A survey to see what degree of us are vegetarians, vegans, etc... Probably not many since we're mostly guys and statistically there seem to be fewer male vegetarians...

Omnivore 4 life

Fruitarian (only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant)


hahah some people are really insane.

I eat anything. But I love cooking vegetarian food and am considering vegetarianism when I move house.

It's been a long time since I purchased meat.  If a meat dish is prepared at my house, I'm generally willing to try it.  When available, I lean towards vegetarian and vegan dishes (There are two vegans in my house).

In discussions, I encourage people towards vegetarianism and veganism (I think a lot of the reasoning against those choices is weak).

i was typing a really long post defending meat eating and how we are omnivores and stuff about proteins and children blabla but i can't really bother cause i just know some fag will come along claiming all the studies are funded by livestock owners etc and i would have to find more source material and in respond get source material written by Paul McCartney blablaaaa so ill just say that vegetarians aren't necessarily healthier and people should be able to eat whatever they want.

I'm a vegetarian and lactose intolerant ! I AM SO COOL.

The best reason to eat meat is that it's delicious. The other reasons are pretty weak -- let's not kid ourselves.

Having said that, the only meat I eat frequently is fish, since I started cooking for myself. This habit of eating came about just because meat is expensive and requires technical ability to cook well.

When visiting my parents or eating out, I often eat meat happily. But in general I feel healthier on a less meaty diet.

A few of my friends are vegetarians, and i'm about to move in with a vegetarian housemate, so I'm considering expanding my repertoire of vegetarian cuisine and eating even less meat. Fish is ok though. They're ugly.

I'm an omnivore, like I'm supposed to be.

I'm semi-vegetarian. I'll eat mostly vegetarian, but I like dairy and the occasional shrimp, and lately very occasional poultry if it's made at my house.
Other than that, I like fruits and things much more.

Plus my dentist made it absolutely difficult for me to even think about eating meat, he pulled my incisor teeth a few years back and it progressively got not worth it for me to eat it, it made me sick and was a pain to chew.

OmNomNomnimore

I eat mainly fish and vegan stuff. And beef. I'm omnivorial, but I try to cut back on meat. Save the planet and stuff. But humans are supposed to eat meat. We would starve if we didn't. Not enough plants for all the animals. And yes, humans are animals.

im the only vegan D:

being semi vegetarian just means you wanna be able to say your a vegetarian and look like your oh so fucking special and care about things but still eat meat

plus not eating meat just seems really stupid to me

i eat alot of meat also

People are natively omnivores, changing an animal's diet is not generally a good idea. Granted though, with supplements vegetarianism can be very healthy, but eating everything with moderation is the best possible diet.

I have zero allergies and I'm never sick.

exactly

But we're not living in hunter-gatherer times any more and people should be able to eat whatever they like IMO. Might be moving in with a lactose intolerant (and i love italian food and making italian food!) so it looks like i'm gonna have to look into substitutes.

That we should avail of technology and knowledge in all areas of our modern lives except for when it comes to our diet -- something central to our health and survival -- is ridiculous.

I'd say that probably half the people who declare that it's unhealthy to cut meat out from their diet have incredibly unhealthy diets in all other areas, gorging on foods that are completely unnecessary in a human diet, and which our ancestors certainly didn't have.

At least it can be said for most vegetarians that they have a wide variety of the good stuff (stuff that our ancestors would have been glad to eat if only it were so easy to find as it is today, in our world of international trade and advanced farming methods), and that it's not hard for them to get the supplements for what's missing in a meatless diet.
