What do you think about vegetarianism?
Simple,but the best.. :shh:

i say no, but i really respect those who say yes. it takes strong will to change eating habits.
however it's not healthy for kids/teens and pregnant women to be vegetarian, cos if you don't eat meat, you don't get certain minerals which are necessary for your body. an also, if you are actual vegetarian and don't eat fish nor eggs, you don't get needed vitamins as well. so being vegetarian is a bit risky :dunno:

;) While I tend to agree in certain aspects with the brilliantly stated 'online' star & luminescently posted Luciana, there is an issue of blood type in conjunction to requirements for certain diets. Unfortunately for some, the above wonderful wisdom may not be as readily a valvular attainment.
No secret, simple is best: but supplements for vegans goes beyond both B-complex, mineral & text. :shh:

Food for thought: In the vast uniqueness of humanity, each one must search to achieve their custom tailored suited health style on their logistically notioned lateral of ascent to success...So you slip a few rungs, once in awhile...You've always got the chance, while you breathe, to go beyond trial.

I have been a vegetarian since 2000 (I eat eggs and dairy and very rarely fish, usually as a last resort). Before that I ate a lot of meat. I recommend learning about it and doing research before trying it. Many cultures around the world it is the custom to be vegetarian for instance. Not all vegetarians are healthy however. Ultimately, I don't think it's for everyone. You must listen to what your body tells you and act accordingly.

I think people should eat whatever they perfer - if you like rabbit food or red meat - either is fine;)

eat vegetables / plants only, you will feel cold easily even if it is a high vegetable fat diet. your food intake cannot be augmented, the body augments itself to the diet instead. if for any ethical reason, people should try not to kill or hurt other humans for various reasons instead of not killing animals for food. eating vegetables will not reduce any harboured evil either. :D

I am anti-vegetarian myself (eat mostly meat and other animal products), however vegetarian could work for some if you eat either supplements or "innocent" animal products like fish or egg. Vegan (purely non-animal diet) looks like a horror for me, as there is little chance to get healthy amount of proteins. I think such diet would do horrors for growing kids.
Anyway, a healthy adult can choose himself what to eat.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion here. You can get just about all essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients from a vegetarian diet. I don't want to bore you with all the details, but here's a partial list of sources just for vitamins...

Vitamin A: Green leafy vegetables, carrots, squash, sweet potatoes, wheatgrass juice

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine): Whole grains, nori, wakame, legumes (especially peanuts)

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Green vegetables, whole grains, beans, legumes, nutritional yeast, hiziki

Vitamin B3 (Niacin): Whole grains (especially brown, black and red rice), posole, masa, nori, wakame, peanuts, nutritional yeast

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid): whole grains, beans, legumes, mushrooms, nuts, nutritional yeast

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Whole grains, leafy green vegetables, dulse, nori, nutritional yeast, carrots, peas, sunflower seeds, walnuts

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin): Current scientific research has concluded that there are no reliable sources of B12 in plant sources, so it is best to take a supplement daily in lozenge form

Biotin: Soybeans, nutritional yeast, whole grains

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): Citrus fruits, bell peppers, chiles, amaranth, berries, cabbage, parsley, sprouts, tomatoes, Brussels sprouts

Chlorine: Soybeans, whole grains, legumes

Co-Enzyme Q10: Peanuts, spinach

Vitamin D: Sunflower sprouts, fortified soymilk, fortified vegan cereal

Vitamin E: Nuts, seeds, wheat, oats, quinoa, brown, red and black rice, broccoli, cauliflower, dandelion greens, sprouts, asparagus, cucumbers, spinach, wheatgerm oil

Folic acid: Microalgae, sprouts, leafy green vegetables, whole grains, nutritional yeast, dates, beans, legumes, mushrooms, oranges, beets, fenugreek and root vegetables

Inositol: Whole grains, nutritional yeast, beans and legumes, especially soybeans)

Vitamin K: Alfalfa sprouts, asparagus, hempseed, blackstrap molasses, dark leafy green vegetables, green tea, kelp, soybeans, oats, rye, wheat

Vitamin P (bioflavonoids): Peppers, buckwheat, black currants

Vitamin U: Green cabbage

So,you can get everything you body needs if you educate yourself. And, it's not like eating meat is safe, good for you, or the environment. For instance, there are large ammonts of mercury in fish and most meat (in USA) has been injected with growth hormones, antibiotics, and preservatives and are allowed to be fed other ground up dead animals (usually old livestock that died--dead chickens are ground up and fed to cows and vice versa). In addition, all the prime agricultural land that is devoted for grazing and growing crops to feed these animals is wasted becasue we could feed over four times as many people if that land was used to grow food for people. And don't forget, eating meat causes high cholestorol and is linked to several different types of diseases including many types of cancer. FYI: The best way to get all of your vitamins and minerals is through juicing fruits and veggies!

ps what else do rabbits like to do besides eating veggies? :muscle:

I got to agree with Ephraim.
You can be as healthy as a non-vegetarian by replacing the meat by other food. He actually knows what he is talking about, he mentioned Soymilk and not Milk when most vegetarian people do the weird mistake of inserting Cowmilk in vegetarian food.

Besides, according to several Scientists, Human beings body structure and instincts are non-carnivorous. We have evolved from the anthropoid ape by eating fruit and vegetables..

But theres many bad things about being vegetarian.. and those things would be:
- the Society.

Examples: When you eat out, you have to get information if the restaurant has Vegetarian food, also if you eat at a friend's house you have to call first warning him he/she has to prepare something else to you, your children at school might not get vegetarian food at all, etc.

Please note that Giedrius Majauskas stabilished the diference between vegetarian and vegan wich would be that vegetarian don't take any meat based products and vegan don't take any animal-products.
But after my experience when performing in this active tourist restaurant, I noticed that in most countries there was no such diference. Vegetarians actually didn't take any animal products at all, they actually only ate fruits and vegetables (like pizza without cheese too) and never heard of such word - Vegan (In my country there isn't such thing as also).

- So actually when I say Vegetarian, I allways mean Vegan for those who use that word.

pizza without cheese :shocked: no way. i guess i'm anti-vegetarian as well. thank you guys for explanation about vitamins, but it still seems to me that if you want you body to get all the useful things from food you need to eat vegetables and fruits all the day. it wouldn't work for me as i can't imagine being full up with vegetables :dunno: and i hate some vegetables actually :D and all soy-things too. i go for healthy food with as few preservatives as possible, i eat veggies often, but i couldn't refuse meat:endecided:

australian rabbits do eat meat, and are attracted to the scent of meat. I have a friend whose rabbit chews and munches on chicken bits.

I would like to try vegetarianism one day :)
I am still here

NO! EATING IS SO HEAVENLY! and besides you lose the proteins you need if you only eat vegetables.

It takes a lot of devotion to being a vergetarian, especially if you were used to eating meat beforehand. If you ate meat on a daily basis, I would not recommend become a vegetarian.

It is a very tough commitment if you try to be a vegan after years as a meat eater. I try to eat my veggies everyday.

speaking of chemicals in meat brings you to a whole new platform. then you'll be talking about organic food and free-range meat instead of vegetarianism. less to do with not eating meat.

Just wondering how will ur body will get all the needed vitamins minerals and other things if u dont wont to accept nature's care....

There are actually different classifications of Vegetarians (to which I am :proud: to belong to...with balance ;) )
...AND, this could bring a headlight heap of understanding...
Here's the Plant Fancier's Haven to the digestible eligible elite edible 'octane' on the menu-to-go LIST:lookdown:
1) Total Vegetarians eat only plant food...No animal foods, including the no-no's
of fish, eggs, dairy, & honey.
2) Vegans omit ALL animal products from their diets, & the rest of their (exterior) life, as well...[No leather, wool, or silk is in their belongings].
3) Lacto-Vegetarians include dairy products with their plant food menu.
4) Lacto-Orvo-Vegetarians utilize both dairy & eggs to supplement the existing foundation of their diet.
5) Pesco-Vegetarians probably know how to skin a bone the BEST, when it comes to Fillet-O-FISH.
AND, Cock-A-Doodle DO...LAST, But...NOT LEAST of all=--->
[Some real food;) ] :lol:
6) Pollo-Vegetarians This is a palatable sequence gone perhaps
