Have you tried to be a vegetarian or vegan or are you one?

@snowy22315 I was veggy for a year once and have tried again but failed. Ideally I’d be vegan - not going to happen.

Yes we are mostly vegetarians. We do once in a while eat something like smoked salmon. I love locally made sausage- don't eat it often. The question for me is this: why is a soft cow or its calf okay to eat but not a soft cat or dog? Why is one butchered and not the other? Their sacrifice is my pleasure.

I tried it for awhile years ago, but I needed a better way to get protein.

I have given up eating meat and fish for well over 5 years now

I could probably cope with being a vegetarian but not vegan. Vince likes his meat too much and I'm not keen enough to be bothered with going vegie head alone.

In my limited opinion every vegetarian I've ever met has looked pale and frail. I will never be one as I don't like veggies that much.

I eat less meat now than when I was young for several reasons. But I would never become a vegetarian and much less a vegan. I do believe in eating reasonable servings of everything though.

The best I could do is eat vegetarian dishes at times . . . that's as far as it ever went . I admittedly love my meats. However, these days we just try to eat "less meat" and include more variety of vegetables.

I have never tried to become one. My son did for a year. He said that he felt great and he lost some weight. In the end he missed the meat.

I did it for about a month and gave in eventually

I have been fully vegetarian and semi vegetarian since 2005. Two of the main benefits l have noticed: -- No colds or flu since 2005 and my weight remains between 110 and 115 lbs. And l have no cravings - my meals are all very tasty.

I have been a vegetarian since I was 13 years old. I didn't even know that there were other vegetarians at that time, and everyone thought I was doing a strange thing.

I have been a vegetarian for most of my life. It isn't hard and you don't feel these 'cravings' if you go slow, create your own dishes based on your taste you succeed.

I am vegetarian.

Definitely not, I like meat too much.

I will never try to be a vegetarian or vegan. I just can't.

I won't completely give up meat and for me right now ordering groceries once a month I cannot always get fresh veggies so frozen ones and canned have to do,

I have been a vegetarian all my life and prefer eggless cakes etc. That helps me not to crave for meat, fish, and such.

Hey snowy, I’m Carnivore mixed with veg (90% of my diet) and then sometimes I throw in some potatoes + organic dairy. So like Carnivegetarian

I am currently a vegan. It has been the case for almost 23 years. It all depends on your mind . If you have strong will power , yes you can make a decision not to have any meat . I do have my lunch and dinner with people who have chicken salads or any other meat items. I feel it is ok and not to have them. Besides when you decide to embrace something we should be happily doing it and not forcing ourselves onto it. If you feel you are unable to do it , you could cut down on the meat consumption slowly and increase the vegetarian quotient of the food. That is also a good way to be healthier. Good luck!
