i see quite long discussion here and you are the only one who really tried
this could you tell us more? i guess you feel better now cos as people say meat is
'heavy food' and by eating vegetable you feel more comfortable. but what about
needed vitamins and similar stuff? don't you have any problems with this? i'm
just currious, frankly i never tried to be a veggie and i don't think i
could |

 ID: 185837 Posts: 336 | Date: 2007-03-28 04:09 I've been vegetarian for about 30 years. The important thing is to ensure a
balanced diet. Just as is important for those who aren't vegetarian. Everything
you need can be obtained through a vegetarian diet... after all there are some
cultures which are vegetarian so have a number of generations, proving the error
in it being disastrous for children. If, however, you just try to cut out meat
from a normal diet, you probably won't feel so good. Experiment and cook
different things and it is a valid option.***** Spring approaches and soon the fairies will awaken ***** |

 ID: 182744 Posts: 1435 | Date: 2007-07-02 16:03 To each his own. I have no problems with vegetarians, the few that exist!
I do get disgusted by the misleading hype. Despite all the promo that is bandied
about, there exists no clinical evidence to suggest that a strictly vegetarian
lifestyle is either healthier or will result in a longer life span than that of
an omnivore eating a balanced diet.
We do know that no vegetarian society in history has been able to prevail when
invaded or to survive the uncertainties of weather and environment.
Vegetarians today do have survival advantages over vegetarians of the past.
Science plus world commerce and more efficient agricultural techniques means
that a vegetarian today can create a vegetarian diet that pretty much replaces
nutrients lost by not eating meats. The chemical structure of these nutrients is
not exactly the same as in meats and does cause the body to stop producing
certain enzymes and proteins and store energy less efficiently but a vegetarian
can remain healthy and free of vitamin deficiencies if careful.
Human beings are the only mammal that thinks it is vegetarian. All mammals, even
those with internal organs designed to handle large quantities of vegetable
matter, supplement their diet in nature with tidbits of animal flesh. And if
anyone points out cows as an example, they will be laughed at since cattle, like
many of the common vegetables we eat today, is a creation of man.
Man was created as an omnivore and today's drug and medicine companies are only
too happy to have so many people on a mostly vegetable diet. Drug companies
totally love the soy bean. The soy bean is making them rich
beyond avarice. Look up the number one ailment requiring prescription medicine
today. You will find that more medicines are prescribed for thyroid disorders
than anything else. The cause? Over consumption of soy beans. Yes, gentle folk,
everything in moderation still holds true! American vegetarians have been
consuming multiple meals a day consisting of soy products. They are
overdosing!
Yes, vegetarianism is healthier than a high-fat diet. Then again, so is a
balanced three-meal diet of meats, fruits and vegetables.
Meat production is also more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than
mass plant agriculture. Animals are easier on the life of the soil, take up less
space, endure weather better and are more easily renewable than most crops.
Yes...let the argument about that fact begin. It gets debated all the way up to
Congress despite very accurate accounting reports and scientific data. People
got killed over this argument in the wild west. But that does not change facts
and any farmer who raises both crops and livestock will tell you so. Pound for
pound, vegetables cost much much more than meat. The United States government
spend billions of dollars a year buying down the price of vegetables so that
they can remain affordable on your store shelf. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

 ID: 186175 Posts: 71 | Date: 2007-07-03 10:43 I eat a lot of food that would be acceptable to a vegan - beans on toast with a
bottle of Grolsch and dark chocolate for pudding. But I also eat lots of meat.
If I were inclined to switch to veganism, which I'm not, the move wouldn't be so
bad. Vegetarianism would be even easier. |

meat-based proteins in female diets to breast cancer in their daughters. No, it
is not true that all proteins found in meats can be found in vegetables. Similar
proteins, yes, that can simulate many of the basic functions of those meat
proteins, but the bottom line is that they are very different chemicals and the
body does know the difference. The harm to the individual is negligible but
seems to increase in subsequent generations.
Since we are omnivores I do not consider it worthwhile to experiment with my
children's health. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should |

animals but I don't think I would be able to have the commitment to do it. |

 ID: 183878 Posts: 929 | Date: 2007-10-04 15:55 This is a delightful subject. As someone who has adopted a form of Hinduism as
his religion, I can point out that many generations of Hindus have lived on
vegetarian diets exclusively.
On the other hand, since I was raised as an omnivore and I've reached 64 eating
nearly anything that comes my way, I'm not changing my culinary habits to suit a
mere philosophy.
There is a section of the Rig Veda that points out that everything is food for
something. Left to nature, we are food for scavengers and worms--not to mention
crocs and tigers--oh my!
We, as a species, got where we are by being browsers, eating a little of this
and a little of that, including proteins and roughage. It's when we go
overboard, overeating or getting on a fad bandwagon, that we get in dietary
trouble. I once did some prints and slide dupes for a medical book proposal by a
doctor of pathology. One of his case studies was a guy who exclusively drank
carrot juice after deciding that extraction was the perfect food. His bloated
corpse was the most interesting shade of orange I ever saw-- quite a challenge
to get the prints true to death.
Eggs, cheese, fruits, vegetables and grains can provide life-substaining food,
but a few grubs, some fish and a honking big steak will also do.
If you want to talk Karma, get back to me.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |

 ID: 211220 Posts: 31 | Date: 2007-10-19 01:00 My girl friend is full vegan and has been her entire life, this means no cheese,
fish, egg, milk etc etc and she is healthier than most people who eat meat! She
has always re seached her food and found what vegetables and fruits nuts etc she
should be eating to give her the supliments she misses out on from eating
meat!
She has regular check ups with her doctor and stuff and she is perfectly
healthy. Not to say this is the right choice for everyone - i myself eat some
meat and dont see the problem either way.
The only thing i believe is that if you are going to go full vege or even vegan,
make sure you research everything! find alternatives to give to the necessary
stuff for your body!
And she is certainly not healthy from just eating veges! she has to exercise
just like everyone else to keep fit and trim, there are alot of veges and fruits
out there that are seriously fattening and bad for you! sugar sugar sugar! (mind
you it is natural haha)Sofiexox |

 ID: 163910 Posts: 4 | Date: 2007-10-30 16:57 I am not a vegeterian and wouldn't try to be one where I live. The biggest
hassle here is finding fresh produce. However, I do prefer fruit and veg as part
of my daily diet instead of meat. I am not fond of chicken or fish, red meats
tend to be heavy and I find that one cuts out on too much of the much needed
rabbit food.
I also find that I get sluggish and tired if I don't try to stick to as much
veggies and fruit as possible. I just wish that our shops would start
specializing in fresher items and variety. |

healthier now since i stopped eating meat makes me eat more vegetables/fruits

type A fits vegetarian lifestyle..type O persons must eat more protein rich
foods because their enzymes can digest more protein rich foods, while type B &
AB...is 50% protein-rich and 50% vegies...i'm not quite sure about this so any
info/facts are gladly accepted... |

unhealthy things we contact through meat is enough to worry about your health.
No matter how hygenic you are while preparing meat, it will still have a lot of
bacteria and germs.
But, I think a lacto vegetarian is a better option.sherlly butshy |
