Does just not eating sea food count? Lol

But on a serious note, I have hypothyroidism, snapping hip syndrome, and SED/ARFID so my "safe food" group is insanely small :l

Interesting that most of the vegetarians here don't do it for ethical reasons.

 

I guess my opinion is not on topic because I'm not a vegetarian but I'll share it anyway. I would never try being a vegetarian because we were made to eat everything so I don't see why I should artificially restrict myself. Some things I don't like about western vegetarianism is desperately trying to create food that resembles meat dishes. It's a lot of chemicals, advertised as "healthy" because everything vegetarian is healthy and may remotely remind you of the original thing. Or when meat dishes are altered to make them vegetarian it usually tastes like crap. I tried (supposedly because I can't say for sure) real Indian food and it was mostly vegetarian and was really tasty. If dishes are vegetarian in the first place, they're great.

I wish I could eat a bit less meat than I do though. Too much of one thing is never good.

 

I once went to this restaurant in Toronto called Vegetarian Haven, and as a meat eater I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't miss the animal products in any of the dishes, not even in the tofu ice cream. Maybe you just haven't had the vegetarian cooking from a good chef?

 

I was vegetarian for four years or so. I did it for ethical reasons (I'm sure some of you people are laughing at me right now() but I've since figured out that my body doesn't do well under that kind of diet and there really is no "ethical" diet that I can afford.

I became a vegetarian / near vegan in 7th grade after I was served 2 spoiled skim milks in a row at school lunch. Disgusted me so much I really never wanted dairy products again. I've never like red meat so chicken & fish were the only things left to eliminate and that has been pretty easy since I love protein substitutions like Gardein products! 11 years going strong!

I never liked fake meat until I went to a Native Foods. I don't know what they put in their food, but it's dank.

 

I would be vegetarian for environmental reasons if I was less lazy or didn't like meat so much. There are vegetarian meals I like as much as steak, but a steak is a hell of a lot easier to cook.

Possibly because we've been cooking steaks since neanderthal times.

I was brought up on a farm, so I have zero issues with where my food comes from or the ethics.

 

I do however have some issues that make it difficult for me to digest much meat without wanting to cry from stomach pain so I live a predominantly vegetarian life. Red meat especially is a rare treat.
