Is anyone on here a vegitarian?Ive been giving some thought to trying to go vegitarian but not sure what the health positives/negatives are and what to substitute the meat in my diet with. Its not a decision iam making totaly down to animal welfare but also the fact that i hate the thought of eating meat pumped full of chemicals.

Im quite an active person, i used to box and although i dont compete i still try to train 2-3 times a week and ride MX twice a week so I dont want the decision to effect me physically too much.

Regards Shane.

 

Although i don't know much about it, i can't see how there could be any positives to being a vegitarian. As humans we are ment to eat meat and thats what we've been doing since day one, i don't like the thought of eating animals but just try to block it out.

 

If you buy quality meat from a proper butcher there ain't an issue, surely??

 

too right, eating meat is natural and we've always done it.

 

An ex of mine was a vegetarian...could never understand it myself as said its natural for humans to eat meat... his reasons were cos he "didnt like it" iirc he didn't as such replace with anything that would replace the nutrients etc of meat, he on the rare occasions would have "meat free" sausages, burgers etc, but majority of things he ate were pasta or vegetable based items...

IMO if you enjoy eating meat, but dislike due to the origin of the meat, find a local butcher and get it from there, find out where he gets the meat from and who his supplier is, do some research etc find out all you can etc, should be a bit easier for you to deal with rather than what you can pick up from the supermarket?

 

Shit idea alert

Imagine never having a bacon roll, turkey at xmas, even flipping mcdonalds ever again

Not for me in a katrillion years.

 

i used to be one. it was realy strange i just went off meat did not like the tast made me feal ill could not stand the smell all sorts of stuff realy

so i ended up not eating it from the age off around 14 till i was around 19 my sister has not eaten meat since she was 16 she is now 35. i did not eat any think else to supliment the lack of meat and neather does she tbh

im not sure why i started eating it agine realy i do love chicken now tho

i still have the nick name of veggieboy down the kebab shop tho

 

My wife is a veggie and the only positive is its a cheap night out at the harvester, salad bowl thank you very much

You could always become a secondary vegetarian like I am - I only eat vegetarian creatures!

 

exactly mate,

theres nothing better than a bacon roll for breakfast

 

Veggies are up there with pedophiles and rapists in my book.

 

Hateful, stinking tree-huggers!

Couldn't do without meat

 

Agreed!

I can kinda cope with the idea of someone being a vegetarian - but vegan - WTF! Aren't there also 'fruitarians' who only eat fruit that has fallen from trees, not picked too?? Now THAT'S weird!

 

Glad to see you still come across as a complete penis on the internet


My argument is, if we shouldn't eat fluffy little moo cows, why the fuck are they made from juicy steak!

Really don't understand the whole veggie sausage thing either, it looks like a sausage, it tastes like a sausage, so why dont you just eat a fucking sausage

 

Amen to that! If they opt out of the omnivorous lifestyle then Veggies should be banned from 'pretend' meats!

 

vegies that eat "vegitarian" haggis, "vegitarian" bacon "vegitarian" beef ect it just pisses me if your going to eat a vegi supplement that looks, smells and tastes like the real thing stop lining some hippy pikey scumbags pocket and buy the real thing and help a farmer allong

 

the dont tho, they taste of shat!

the wife is a veggie and has been for about 15 years.

the quorn sausages/burgers/bacon are all fucking awful.

the mince and chicken pieces arnt too bad tho.

we were round a friends for a BBQ today, it was fucking great tucking into some juicy lamb lol

 

You'll never be a healthy active sporty person AND a veggie IMO

Technically possible, realistically not

 

recon if we manage to start a roumor that eating vegie food had been medicaly linked to obeasity, small penises and small tits we can reduce the ammount of vegies because some of them are insecure mother fuckers???

 

When ever I have bbq or dinner party and a veggie comes ( wifes friends not mine! ) they request veggie food

Is it ok to go to their house and insist on meat for dinner?

 

hmmmmmm need to befrend a vegie to find out

 

just tell them to bring their own and you will cook it.

then slap it down next to the steak, they fucking love that

 

Our teeth are the wrong shape to be vegetarians - we are built to be carnivores.

 

It's perfectly possible to be active and a vegetarian. I was vegie for 13 years and for say 8 years I was very active. BMXing an hour every day, swimming 3 times a week, climbing once a week etc.. The only thing I really lacked is Iron. Plenty of protein from Quorn or meat supplements (even if the burgers and sausages are cardboard).

 

...Mike Tyson was, and many many other athletes.

 

Q.E.D

 

I never said impossible, but you must remember these althetes probably have some of their respective nations best physicians and dieticians advising and monitoring them

Average Joe doesnt, which was my point to the OP

 

What kind of vegetable was Evander Holyfields ear then?









Oh and AFAIK he's ONLY just turned Vegan now he's not an athlete

 

PPS the only 'atletes' i can find are Martina Navratilova and Billie Jean King, both females fueled by abnormal levels of testosterone and Carl Lewis and Ed Moses, both widely reputed to have been fueled by steroids.

 

Was he fuck!

 

This is a car forum isn't it?

Turn in yer man card

 

Is that some sort of bastard breed between a bull and a sheep?

 

I love a good steak, sausage/bacon roll......chicken burger blah blah.

My pal said the other night "oh i'll cook you something on Monday, how does quorn nacho's sound?" she's a veggie, doesnt mean I am...grr

Anyone tried that shit? she reckons her other mate doesnt eat mince now because quorn tastes better...find that hard to believe!

 

lol'd

 

If God had meant us to be vegitarians why did he make animals out of meat?

 

I have eaten quorn mince before, to be honest its not too bad. Massive amounts of salt in it though, certainly wouldn't want to eat it regularly!

 

LMFAO!

 

yeh ill agree with ya there, the quorn mince is ok, and the chicken style pieces are alright, obviously not the same as the real thing, but they aint bad!

 

i thought you could eat wafer thin ham if you are a veggie?......lol
