Any other vegetarians / vegans?

[Gnome]

I was just curious how many other vergetarians or vegans were on EN World. I'm a vegetarian who eats a mostly vegan diet myself.

Well, I had been doing the full-on vegetarian thing for almost a year until just a couple of months ago. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be - it helped that I live in an apartment with a couple of people who are mostly vegetarian. However, i just realized that I like meat a LOT, and I have other bad habits that aren't any good for me, so now I'm back on the meat wagon. Mmm, sweet flesh!

Oh, and something I discovered when I started eating meat again - if you suddenly eat a lot of meat after close to a year of not eating any at all, your digestive system will react VERY violently for a few days. Ugh.

I've been vegetarian since 1988, though I do include fish in my diet (being that they're among the least cuddly of the food animals, I guess) along with eggs & dairy. That said, my diet isn't the shining example it could be...

I'm an ex-vegetarian and still cook vegetarian food. I also contribute vegetarian recipes to my friend Ron's cookbook series.

I can't be a vegetarian. My doctor won't let me. I need beef protein to offset my neurological condition.

Similarly, my son's fiancee used to be a vegetarian. But she, too was informed she needed to eat meat to avoid IBS complications. Fruit and vegetables exit her system at the speed of dark.

I've been a vegetarian for a little over ten years now.

When I lived on my own, I kept to a strictly vegan diet. After my wife and I were married, I let in dairy and egg-whites again - it's a bit easier for both of us this way.

I eat fish, but no four-chambered-heart critters. (It has to do with higher cognitive functions for me; I also won't eat octopodes).

i eat anything i can kill, and if i can't kill it i eat it while it's still moving.

You know, this is the exact example I give pet owners when telling them not to switch their pet's food too quickly. Its true to a lesser extent of different kinds of meat, too. If I've been pure fish and chicken for my protien for a while then have a lot of beef, my digestive tract gives me what-for.

I was veggie with fish for a while then went to "only free range meats" but convienience has been beating me down on that... Maybe someday I will have a diet I can feel good about and, you know, actually get nutrition into me with.
