WELCOME TO THE VEGGIE CLUB!

I thought it was about time to start a food club for the non animal/dairy eaters in the world.

Here's some vocabulary for those of you who are considering or questioning if you're one of the following:

Vegan: A vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet.

Vegetarian: A person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.

Lacto-ovo-vegetarian: Eats both dairy products and eggs. This is the most common type of vegetarian diet.

Lacto-vegetarian: Eats dairy products but not eggs.

Ovo-vegetarian: Eats eggs but not dairy products.

Fruitarian: A type of vegan diet where very few processed or cooked foods are eaten. Consists mainly of raw fruit, grains and nuts. Fruitarians believe only plant foods that can be harvested without killing the plant should be eaten.

Macrobiotic: A diet followed for spiritual and philosophical reasons. Aims to maintain a balance between foods seen as ying (positive) or yang (negative). The diet progresses through ten levels, becoming increasingly restrictive. Not all levels are vegetarian, though each level gradually eliminates animal products. The highest levels eliminate fruit and vegetables, eventually reaching the level of a brown rice diet.

Raw- Foodists: People who only eat vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds that have not been heated over 118 degrees Fahrenheit.

Pescetarian: A vegetarian that consumes seafood as an exception.

You don't have to be any of the following, you can just support it or even if you're planning on becoming one in time, join!

I'm a pescetarian, vegetarian in training.

That looks good. Hurray for the first member. Welcome! I'll post it up right away!

I AM SO IN!
yayay
I'm a Pescetarian also
My names Allison

Hurray! There's member number 3! Welcome!

I never knew they were called Pescetarians.

They say there's another category above Vegan, where you eat only "raw foods." These are supposed to be foods that are not cooked over 105 degrees. Drink things like almond milk rather than cow milk.

Raw foods, huh? I'll have to look onto that. Thanks for urking the information.

Hell yeah, vegetarian! :D

woot. i love cb.

Is anyone a member of PETA? I remember they recently sent me a survey to fill out in the mail. They gave me free stickers.

i'm not sure what you would consider a "member". but i love peta. and their stickers.

Haha. I don't have a credit card to continuously donate to them. But I recently sent out 10 bucks in cash.

so this thread needs to be more active. i know there are more people out there.

^ YES definitely
Wasn't Peta like a scam or something?

I'm not a vegan, vegetarian, or a pescetarian but I do support people who are.
I'm also into animal rights. May I still join?

I doubt Peta is a scam. They're one of the biggest animal organizations out there.

Welcome new members!

yeah. peta is very well-known. if it was a scam, wouldn't they be out of business by now?

Eh, it all depends on how stupid the people that believe are.

Its been a whole week and no pork/beef has touched these lips, hurray!

I'm a PETA kid.



from myspace.com/vegexpress
there's tons of info on there :) you guys should check it out.

I'm lacto-ovo-pescetarian.

I'm a beginning lacto-vegetarian =)


What are your favorite vegetarian recipes? Mine is falafel. Every time I make them is always a fun time.

QUOTE

Lacto-vegetarian: Eats dairy products but not eggs.

woot. 'tis me. has anyone else ever heard of vegesoc(sp?) or vs(vegetarian support) on myspace?

I'm hoping we have ourselves 2 new members. I've never heard of vegtarians, that's so cool. I didn't know thats what they were called.

I hate it when my parents MAKE you eat meat (such as pork)

Well im Semi-Vegetarian..I dont eat red meat or anything processed.

I do eat fish and chicken and all organic food.

Does that count to join or no?

You can be a man eating cannibal, as long as you care for the benefit of animals.

Welcome, Diana!

What if you happen to be a vegetarian that doesn't care about animals.

Not saying that's me. =P

Well...then that would be misfortunate. But, hey, if a vegetarian wants to join a vegetarian club, who am I to say they can't? xD

Ha ha, alright, just checkin' that out.

My parents tried to force meat on me for a while. Good thing I have a dog!

Yay i want to be a man eating canibal who cares about the benefit of animals.

I know how you feel. I feel horrible when my parents force me to eat. I only see my dog's face.

I don't have a dog..
But I have 4 turtles!
I remember once my grandma gave my parents an idea of cooking the turtles

I remember how my grandma would always joke about cooking my fish whenever they died. It amde me terribly sad.

^
my dad used to have a pet duck, until one day his nana cooked it and my dad was sobbing at the dinner table refusing to eat it
..
the funny thing was that he ate it anyway

My best friend's mother freaked when she found out I was a pescet. She gave me the "you're still growing" speech. I never know how to explain to asian parents how I feel about eating meat.

I decided to try pescetarianism last night. I brought it up with my mom and surprisingly, she didn't disapprove. Wishmeluck?

Sounds like she took it a lot better than my parents did. Best of luck! Tell me how it goes.

Thanks, Jane. It shouldn't be too hard since I hate steak and don't eat other processed meat that much anyway.

I'm going to have to try going raw foods only some time...

<< Lacto-ovo vegetarian since I was 10.
My parents have been veggie all their lives and my sister is a chicken-arian but trying to go veggie.

My parents won't let me become a full vegetarian til I'm 18. I'm stuck with pescetarian.

Do it anyway.
They cant FORCE you do eat things if you dont want to.What are they going to do chase you with a feeding tube and stick meat and fish down your throat?

I guess I can try the sneak attack. They would like hurt me if I don't though. x_x

Happy almost 5 months to my pescatarianism! Haha, sorry for the randomness. I'm just glad I could keep it going.

^ YAY CONGRATS JANE!
I haven't really kept an ongoing schedule but thats mainly because of my "typical asian parents"

Tell me about it. You don't know how fat my dog has gotten after the "feed the rice to tiger" thing started.

i convinced my sister to be a veg today. exept there's a problem. she's only four years old.
but she agreed. exept my mom fussed me out and made her eat zaxby's. it lasted for like...an hour. haha.

Eh; that would've been cool if you got her to become one at a young age. But usually. The parents have to teach them when they're born.

My parents were vegetarians before I was born.
I not only dislike the idea of "anything with a face" but I don't like the taste either
