I had stuffed bell peppers from trader joes, a baked potatoe with just pepper and chives (no butter or sour cream) and a ceasar salad. It was actually pretty good. But I have not had a meal sans meat, poultry, fish in years. It was nice and all but I don't think I could give up meat forever. Just thought I'd share. Carnivores, I challenge you to go meatless for one meal just to see how it feels. Vegetarians- Eat a steak.

as a vegetarian..i am proud of you..

I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat much meat or poultry. If I didn't love chicken so much, I would be a vegetarian

You ate our Anx?

For real? That is NOT healthy
You just discovered you're an omnivore?

EVERYONE is leaving the org! damn!

I do meatless all the time espcially if there is pasta involved. I can have a bowl of just rice and be happy. What's hard for me is going carbless, now that is pretty much impossible for me.

he said it was a mercy killing...it's dark in here...hey, look, it's zelaira! hay baby!

karmatornado said:

i don't even think of myself as vegetarian anymore. i just instinctively don't eat meat anymore, it's just a force of habit. i just like interesting, tasty food, preferably drowned in chinese hot sauce!

going w/out meat is pretty cool. It really moves weight off...i've noticed. That soy stuff you get at a grocer is pretty good too.

I could totally go meatless. But couldn't go w/out dairy or cheese.

but when i did the no meat thing..i really didn't miss meat...except a nathan's frank!! and maybe a chicken sammich. I'm totally down w/ no meat

yeah, lotsa carbs have to die to make my dinner, unfortunately.

i like a simple bowl of rice for a meal too, now and then. that with a cup of really yummy tea can really hit the spot at times.

Caesar salad isn't quite vegan, though, is it?

NDRU said:

nope. anchovies. they make veggie caesar salad mix, but it was never a favorite of mine anyway. i'm happy with a simple three-greens salad and a good vinagrette. but you're close!

Anxiety said:

I never liked it before, but it's become one of my favorites

Even w/o anchovies, the dressing is cream based, too, right? Also parmassean cheese.

To be fair, I guess he never claimed it was vegan.

Anxiety said:

ZEL!

let her have a turn on that laptop he downed too, anx, you know everyone's dying to hear from her

NDRU said:

yeah, it's got a lot of dairy going on. i don't pay as much attention to that being that i'm a strict vegetarian and not vegan...well, i'm kind of a vegan tourist...i am to veganism as people are to vegetarianism who say "i don't eat meat...except sometimes i need to have a cheeseburger!"

Anxiety said:

right, "I don't eat meat, just fish"

NDRU said:

Not the same at all

PANDURITO said:

what's not the same?

NDRU said:

Carne y pescado

PANDURITO said:

they're different, but aren't they both dead animal flesh?

Yes, I was talking from an omnivorous point of view though, but I see your point

Anxiety said:

I think I could live on spanish rice alone thats how much I like it

PANDURITO said:

There's a lot of different ways to look at it, I guess, and alot of different reasons to eat (not eat) stuff.

PANDURITO said:

ay dios...MATAN AL ANIMAL!! TOVIA!

You don't expect me to eat them alive!

PANDURITO said:

welll i don't eat them so there!!

evenstar3 said:

You know Zel was pretty tasty, Anx had a good initial flavor but a weird aftertaste. Plus he gave me heartburn and gas. i shoulda had some beeno!

I think vegetarianism is like carbon offsetting. If someone doesn't eat their meat us meat eaters can buy their share of meat at a higher price and indulge guilt free

wow.
