To the vegetarians on this board, I have some questions.

[Tulip]

1. How long have you been a vegetarian?
2. Why did you become a vegetarian (religious reasons, etc.)?
3. What type are you (no flesh at all, some dairy, only seafood and poultry)?

I have been tossing around the idea of becoming a vegetarian. It really isn’t feasible because I would never give up seafood or red meat. I wouldn’t care if I never ate another piece of yard bird in my life. And my main use for pork is seasoning meat, but I do not foresee my life without eating fish and beef.

Perhaps it can just be a part time thing for me. I like legumes and nuts, and they may well be fine sources of protein, but to be honest, they don’t quite bring the same satisfaction as escoveitched snapper or a nice big juicy grilled steak.

So, if you have a minute, please chime in on your choice.

Thanks Kia. I wasn't quite sure if it belonged there.

Don't think you can be a "part-time" vegetarian, because then you're really NOT a vegetarian....what you can do is eat consciously!

I actually ate no red meat for about 12 years & drank no soda. I didn't think it was that difficult. I think I could also give up chicken & maybe even fish but gotta have my dairy products!! I've always been a cheese lover, even though I know it's not all that great for you. During the time I didn't eat red meat I learned to cook totally vegetarian food since I had a boyfriend that was vegan.

Hmm. I guess you both have a point. Well I'm going to need a name for my version so I said I'd call it PT.

Re: To the vegetarians on this board, I have some questions.

@ Tanya, I have thought about it and I don't want to be structured on the days. Maybe just try to apply an 80/20 rule - more veggies/less meat.

@ Queen, I'm intimidated by the link. I'm not ready to click it yet. It is too early in the morning to be grossed out.
