solely. i can't miss out eating meat hmm maybe thrice or twice a week.

Hello red_: I am a vegetarian by cultural context. But then, there are many who like me here in my country whose basic lifestyle/belief at home is vegetarian. However, a large number of such traditional vegetarians do eat meat outside their house and some who have changed from their beliefs do even cook at home. But what I find paradoxical is that while traditional meat eaters are finding virtue in changing life style to vegetarianism all over the world, some back home fancy regular meat eating as a notion of more stronger food than vegetarian. I have shared with many people, articles or resources that talk about the virtues of vegetarianism in an objective manner and I do again hoping there is good educational value for members who may find this resource: [No affiliate links] http://www.euroveg.eu/lang/en/about/about.php http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/poll.htm I can share more, for those interested.

eating well plays an important part in maintaining good health plenty of fruits and vegetables, some meat, fish, eggs , beans and non diary sources of protein, just a small amount of foods high in fat and sugar. I'm not really a vegetarian but i prefer to eat vegetables than meat. Simply because some people live eating only vegetables which can help a lot. Vegetarian around the world have lot believed that a vegetarian diet is a healthier choice than a meat based one.

I'am not a vegeterian and i don't prefer to be one. I like eating meat, fish, chicken and other things. I think that i love them very much and i can't live without those things.

I am pure vegetarian.. Most of Gujju(India) people are vegetarian only.. We are vegetarian since born.. so there is nothing new in it.. I sometimes think how can people eat non-veg.. but it's matter of taste :-) I never ever eat eggs either..

No, I'm not a vegetarian. It's not really something that I plan on becoming. At least, not at the moment. Who knows? It could happen, but for the time being, it's not something that I think will happen for sure. Not for me, at any rate.

Wow, after hearing your mother's story, I think I am convinced to try that kind of diet. However, in the place where I live seldom can I find restaurants selling vegetarian food. Vegetables are usually mixed with meat. Preparing it myself would be nice but then again I know how hard it is and the time you need to prepare vegetarian food.

It's been 12 years since I am a vegetarian, I used to eat chicken, Mutton, fish and egg before but gradually, I felt that I didn't like the test and that's why I stopped eating these things. I like to eat rice with daal and I love it so much that I stopped eating non-veg completely, I don't like spicy food and therefore, I always prefer vegetarian food that is not spicy.

I do eat vegetable but I am not a real vegetarian. I wanted to become one but it's hard to teach myself because I still crave for meat and fish. Being a vegetarian is very much healthy. What matters to me now is I am able to balance the food I take. Everyday I eat vegetable, little by little everyday is a good way still to maintain good health.

I wouldn't like to be a vegetarian but Iam happy that it is working for your mum. Wish her well with the diet. If you don't mind what was the diagnosis of your mum?
