    Heres a thread for all you fellow vegetarians or vegans. Post recipes, good websites, and anything related to the subject. Thinking about going Vegetarian or Vegan? Take a look at http://goveg.com/ or order a free veg starter kit at http://goveg.com/order.asp



    Mods: I searched the forums and found nothing, and if this thread dies really quick then feel free to close it, I'm not sure theres many veg/vegans in these forums.

    The only thing i really miss is General TSO's chicken and basically meat-based Chinese foods, but I can control my temptations because its a lifestyle choice that i've made and i'm going to stay true to it.

    ive been a vegetarian since birth. dont know what meat tastes like. im 15.


    its mad tempting and to be honest, the thing that most stops me now, is just that its like, im on a streak. cant stop now. ha.

    i fuckin hate tofu.

    i do eat fish eggs and dairy though.
    ovo-lacto-pesco-vegetarian.

    i feel that you shouldnt be able to eat something that you wouldnt have the balls to kill yourself. ive cought cleaned and cooked fish straight out of an ocean myself.

    it just pisses me off to no end the pricks who eat meat everyday. . . . and then when they hear abt some1 going deer hunting, they break down crying. what the fuck.

    wow are you my twin?

    its not the killing that upsets me, its the convience of super markets that upsets me
    i can kill a fish, thus i eat fish. i understand the life it gives for me

    somehow i think thats all forgotten when its wrapped in celifoam and suranwrap

    not true about the pasta, breads without dairy are easy to find that are inexpensive, you just have to slice them yourself. lots of the bread in the deli section, like certain rye breads are vegan, and not too expensive.

    annnnnnd living in montreal, it's waaay easier to be vegan. i'm in london ontario right now, and it kinda sucks.

    i'm vegan, or 99.99999999% vegan because i think it's nice. i dont' see the need to eat animals or their products. i just feel werid about it.

    i feel bad today, i bought a pair of leather shoes. i usually don't, i have a pair of hemp adidas, and i'm hoping to get a pair of IPaths soon, but i really hurt my foot and needed new shoes as a result. oh well.....

    fannypack is vegetarian, whoa, i like you, do you like me. msfyt, we'll have dinner some time in montreal, don't doubt it.

    i don't actually like when people who eat fish somehow refer to themselves as vegetarians. fish aren't vegetables.

    its the "i have a balaclava and a pair of boltcutters and i tell people im an activist" vegans that make my blood boil



    that and from a nutritional standpoint, veganism isnt good for you. like, if nature intended you to eat nothing that gives off a shadow you could do it an survive without taking vitamins or eating a head of lettuce every 5 minutes

    to get philisophical havik

    nature is a social construct. there isn't a clear definition of what nature/natural is.
