i am. was raised one, since have tried meat and don't get the attraction.
never developed a taste for it and have no desire to go out of my way to do so.

I've been a vegetarian since I was about 6. My family was a omnivorous until a few years ago so I had a lot of pressure to start eating meat again. Holding out was no sissy thing....

Is it a lot cheaper? Maybe I could talk my kids into giving up meat, seems like I'd save a bundle. Though the cat might not last long...

No, it's not cheap, I hardly ever buy meat, but quality fruit and vegetables aren't particularly cheap.
I'm Indian but also Punjabi and the joke goes that the national birds for Punjab is the Tandoori Chicken.
I consider eggs vegetarian because they are unfertilized which makes them no different than milk (to me).

oi vegetarians are going against what our kind was supposed to do. don't you vegetarians and vegans have to take like... different vitamins to make up for what you dont get in meat?
man, if it weren't for science, you'd be dead. you people are anti-human evolution. hell, science and their surgeries and medicines are preventing evolution by taking us back. i support science and modern marvels, but also look at how it IS preventing the next step in our evolution. think of it this way: in a natural habitat of our ancestry (caveman like humans), bad eye sight would see you not eating. color blindness might have you eating things that could kill you. other genetic defects would hinder your life, and thus you die and don't pass on your genes. now, we have all these problems that wouldn't even be around if it weren't for science providing fixes, or society providing work-arounds. color-blindness isn't likely to kill anyone because society doesn't necessarily help in any scientific way, but they are there to lend a helping hand when coordinating.
however, bad eye sight... if there weren't glasses, you wouldn't get far. things like that are passed on and now a LOT of society has vision problems that wouldn't be there if we didn't have fixes.
don't think im scientologist though.. i hate them bastards. i look at things from many angles.. i for one, like my glasses/contacts.. now only if they could fix my damned color defeciency.

considering i've been a veggie (lacto ovo) for over 99% of my life (currently 41 yrs of age) and have hardly ever taken supplements i don't know where you get your "facts" from but the fact is, i am alive and very healthy.
Seriously. People will go through a lot of effort making up fake evidence for no other purpose than to make fun of someone else's lifestyle.

the part about not getting the necessary vitamins from meat? That was something I wasn't sure of, thus why it was posed as a question. The rest of that post? Something I feel, but but carefully researching what evolution is, and looking at our history, its not hard to come to that conclusion.
either way, I think veggies are well... not bright. Sure I understand the idea of not hurting animals, but um... its called being an animal ourselves. animals eat animals. sure, some animals don't.. but they aren't our species of animal. I look at it that way, the same way that being a veggie back in the day of caves wouldn't have worked out, because you didn't see the variety of plantlife that could sustain you. Now, we have supermarkets that provide the different plants necessary so a veggie can sustain themselves by getting their nutrients from the required plants.
do I think its some kind of sin? hell no, I don't believe in religion or sin at all, or a creator. That's besides the point. I view that its in our history as an animal and should stay that way. It seems wrong not to eat what we are meant to eat. We aren't at the top of the foodchain for the hell of it.
but go on eating veggies.. you eat the veggies I don't eat and leave me the animals I want to eat.
I don't make things up, nor do I poke fun at veggies. I just think something is wrong with them. But I don't point and laugh at them.

:roll:
you think something is "wrong" with them and yet NONE of the reasons you quoted apply to me, look back at my first post, i was RAISED a veggie by my parents (not my choice) when i went out on my own and HAD the choice, i tried meat and found it NOT to my LIKING.
WTF do you think you are to dictate what a person should or should not like?
Yes, you're right. We should only eat things that cavement ate. To eat any different than we ate a million years ago would impede human evolution.
Your argument is ridiculous. Nevermind the fact that you're a total hypocrite if you eat anything that wasn't available to prehistoric humans. You know, like packaged foods.
Is your only reason for vegetarians being "not bright", because thier diet isn't what cavemen ate? Like I said, it's a pretty ridiculous argument.
