its your choice. i was thinking about it too…

Marketing Strategies

im surprised you cant think of other foods besides that.

Marketing Strategies

you say you don’t like beans, but there are a lot of different types. You sould really try to eat some occasionally. But other than that, yeah! Go for it.

Marketing Strategies

Ultimately it’s up to you. I like being a vegetarian, but really am vegan. Sometimes family members make it difficult either purposely or not. Protein is not something to be concerned about, Being vegan, it’s more about B12, iron, calcium and vitamin D. Almost everything has some protein in it, probably not jellybeans.

Marketing Strategies

Yes

Marketing Strategies

Whatever you do stop eating pork. That stuff is horrible for you and it carries disease.

Marketing Strategies

Drop the pork and phase out the chicken gradually. You might just want to call yourself “mostly vegetarian” so when you go home for the holidays you can pick at the Thanksgiving turkey or not. Lean toward it, but don’t think you have to declare yourself. Eventually, you will get there.

I think it’s wonderful that you want to go veg. You should do it at a pace that feels right for you. I was a meat-eater one day (although the only meat I was eating at the time was chicken) and vegetarian the next. Some people gradually reduce the number of days they consume meat and work to full-time vegetarianism. Whatever way people become veg, for whatever reason, I think is fine.

But what are you worried about giving up if you go vegan? There are tons of plant milks around that are wonderful for baking, cooking, and putting on your cereal; several brands of vegan ice cream (both soy and rice ice creams), and even vegan cheeses. Sadly, the dairy and egg industries are among the cruelest (you expressed a concern for animals, which is why I mention this).

I think you should! it’s really a great and easy way to rid toxins of your body, and meat is just gross anyway.

we are a grave yard for animals! i want to be a vegetarian but my mom hates the idea & i cant buy my own food (I’m a pore person) so the only thing i can do is try to avoid it as much as i can till i get out on my own!

yes, be a vegetarian if you can!!!!!

Marketing Strategies

i wanna become a vegetarian too…i think you should do it…hey, let’s become vegetarians TOGETHER!!

Marketing Strategies

Your body will love you for it. About 14 years ago I was getting sick and doctors couldnt figure out what was wrong with me. When I stopped eating cows I stopped going to the emergency room….problem solved. When I tried to sneak and eat a few Wendy’s hamburgers a few years ago I almost went to the emergency room again. Im not vegetarian but Im really looking into making the change in a few years. My father looks 10 years younger than he did 10 years ago since he went veggie.

Marketing Strategies

It is a decision that you have to make yourself. If you think about the animals as you eat them, it is probably better for your mental health and self-esteem if you gave up all flesh eventually. There is no question of whether it is healthy or satisfying as long as you learn as you go and don’t dive in head first.

There have been vegan Olympic gold medalists and vegan mothers that grow healthy human beings inside their bodies that stay vegan their entire life and stay healthy.).htm

I’m vegan and these are some of my favorite things to eat:

Breakfast: bananas, cream of wheat with brown sugar and soy butter, cereal, pancakes or french toast with real maple syrup, vegan “sausage” patties, smoothies.

Lunch: VEGAN “SAUSAGE” SANDWICHES, sandwiches with vegan deli slices(Tofurkey is the only one that’s kinda funky), fruit, dinner leftovers, couscous salad, vegan sushi, potato or pasta salad.

Dinner: sloppy joes, “sausage” and gravy with homemade biscuits, Spaghetti and Trader Joe’s “meatballs” or TVP, lasagna, Thai pad see ew, pad khi mao(drunkard’s noodles), pad prig king, tofu+eggplant with basil sauce, yellow thai curry with tofu or vegan chikn and veggies and jasmine rice, Indian dal with homemade roti or dosai, channa masala, aloo gobi, vegetable or minestrone soup, pizza, STEAMED “PORK” BUNS with potstickers or spring rolls, sweet&sour/orange/lemon chikn, vegan pho or wonton soup

I use these sites to find recipes:

If you want to become a lacto-ovo vegetarian, the transition should be quite simple. Almost all meats have widely available commercial replacements. All that you have to do is replace any flesh in your diet (beef, pork, poultry, seafood) with meat analogs or just leave it out altogether.

You should keep in mind that a journey such as this can be quite short but should just be the beginning of a longer one to a plant-based diet with no animal products. This is because of the reality of factory farming in which animals that are kept alive to produce milk, eggs, etc suffer much more and longer than animals that are raised to a certain weight and then slaughtered.http://www.veganoutreach.org/whyvegan/
Some people use the word “vegan” in reference to this idea, but be aware that applying that label to yourself should always come with the inclusion of wise activism and advocacy.http://www.veganoutreach.org/advocacy/index.html
Two extremely important examples of this are that you should never speak to someone about vegetarianism/veganism without their consent and genuine interest or as a comment on what they are eating AND your dietary beliefs should never be used as an introduction or explanation of who you are as a person. Veg*ism should be something that comes up AFTER people get to know you and they offer you a situation that makes it confusing to withhold the information/discussion. Also, if you are presented something that you choose not to eat or you are
ordering food/eating together somewhere/picking the best place to eat.

When you you hold off on the subject until it’s necessary and then act like it isn’t a big deal at all, people are usually surprised and WAY more interested and curious than if you were to bring it up when someone’s eating or just using it as a conversation starter.

A responsible vegan ALWAYS studies the subject of their own health and how to keep their body completely provided for in every sense.
To neglect their body is to define a plant-based diet as unhealthy and is the opposite of helping the animals.

Just to clear things up, the vegetarian/vegan diet is not composed of salads, vegetables, fruit and fake meat. Fruits and vegetables are always important but they DO NOT make up the largest portion of any healthy diet.
A balanced plant-based diet includes grains(breads, pasta, rice,cereal), legumes(soy, beans, peas, lentils), fruit and vegetables.
Being vegan can be an art, one whose challenge is to take things that involve the suffering of the innocent and change them into something free of cruelty.

A vegan woman can create an ENTIRELY NEW,HEALTHY HUMAN BEING INSIDE OF HER. Many of these children stay vegan and grow up to be perfectly healthy adults. So just keep yourself educated about what you eat and don’t let anyone tell you that a veg diet is lacking anything essential.

Technically the term “vegetarian” does imply that you don’t consume anything that comes from the body of an animal that requires killing it. Many ingredients such as gelatin and glycerin are found in many candies, Fig-Newtons, and many of other foods as well as rennet found in many cheeses.
The best thing to remember is to take your time so that for example: when you are comfortable not eating beef and pork you can then give up chicken when you are sure you can make the commitment permanently.
Depending on your age or reliance on parents or regional options, it may not be best to give yourself a label. The important thing is to do your best to make progress and be committed to your compassion towards animals. Never put your focus onto what you or other people use to describe yourself.

If you meet someone that talks down to people for eating meat, dairy, etc or to you because they think they are “more veg” than you, laugh in their face and tell them they are a disgrace to the entire philosophy. People like this only hurt the idea of veg*ism AND the animals. The point of all of this is to live compassionately and and as free from cruelty as you can, all the while maintaining your health and a positive attitude. People who don’t maintain either, need not open their mouths and represent our beliefs.

Perfect choice, ’cause our machine is not meant for meat.

I had this doubt when I started to be a vegetarian, but when I consulted many doctors, I found most of them were lack in nutritional information. Then I consulted with a dietitian, in fact the vegetarian / vegan food pyramid already exist, and it have numerous advantaged, without any doubt.

Initially your body/mind 10%/90% will show some withdrawal symptom, because clearing of all “rubbish” and replenish the body to the origin. For some people it take few weeks. But frankly to me, nothing happen.

Previously when I was a meat-eater, I used to train for physical fitness, because it’s a requirement for my profession. I ever failed few times albeit I train. But for the passed 2 years I became a vegan, I attained “silver” without any training (in fact better than the “pass”). Many of them wonder this phenomena, but trust me, eventually you feel better than now after few days.

Just like filling gasoline into diesel car!! Even though you may modify the car, but the accessories will not compete perfectly !!

YES I would highly suggest it, I’m a vegetarian by choice, because well, I like to keep the animals around me alive thank you. But on a side note, I personally think that meat is disgusting, and full of hormones and who knows what, so yes, it’s healthier, it saves animals, and you feel so much better.
