I do eat meat, but I am what you could call a partial vegetarian. I just don't stick to it all the time. Sometimes I am very hungry for meat, or poultry, or eggs, milk, etc. Anyway, about 75% of my week, I am eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, legumes, etc. Then, like I said, my body craves meat, poultry, or fish, and I feed it.

Are you a vegetarian, and for how long?

I couldn't imagine just eatting veggies. I am a very hardcore meat person. I have to have a meat on every meal. I guess some people can do it but I can't.

I am doing better eatting veggies and fruits with my meals. I cut back portion sizes.

I'm not a vegetarian, couldn't do without my bacon and sausages LOL.

I can't live without meat
Though I am eating more salads
About two or three times a week.

Yes -- I eat meat. However, I do not think it's needed for every meal.

Those who don't eat meat have their reasons, and they're to be respected for it, not made fun of.

I'm a meat eater here.....I don't eat much of the red meats. Mostly I'll eat chicken, turkey and fish.

I almost wish I could discipline myself to be a vegetarian. Atleast for a little bit. I imagine its a healthy thing to do

I don't eat red meat or pork as much as I use to. I'm trying to eat more fruits and vegetables as well as fish and chicken. I tried being a vegetarian and lasted 22 days. I wasn't planning my menus very carefully and was lacking protein.

We're vegetarian - not vegan (we eat dairy)

My reaons are basically "diet for a small planet" type of values. I don't think a meat based diet is a good use of our resources. Secondary to that concern is health-I don't believe meat of any kind to be very healthy for us. Third, I think mass production of meat (and most dairy) is cruel to the animals used. Oh.. and one more thing.. meat is EXPENSIVE!!

We don't use a lot of dairy but the dairy we eat is almost always small farm organic. (As is our produce)

I am trying to eat salads twice a week
Because I need to keep my choloestrol low
As much as possible.

I am a newbie to vegetarianism. I choose vegetaranism for wellness after experiencieng a number of illnesses. I started with the elimination of red meat which was really easy. I never thought that I would be able to leave a cheeseburger....however after almost 2 years-I am a proud vegetarian who dabbles with raw food from time to time. As a result, I have't had a cold or flu and I feel great. It is a process. And I do not preach the diet change to others; it is a personal choice.

I sometimes feel sick on my stomache after eating meat. I've slacked off a lot. In fact, we didn't have meat for supper tonight. It's the first time in a VERY long time! I did stick some cream of chicken in my squash casserole, though. My hubby & son love meat so there's no way we'd be veggers.

I'm not a veggie per ce, but I don't eat a lot of meat on the whole, and when I eat out I will usually opt for the veggie option.

I love pasta

I have to eat salads at least twice a week
Have been trying to do that since my cholestrol was near 200 in 2004!
