Although I have tried to be vegetarian, it never works out for me in the long term, but I do eat vegetarian maybe 2 or 3x per week. I don't usually set out to do it, but sometime it just turns out that way. I think being vegetarian is generally healthier, cheaper and better for the environment, so I am all for it. Are you like me, a partial, accidental vegetarian, or do you do it on purpose?

There is a difference between being a vegetarian and a vegan. Most vegetarians eat milk and egg products. Veganism is a subset of vegetarianism. Some also just have milk and not eggs.

@Kandae11 Yes, you are close. I think you are more than a Flexitarian who consciously tries to eat less meat.

@rakski Well when I am eating vegetarian I allow myself everything other than meat and fish.

I am sure meat is fine in moderation.Processed meat is not so good though.

@much2say That would be hard to do. That would be like a burger per week..or small steak. However, maybe not that bad.. I eat more chicken or fish usually.

Yes, I think most of us would do well to cut down on our meat consumption.

@snowy22315 I think they say you should only have beef the size of a deck of cards per week - not any more than that.

The processed veg stuff isn't too good for you. However, it can still lower cholesterol.

I will never turn vegetarian, but we often eat vegetarian. Like you we are partial accidental vegetarian. We usually eat past for lunch and fruits. At noon I think we eat vegetarian all the time. In the evening it depends, but it happens, a vegetable curry, savory crepes filled with mushrooms, hummus, breaded eggplants. Vegan never, I like to have eggs and cheese.

Some vegan foods are really very good, but I wouldn't want them all the time.

Most men seem to be attached to meat. I do love most of it..but I will often make or look for veggie dishes.

I would like to eat more vegetarian dishes; but I'd have to hire a chef to cook for me. Have a good day.

I eat vegetable because it's what I crave for at the moment, but am very choosy as to the kinds I eat. Most are salads or made into spring roll.

@snowy22315 Especially when you put some ground peanuts.

I go meatless probably two out of the seven days of the week, but it’s just because I don’t want any (I recently gave up all beef though). I could easily be a pescatarian, and only eat fish, if I had the money. I prefer fish as my only “meat”.
