Definitely not. I love meat of all kinda. I could never give it up; it tastes too good. 8| I can't imagine a situation would come up where there was a severe shortage on all meat or something, making it expensive and unavailable--and that's the only kind of situation I can think of where I might consider giving it up.

No, even after watching videos of factory farming.
I'm a cereal person, that sort of weirdo that can happily eat dry crackers. I'm not particularly fond of meat and thus don't eat much, but simply because I don't greatly like it doesn't make me a vegetarian at all; a vegetarian is someone that avoids meat out of choice, not someone who would simply rather be eating bread or nuts.

I wouldn't give up meat even if I had a dream about cows being gored on a conveyor belt. In fact, I would say that those cows are LUCKY. In the olden days, all animals had to live in fear of getting eaten, and usually didn't live very long. BUT now, cows are RAISED with the cow-killers, so they might-I don't know-think of farmers as part of the FAMILY. They live their boring cow lives with love and care, and if they eventually get killed, it'll just be like the circle of life. But once, when cows were wild, the cows must have had something to fear, because they would actually care about their fate. Even though they'll just be filled with fat and be sold to guys who don't care about their health.

Besides, I don't like the prospect of eating meat substitutes. I heard if you eat too much veggies, you'll get sick.

eh, I've tried it, and tbh I couldn't stand it, tofu tastes like yechh, and so cheese is also yechh, though rice and soy milk aren't all bad.

...I am vegetarian, for over a year now, all my friends know that. XD

Morally vegetarian, mind you. I used to love steak n' all, but one day I just quit. I do not miss meat in the LEAST. I'm a lot happier and skinner from it, actually. I know I'm doing the right thing. ♥

Ew, no way. I couldn't stand not eating meat. That's great for other people if it helps them, but I couldn't eat some of the foods I do enjoy.

I'm not getting fat from it, so I see no reason to stop eating it. And it tastes really good. :3!

But I do refrain from drinking soda every day. I'm an iced tea and water sorta guy, and that really saves me a lot of heart-ache (literally) and keeps my blood flowing better. :D

I am a vegetarian, and have been for about a month now and I'm not a very strict one by any means. I still eat fish and eggs, I just don't like red meat and I never really have so I figured I would just remove it from my diet.

I'm fine with it :>

I would never become a vegetarian because a person can't survive by just eating green material, you need at least some meat in your body to survive.
No, plenty of people have lived their whole lifes without eating meat. There are ways you can replace the nutrients normally found in meat:

"Necessary nutrients, proteins, and amino acids for the body's sustenance can be found in green leafy vegetables, grains, nuts, and fortified juices or soymilk"

NoOoOoOoOo WAY!

My parents tried to force me to like vegetables and that stuff, but, I simply couldnt stand them (I can bare just a small amount of things), most of the time I'd be too close to puke when I eat a bit of something I dont like.

I will never be a vegetarian.

Meat is awesome, so why? I see why people want to stop killing animals; too bad it's the cycle of life.

When I say Hillshire, you say Farm, Hillshire...Farm, GO MEAT!
Farm!
but come on, i don't see how people can't live without meat.
Tofu tastes disgusting to about 90% of people, and meat is just the main source of protein(and some other stuff i think).
And i think fish and chicken is meat, so people really can't qualify themselves as vegans when they are eating something that used to live, breathe, and move around of their own will.
besides, not eating meat to stop animal cruelty won't stop the production anytime soon, so i don't think its a good idea to stop in spite. someone else will just buy the meat, and that is our everyday world.
and besides, nuts like almonds and cashews are very unfulfilling, it'd take about 1,000 of those to equal a burger. the cycle of life sucks, but its part of our everyday lives.

LOL not true.

I haven't had a speck of meat for a year, now... amigunnadie? ;;

Honestly... if you think that humans need meat to survive, go do some research and then come talk to me. XD;

What is it with everyone not considering fish and eggs to be meat? Just because it lives in the sea or hasn't been born yet doesn't mean it's not an animal.


Ironically, vegetarians still have things killed for their consumption, namely parts of plants. Intensively raised rice has much less repect than a battery hen, and why? Sad, sad...
Save a carrot, eat a cow.

Because it is allot harder to cut eggs from the diet, and fish for me are just so tasty =P and they are alot different from land animals, for me they just seem "less human" you can make friends with a dog or cat or even a cow but not with a fish.

I would like to, because I feel that I would help the environment in many ways if I ate only vegetables. But I just can't. I like meat too much. I always have a bad conscience about it, but I'm too selfish to stop eating meat. I could propably eat less meat and more vegetables, though.

To me, the main point of being a vegetarian isn't just saving poor suffering animals. Of course I feel bad about that too, but only if they are raised in bad conditions. Othervise it's just the cycle of narute. No, the most important thing to me is that there would be more than enought food to everyone on this planet if everyone were vegetarians. It's because then we could use all field area to grow grain for people instead of feed for the animals we eat.

I've never really understood how is, for example, eating moose such a terrible thing. There's plenty of moose in Finland, and people have to hunt them down because othervise there would be too many of them, causing a lot of damage to the forests and car accidents, too. So the moose has to be killed either way, and it lived its life happily in the nature. The end. :P

But I still think people could survive without eating meat. At least soy products and some beans have the same kind of proteins we can have from meat. But I still understand if people just like meat. I like it too.

Hey now bud, I never said I didn't consider fish to not be meat, I am well aware it is. I'm not a vegetarian because I'm against killing animals for food, like I said in my post, I just don't like red meat. Hence the fact that I'm not a strict one.

And if people still want to eat fish and eggs, then why not?

Ive been a vegan for at least 4 years now. Can't remember.
It means I dont eat meat, fish, eggs, cheese, milk..

The very first reason why Im vegan is that I cant stand how people torture and abuse animals only for their purposes. It's like people believe animals dont have feelings and that they are only food.
It's so rude how they treat them.

The second reason why I'm vegan is because by now I think it's disgusting to eat something that lived. (Don't tell me vegetables live, too... It's ridiculous to say so.)

Besides I don't miss anything. Tofu is delicious if you know how to cook it. Soya Milk is also tasty if you're used to.
There's no reason for me to eat meat/cheese/eggs again.
