I tried being Pescetarian and succeeded for about 4 months and then I ate some turkey and some chicken. Never red meat though. But now All kinds of meat, poultry etc are kinda disgusting me. So I decided to try it out again. It's been only 2 weeks so far. It's also healthier:D

So, I wanna join^^;;

I was a vegetarian for about 2 years and now I'm a vegan. Its not that hard either, just get soymilk and soycheeses and stuff. As for eggs, tofu is a great substitute.

And for 6 months I'm not eating any preservatives and nothing processed. So, no bread, no rice no nothing but vegetables, fruit legumes.

That doesn't open your food options to very much, eh? I wish I could go vegan, but my parents would go berserk. Pescetarian is the best I can do for now and they still don't accept it.

i wanna go vegan! or raw-foodist even..
tofu and soy = happy me. + vegetablesss
i work at a barbeque restaurant though :| i'm quitting soon, but am still going to be working at a restaurant.

i'm still lacto-ovo-pesc.
i can't stand looking at meat. when i do, all i can see is a dead animal's body and it really grosses me out. and then my imagination gets carried away easily and then it's kinda like.. i see dead people.

Its not the fact that it grosses me out, it just makes me sad. Its like I'm eating my dog.

I just realized another pet peeve. The people that think that I'm drooling over meat and end up "trying" to tease me by devouring it slowly and in my face. mellow.gif

i've been a vegetarian since i was 7. that's 18 years right there.
whew. it was tough growing up. my mom was pretty understanding, but my dad who's a complete carnivore and his wife gave me problems.

i stuck it through.

been vegan for going on a year now, and when i decided to have that lifestyle, i got a lot of flack from a lot of people...

but i'll tell you this...

i've never felt healthier.

also, quickly, let me add this...

for those out there that are SERIOUS about being Veg*n (vegetarian/vegan) be sure to read the labels on all the foods you buy.

1) lots of soups contain beef/chicken stock or chicken fat or lard
2) red dye #40 - which is used in the creation of lots of sodas, candies, or even simply food that's dyed red is not vegetarian. it's made from a beetle (gross, huh?)
3) anything with gelatin (marshmallows, poptart icing, certain frostings, gummy stuff etc) is not vegetarian

a couple of good sites are
http://www.goveg.com
http://www.ivu.org/faq/
http://www.archalifax.com/animalderiveding...ts/showall.html

Ceaser (sp?) Salad sometimes has anchovies in it, just a heads up.

Your goveg.com link doesn't work sad.gif

http://www.goveg.org/environment.asp

I read that write before I even decided to be vegetarian. I think its a long shot for me to make a difference but its still nice to know i'm not the whole blame xD

Wow it was expensive? We have vegan buffets about a hour or so away from my town, they were so good! and it wasn't that much at all although it could be where you live if your on the west coast?

Wow, good to know we're not adding to the cause. sad.gif Yeah, the bill came out to be like 50 bucks. I didn't really expect it to be that much but I guess it was because we were in manhattan.

I've been a vegetarian for five years. I'm so glad to see so many others changing their lifestyles! It is the better way to go.

Major bumpage.

LoveToMySilas
^ Haha, I smiled when I saw this show up.

Unfortunately, my parents found out about my pescetarianism and offered to strike a deal. That I would continue to eat meat until I have reached the full age of 18. So until then. sad.gif I'm sorry, my animal friends!
RissyMel
Lacto-ovo-vegetarian for 3 yearsssssssss(:

Thanksgiving coming up, y'all. Are you families sensitive to your dietary requirements? My parents were real cool last year, most of the vegetables they made were made sans-meat seasoning and they bought me a Tofurkey loaf + gravy. It was tasty.
