I dunno. It does seem i'm ill a lot recently but i just cant eat meat!

I dont suppose any of you know any tips do you? I thought i knew them all but obviously not!

Go BoP!!!!!

Just keep parmesan! If you dont feel guilty, then eat it! Its like that with me and parmasan and small amounts of melted cheese some of the time! But i am still a soya milk and cream person.

Do any of you know if there is a vegan alterantive to eggs? Because i hva eto make fairy cakes on friday and i dont want to use eggs.

Day 'I've lost count':

Boyfriend sabotaged my non-cheese eating diet, buy buying a spinach & feta filo pastry thingy from a turkish restaurant... Dammit. Didn't figure it out, until I was halfway through, & this was AFTER I asked if anything had cheese in it!!!

Possible day I've lost count +1 from the secret diary of BeardofPants:

Gave boyfriend to the meateaters. That'll teach him to feed me cheese! Will wait until he begs for mercy. Then stuff his face with salads. Go me.

That's terrible! Why did they do that? Do they not respect your rights as a vegetarian? Yuck! Poor you, you have my deepest sympathies... although, I fail to see how you fell for it; I can smell meat a mile away....


Day X +/- 5:

Had indian last night. BF ordered something with spinach and ricotta, kept offering it to me, that b*stard. Managed to resist. Yay for me.

I don't really understand what the fuss is about...

What I do understand is that for some people, eating meat can have a detrimental effect on the body. I have no problem with that, if it is indeed a purely physical problem.

But what if it isn't purely physical? What if it is physiological in nature, where the physical impact is made in conjunction with and resulting from certain chemical reactions in the brain?

What are instances of these chemical reactions? When somebody assigns value to something, it is a mental act. That person assigns a higher ethical value to cattle or sheep or chickens or whatever, than say, a plant.

By here is my point, and you will probably all disagree. Yay:

I am made up of a bunch of quarks. So are you. So is the plant. And the chicken.

Whats more, so is the air we breath, and the fumes we fart.

All these things are made up of atoms, and broken down, sub-atomic particles. Eventually, we come to the lower limit of scientific capabilities, and witness quarks. And leptons.

We are quarks and leptons. Get over it. You are just as quarky as your vegetables, or the person next to you.

Once people can come to this realization, they'll be eating whatever they want - be that flesh, paper, cardboard, metal, glass, plastic, gas, you name it!

If my own arm could grow back after being amputated, and it tasted really good (with the necessary marinades and spices - mmmmmmmmmmm, cooked or barbequed...), and the time taken to regrow the arm was minuscule, why should I not eat my own arm? Or my leg? Or phlegm? Or use my own bile as a gravy on roast cheek?

I spent ten minutes telling them i wasnt that gullible but it didnt smell at all meaty so (unfortunately) I decided to trust them.

I dont know why they did it. They basically think i'm incredibly stupid for not eating meat and thought it would be funny. well if seeing me rush to the toilets in an attempt to make myself sick was funny then congrats guys.

Yes, but on the flip side: why bother? I don't like it, therefore I make MY quarks avoid it like the plague.

Also: what's to stop you from eating yourself, your friends, your lovers, your dog, your computer, your fridge, your car, your road, your letterbox, your drink bottle....

Yes, everything has building blocks, but hominids have this thing called 'perception' - there are other names, as well, which I can't be arsed thinking of - and this is the tool in which we use to decide what is sensible for us to eat, i.e., most advantageous, and therefore determines our diet. So, I am NOT going to eat meat, because it makes me sick, and gives me diarrheoea. There's my chemical reaction, 'nuff said... probably too much in fact.... Get over it.


Aw, Strawberry, poor you! With friends like those.....!

If the value you place on these things is greater than the satisfaction of the taste of these items, you probably wouldn't voluntarily eat them. Drink bottles don't taste too good - stay away from those...

Don't penguins perceive things as well? And caterpillars? Or Mosquitoes?

Ah, smite me.

Since this is the vegetarian thread, I was referring ONLY to those of us (that is humans) who have chosen to not eat meat, but yes, smarty pants, other species have this perception as well, probably better than we do judging by the junk food we eat.

(And yes, stay away from the drink bottle, those plasticy bits between your teeth ain't nice.)

*BoP comes along & kicks Anduril's pasty backside until it collapses into his head.*

I have decided to incorporate feta into my diet again. It's just too hard to avoid. Was in my pizza tonite... *sigh*

*Anduril begs for more*

I had pizza yesterday. Tonight I will have half a chicken. It's not the one that was decapitated. I have never hewed any chickens' heads off.

Do you think that this is appropriate for the vegetarian thread, you dead flesh eater?

Why do you insert "dead" before flesh?

"M'kay guys! Better be sure that ol' Anduril over hear don't eat no living flesh, 'ight?

Sorry ma'am. Maybe I deserve punishment. Like last time...

Because it makes meat eaters sound more monstrous.
