Vegetarian

being sickeningly fashionable.
:lol:
...

and, of course, not consuming cute li'l animals.
 
also... if you insist... i would suggest talking to a dietician.... get the food combo's sorted, especcdially as far as replacing protiens is concerned... the combining of grains and pulses to substitute them... if you go vegan, what about calcium replacements.... can go on for days...
 
Honestly, I don't find being vegetarians have tremendous health benefits compared to people who eat both meat and veggies, respectively. But, I do enjoy vegetarian diet now and then since I'm a veggie lover. I know living in this era, you'll be criticized, questioned and stuff if u tell people that you're a vegetarian. But hey, put it at a different perspective, just tell people that you don't eat meat and prefer veggies. Its a personal preference. That's all. People don't need to know why u don't take meat. People just need to know that you don't take meat. Period.

Anyway, I know that didn't help at all in answering your question, its just that I pretty much know where this thread was heading.

Btw, Good luck!..|

What are other benefits of being a Vegetarian other than being healthy?


I'm thinking becoming one. :)

I'm a vegetarian (ovo-lacto actually). I became one after travelling through Omaha, NE and seeing the inhumane treatment of animals at the slaughter houses.

Vegetarians aren't, necessarily, healthier.

Reasons other than health include humanitarianism (that I mentioned above), environmental (it takes a lot of food and energy to produce a pound of meat, not to mention getting rid of the waste products), societal (feeding animals versus feeding people), and economic (as mentioned it takes a lot of food and energy to produce that pound of meat).

There are many excellent sources of protein other than meat, and that includes the many types of beans that are available.

All that said, there's certainly no good reason for you not to become a vegetarian.

recently I just did visit a slaughterhouse to see how the state of things is in them. i was fully aware that there is a high chance that i could become a vegetarian after that.
however i was really surprised how "humane" the slaughtering process is, and today - i still eat meat. but i think a bit more about it, and try not to eat too much (like when i already had meat that day, that should be enough). i am not sure how the laws are over there, but here they are pretty tight - and the guy showing us around explained us that it's in their own interest too stick to them or even be "better" than the laws, because even the last hours in an animals life have a tremendous influence on the taste of the meat.

It can be a good way to economize. Animal foods can be expensive, especially if one purchases exclusively natural/organic products(like I have) and as someone previously mentioned, it's good for the environment. There are also vanity reasons because being vegetarian can be good for the complexion.

I've been a "semi-vegetarian" for the past few months. I limit my intake of animal foods but haven't had red meat in 4 months. If I consume meat/poultry/seafood, it's natural/organic. I believe that makes a difference because these animals live healthier, non-toxic lives. There's no antibiotics, hormones, steroids or other potentially harmful additives in these products.

Some advice: If you do become vegetarian, make sure to get enough vitamin B-12. It's very important! You will most likely need to supplement(if you don't already) with it because there's only small amounts of B-12 in non-animal products. If you become vegetarian, do it in an intelligent way. Variety is the spice of life. Don't just live off of pasta or peanut butter and crackers. You need well-balanced meals or you can waste away. Last year, I went vegetarian for six months and got down to 125 pounds, underweight for my height. It was not good!

My protein is a concern, especially because of my low blood sugar but I've been getting enough from organic ground flaxseed meal, whole grains, the occasional Barilla multigrain pasta(high in protein), soymilk, organic dairy(yogurt, cheese), organic eggs, organic beans, tahini, peanut butter.

That's cute how you say animal foods. lol The whole purpose of me becoming a vegetarian is to lose weight, and working out. So if I get enough vitamins and proteins I should be fine. Which fruits and veggies have the most vitamins and other good things?
 
I'm not really into the shock tactics in that clip. I have no interest in converting people to vegetariianism just like carnivores shouldn't try and convert me.

It's a personal choice that I usually don't even bother to justify or discuss. My motivation is ethical., so the benefit for me is knowing that I'm doing "the right thing" (for me).
 
Vegetables do not contain cholesterol or fat--so they are good for heart health, as well as weight loss.

Just remember to have a lot of variety

One piece of advice that I've found useful is to make sure that your fruits and vegetables are a varieyty of different colors. Usually the color of the fruit/vegetable corresponds to an abundance of one or two particular nutrients. (Carotene, for example, which is converted into Vitamin A, has an orange color.)

Don't get all of your protein from soy. Whole grains are an important protein source, and if you're planning on going lacto-ovo, I'd recommend that you make low-fat dairy and whole eggs a regular part of your diet.
