"Ancient Pagan" Switching to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet cured me of life-long chronic constipation, it also gave me more energy and added mental clarity. These advantages were increased when I became raw vegan. I like full-flavoured salads with sundried seaweed, organic greens, organic tomatos and avocado, chili pepper and a clove of red garlic. I also eat flax crackers, fruit-nut-carob fudge, cultured vegetables, sun-sweetened fuji apples, raw pizza crisps and a host of other delectables. Sure beats Lardblubber's Cancer Co. (i.e. McDonald's--McKillyerkidswith poisenedcrapald's...but even they've added a veggie burger so their one decade ahead of Burger King. Best not to be harsh!) PS: Can you tell I'm a sandal-wearing Californian New Age Neo-Hippie sympathizer? Ha-ha! 020511

Joana. The eerie side of being a vegetarian is when you get people trying to talk you into eating meat by making these starved faces whenever we walk past a butcher's house --- YEP, there's nothing more appetising than a couple of raw pig's ribs dripping blood onto the floor.
*Slurp*

Kate Last Saturday, at a sunny afternoon track meet.

Tiffany (walks by the grill, the scent filling the air): "I'm so glad I don't eat meat!"

Kate (next to her, joking, in a high pitched voice: "Could I please have a bun to eat? Maybe a slice of cheese, but only if it's lactose-free."

Tiffany (laughing): "Hey, I like eating just eating the bun and cheese!"

Kate (continuing, high voice): "Actually, I think I'll just eat some grass."

Tiffany (laughing): "Amy! Kate's making fun of me again!"


I'm a little sick of people being vegetarian or people who take massive vitamins.

Joana. It's silly to see vegetarians as some mad hypchondriacs -- people who feel somehow insulted by them usually have some sort of repressed guilty conscience about their own health. But then again, that's just an opinion from some 19 year-old who could be wiser herself. 020511
...
Kate Actually I'm quite healthy, both in my eating habits and my body, and I eat a balance of healthy food and hamburgers and junk food in moderation. I don't mind if people eat healthy and are vegetarians, but it bothers me when they make a big fuss about it or act condenscending if others are eating meat or whatever they don't eat. 020511
...
Joana. Well, I never act condescendingly with anyone who enjoys eating meat [it’s actually the other way around, since people usually get defensive when realising my eating habits].
But then again, I'm not a true vegetarian, since I eat fish. I do hate people who only abstain from meat because it's trendy or whatever.

"Ancient Pagan" As you might have noticed I'm a full-scale "total vegan" as some would term me. But merely for convenience I occaisonally eat some raw cheese and even (only if there's nothing else around) a bagel that has default dairy in it. My limited consumption of the aforementioned comes from gastronomical preference not from some fanatical reservation. When I gave up salt and suger my taste buds underwent a radical shift. Food is actually more enjoyable when you can taste it! It takes two days for the numbness from salt or suger to leave my tongue!

Anyway, I meant to quickly reach the point which is: food and its flavor is very cultural AND why do people offend Vegetarians by calling them rabbits, and what's wrong with wanting to cease killing innocent beings or stop supporting factory farming (see John Robbins DIET FOR A NEW AMERICA)?

If you do not choose to be vegetarian--so what? That's your choice! You are a fellow being, a fellow human, you are my brother or sister ::hugs brothers and sisters:: Our conciousness will not rise till we can love and accept diversity and difference. Is this not the message of Christ, Buddha & other Avatars of Divine Love?

This might all sound strange to some but "Ancient_Pagan comes from California!" as an acquaintance likes to say.

Jane Doe I tried to be one once because Fred told me how he once slaughtered a cow, and I couldn't take it. I'd say about a week later I missed the taste of bacon and steak and, yea... couldn't do it. For those of you that can do it, I applaud. 040104

J4n3 3/\/6L158 i am a vegetarian, and i have been one for about 6and a half years now, i do eat dairy products , so i am not vegan, but i don't wear leather, and i dont eat meat, this includes poultry and fish. I am not an animal rights activist, but i don't think we should be treating them badly. i am not pro-abortion, but i am pro-choice, i have gone to a christian school all my life, and i have been told repeatedly that being a vegetarian is a silly choice, God gave us animals to eat, why not eat them? my answer, i dont have to. i think of it as, the fact that, if i was any other life form, that i would prefer to live instead of die just so someone can live more comfortably. i realize that plants die too, and that they are...semi sentient but i cannot survive with out eating plants, but i can survive with out eating animals. so i do. 040313

zanna i'm a vegetarian, but would have no problem eating human flesh.

magicforest "I can't survive without eating plants, but I can survive without eating animals."

That is so genius. I am stealing that from you and using it as one of my various responses to the constant and derisively abrasive questions I get from meat-patriotic non-vegetarians, who, with their flaunting of their steak in my face trying to get me to squirm as they slap their stomachs as say, "I love mah meat!" and look at me like I'm a tree-hugging activist who will burst into tears, inadvertently lump themselves in my eyes with the sanctimonious vegetarians and vegans who go around waving PETA flyers and enforcing guilt and shame everythere they turn. Both attitudes completely disgust me.

optical chiasma Whether or not one believes that humans were meant to be vegetarians or omnivores, one can't deny that in modern North American society we consume much more than is needed to survive and produce a lot of problems in the world. This gross consumption applies to everything, not just food. We are truly a sick people. 040327

Kleinheinz I agree with the above, decadence is an embarressment and no one seems to care! That's why I joined the Young Aryan Nature League!

However, the issue of whether all able-bodied humans need meat or just some is an unresolved issue. One can be an environmentalist and eat meat but one treads a delicate path between hypocricy and sincerety as our culture encourages us to eat excess meat and often provides it from corrupt sources, i.e. your average slaughter house.

Consider me a Rooseveltian Environmentalist, albeit I'm a tad greener and not an acting hunter.
