Vegetarian/vegans.......

[DrDice]

I often thought about becoming a vegetarian, my uncle has been one for years and i went to visit him last summer for 2 weeks. I did not eat any meat that entire time and wow did i ever feel better after those 2 weeks, energy levels were up, i was getting sounder sleep and a general feeling of wellness. But it is alot of work, too. Dont think i could ever become a vegan thats tough to give up my eggs and cheese.

Take it all in steps and as long as you are on a good path doens;t matter where you are on it, just keep on walking it

I have a few hens this year that im pretty sure are on their last laying,my grandmother insists I give them to her for roasting im not sure I can lol! She is old school for sure and would do the dirty work herself "god knows I can't the thought of killing anything makes me ill."So im kind of in a situation here,should I fork over the chickies or let them live out their lives as egg less pest control?

i wish i had the resources to grow my own fruits and vegetables and raise animals organically for me and my familys food. i would like to raise bison someday it is a great healthy meat source but expensive to purchase(organic raised) it is so hard to eat proper if your poor it sucks. i use supplements to help fill the nutritional gaps better than nothing

Ever since i was a child we have grown our own vegies, and its the best thing ever. We had a 15x20 fruit garden and a 20x135ft vegie garden and we had everything in there, all summer long it was fresh dinners and lunches with all fresh picked garden food and there is nothing better.

I have a container garden that I grow my own veggies on my back porch, just go to home depot buy some three and five gallon buckets, go to your local garden center and get some organic soil and bam your in business

I'm a vegetarian but my husband eats meat. I just hate the fact that you have to kill an animal, I freakin love animal. I feel such a strong connection to them. Then you eat them ewww. My husband tried to become vege but couldnt. I couldnt imagine being vegan though. I mean cut out cheese and wtf could I eat.

Anybody have any good vegetarian recipes? I love learning knew ones. I have a killer vegetarian philly cheese steak recipe that would knock the socks off you meat eaters

I'm no cook, but this woman has a few cookbooks out with great stuff in them. Some free recipes on her website, but you really should try a podcast or two of hers, very good stuff. Also, her vegan chocolate cake always turns out great too.

Plenty of cheese substitutes out there too when you are ready to make the leap.

yeah it wouldnt be that expensive to grow maybe 2or3 different foods maybe when i have a few extra bucks

I once worked at a slaughterhouse, shaving the excess meat off the back of hog's heads. They have different colored eyes just like us...some blue, some green, some brown....as I worked there and watched these heads going by, it really got to me, and I wondered, are we really going to eat all of this pork?Yes, I still eat meat. I'm omnivorous,and animal protein was something the ole ancestors used to get the bigger brains. I do love animals, and I think they should be humanely killed, and all parts of the body used.

its basically free man; this is the first year that i have tried to grow anything besides the herb, but next year, we plan to grow all of our own veggies and not have to buy any. veggie garden just takes a little work, the seeds can come out of veggies/fruits you buy allready, and sunshine and rain are free; you just have to do the labor of starting and maintaining a garden.

i agree with you stony about humane treatment and nothing being wasted as much as possible when any animal is killed. in a way like the indians use to use the buffalo(very good meat). anyways i plan to start a food garden i take the time for cannabis so my as well apply my knowledge to other plants

I started two gardens this year...one for food and one for fun...cant wait till my tomatoes are ripe so I can eat them right off the vine with some salt.

 

[bicycle racer]

they taste so much better also. this is odd the other day i was out riding and i saw this tomato plant growing out of the sidewalk where a puddle collected it was 20 inches tall or so and was growing tomatoes probably someone didnt want tomatoes on there burger and threw a slice/w seeds out the window "life will find a way" anyways i thought it was funny because it was quite big and doing well

The Buddha died in his eighties from eating a peice of rotten pork.

dude, i got no problem with you vegetarians and vegans, but saying the world would be a better place and all this shit... come on now look @ our teeth for instance, we were made to eat meat and greens. BOTH.

 

[ladieslovelmd2020]

A piece of rotten pork huh?

 

[Johnnyorganic]

We were not made, we evolved. Now our intellect allows us the option of removing meat from our diet. I've never heard a doctor say "Eat more red meat."

 

[gogrow]

reminds me of a george carlin line, "all you health nuts are gonna feel real f#$$in stupid, laying on your death bed, dying from nothing." lol

please dont take this as an opening for an argument, just thought is was funny; no malice in my words at all.
