... is that I have to put up with the stupid question, "Well, then what do you eat?" I feel like this should be a given, no? I mean, a vegetarian is someone who doesn't eat meat, fish, or the…Continue

Comment by Mary Napier on July 4, 2012 at 1:32pm TFIOS finally put my reason for being a vegetarian into words "I try to lessen the amount of deaths I'm responsible for." I never knew how to say that. Whenever someone asks me why that's exactly what I say.

Comment by Sydney Carter on April 26, 2012 at 4:38pm hello! im a pescatarian due to a movie my 6th grade social studies teacher showed me(its called Animal Farm)
Comment by Kim Pate on March 28, 2012 at 10:39am Alaska: I totally understand the queasy. I was really surprised by how my mom handled it (quite well). In the beginning I offered to make dinner every evening so it didn't worry her about what I could and couldn't eat. My older sister however...She honestly doesn't know how to cook without butter much less meat or cheese.There are a lot of raw carrots when I visit her. ; )
Comment by Alaska Is Beautiful on March 27, 2012 at 10:55pm I've been a vegetarian since May 2011 when I finally stood up to my parents and told them my eating choices are my decisions. *Pride*
Kim: I never really liked meat to begin with. I'd eat it because my mom made me, but I neve liked any of it. I started not being able to eat meat with bones in it without feeling queasy and eventually just told myself that eating meat wasn't worth it. It took a lot of attempts, but I eventually made it to vegetarianism. I've never craved meat since before I became a vegetarian and probably never will.
Katherine: Yes, everyone gets scared to bring out their meat-filled sandwiches around me. Every day I have to explain to them that what's my choice is mine and I shouldn't let it affect others choices.
Rachel: I've been called hippie. But then again, I've been called that since before I became a vegetarian.
Comment by aj on March 27, 2012 at 7:21am i really used to but it faded with time.
Comment by Kim Pate on March 27, 2012 at 7:02am So, how much does anyone actually miss meat? I live in a place where BBQ is a food group so I was very surprised by my lack of cravings/withdrawal. The only thing I miss is my mom's meatballs because they were a major comfort food when I was growing up.
Comment by Chloe Amber on January 9, 2012 at 2:47pm I was born and raised a Vegetarian. On year 13 and feeling a sense of pride about it. :-)
Just saw "Forks Over Knives" on Netflix, my daughters are already Vegetarians. Looks like I'm a Vegan NOW!
