Food... What is your diet like? Vegetarian? Carnivore?

Post by **[EarthWitch]** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 4:59 pm

I was wondering what everyone practices in regards to food preferences...I mean are you vegeterian, or a carnivore (hehe) and elaborate on some specifics if you would, like how strict you are with your diet.

Well, I am on the way to becoming a vegetarian. I eliminated red meant from my diet as a New Year's Resolution and this year for my Resolution I am going to just not eat meat at all.

The only meat I eat is all white, and I try and limit that. Unfortunatly, I have a very carnivorus family, so its hard trying to get around not eating meat. When I move in with my fiance, I plan on becoming fully vergitarian though.

I don't think I could live without meat. I love my steak, lol. I try to keep things balanced when I eat but sometimes it's hard when you've got little money, sometimes you just gotta deal with whats available.

Blessed Be,

In public, I tell people I'm a vegetarian, so I don't have to go into this big, elaborate explanation, but I'm not really.

I still eat fish and other things from the sea.
I'm trying to wean myself, though. I don't eat any other kind of meat, and one day, I'd like to be a Vegan.
For now, though, I'm shooting for Vegetarian.

Well....I'm no vegetarian....here in England we love our meat!!!! I've always been brought up on it and I don't intend to stop. I respect animals and nature but humans need a balanced diet....including meat. I don't think that it's any coincidence that animals that have a good source of that were put on this planet.

However, I do not like the way some animals are killed. It's very disrespectful. And I do not like the copious amount of them killed. Species are going extinct!!!! The whole world is like a jigsaw puzzle...remove one piece and the puzzle is broken. Remove more than one and the puzzle is destroyed.

Tricky subject!!!

"I respect animals and nature but humans need a balanced diet....including meat"

it's nature that some animals eat others

i agree with you.

i eat meat every so often, its not something i go out of my way to eat but i enjoy it while its their. i could never be vegetarian and i have no hope in hell of ever being vegan so its good i dont feel the need to try.

I've found my tastes changing to become more vegitarian, but I do still eat meat occasionally. Mostly I try to have fresh food over frozen, dried or canned stuff. That's not easy since I work odd hours and don't get much of a chance to cook - and it can be the more expensive choice - but it is what I prefer.

I know a few Druids go the same route, eating fresh food whenever they can. Something to do with it having more life energy or "nwyfre" if it's fresh.

can't ditch my meat here, i got an allergy for ragout (dunno if it's an english word) but it is in some fast food stuff that i love, i still eat it even if i do get the allergie playing up.

i do agree with the way of killing but mostly it's done in a humane way.

I'm a strict vegetarian and have been since I was 16, well I wasn't so strict then but have become so over the years.

I won't eat anything that contains animal products of any kind and that includes a lot of products that aren't so obvious like sweets and biscuits and all manner of things. I read packet ingredients religiously.

I do eat eggs and dairy, couldn't be a vegan out here in Spain. It's hard enough being veggie over here anyway, but I'm definately leaning more and more towards a vegan diet.
