Who's a vegitarian and who's not??

Strict vegan, baby!

 

Veggie, cause I don't like the taste of meat. And I don't like finding weird things in meat too..

 

ovo-lacto-veggie....will be vegan one day tho

 

i only eat eggs and milk,i find it hard to cut those out, although i dont really eat them that much unless there like blended into the food like making bread and stuff with milk and eggs, but in reality, we hve to milk the cows theyd die if we didnt, but meat is sooooooooooooooooooo disgusting, ive encouraged my parents to stop eating so much oif it and tehre goin TOTALY organci which im sooo happy about no more nasty grocery store foods in the house yippeeee!!!!, i will never go back to eating meat uuughhhhh!!

 

Mrsmorrison27-- The cows would not die if we did not milk them. This is a common misbelief. (My grandmother said the same thing the other day.)
When an animal is not milked, it begins to stop lactating. If it is continued to be milked, it continues lactating. The reason they begin lactating anyway, is either because they have given birth or they have been given hormones. If they have given birth, the calf would naturally nurse from its mother, and when it weans off breastfeeding, the lactation will terminate. In farm factories, the calves do not breastfeed for the natural amount of time that they would in nature. Instead, they are butchered as veal. This is why there is extra milk.

A simple way to view it is based on the fact that all mammal lactation patterns are similar. You do not have to be "milked" daily, unless you've just given birth- and in that case, your infant will take care of things, not a farmer!

Hope that clears things up!

 

ya i was just thinking about that today, if we didnt take the cows milk, her calf would, and so therefore she wouldnt need us to, so ya i guess its not neccesary, man im gettin all kind of revalations lol

 

vegan.

 

i was a veggie for 7 yrs but cause of health stuff i had to eat alot of stuff containing animal stuff, i wanna go back one day though

 

I've never made a concious decision to be vegetarian...but my diet is prolly 90% sans-meat...


tis just easier, meat is too much hassle (and expensive) to be bothering with when yer live alone......and the garden is bursting with free veggie grub

 

Vegetarian

 

Veggie, only a fairly recent decision. Going strong!

 

vegetarian

 

I love alot of vegetarian food, but I'm not vegetarian..(i think i love kebabs too much!) My mum is though. She decided to go veggo a couple of years ago when she started hearing more about how the animals were treated beforehand, and one day just stopped eating meat because she said she didnt want to support cruelty by buying meat products and hasnt eaten it since, in fact shes thinking about going vegan!

 

Vegan is the only way to go, in my opinion.

 

Omnivore! Truth be told though it's mostly chicken & seafood these days. The Hunzas who are some of the longest lived folk around say that although most of their neighbors were Buddist and veggie the Hunzas who were Taoist had found in their experience that when a hard winter came and they had to eat the goats and horses the systems of the veggies rejected the animal protien and they starved to death. My ex who is Uzbecki from the same high mountains concurs.

 

full agreement with RANGER... i've been a veggie all my life and eat no dairy... a friend cooked me a meal that contained animal protien and for a couple of days i thought i was dying....without a doubt if you've never eaten meat your system cant handle it...

 

I dont know what i come under for vegetarianism

I dont eat meat or fish but will eat eggs if theyre free range, will eat dairy produsts and cheese if its animal rennet free

 

actualy. i beleive this is false, after thousandsof years of continuos milking, the cows today do not natuaruly stop lactating the way they should, they get very ill when they stop being milked i'm not sure if its from selective breeding or if they just lost that ability to naturaly adjust, but domestcated cows could never be re-naturalized because farming techniques have altered the species enough that they are dependant on constant milking...sad isnt it?

 

"Does anyone know where i can buy udder pads?" lol

 

I'm vegan. Started off as vegetarian and then to vegan about 6months ago. I just slowly cut out meat, dairy and eggs gradually....
