Well I’m currently sick of what I’ve been eating. I mean, it’s good and all..but..I’m craving something..different. Anyone know any good vegetarian recipes for dinner? Preferably something with noodles..that sounds really good right now. If you’re going to give me a link, please give a direct link, not to some site with recipes. I’ve already searched up a lot of different sites and haven’t found anything that sounds good to me. Thanks in advance. ;3
Yeah, I can make pizza..but..it’s too normal for me.
Thanks guys! I decided to just throw some noodles in a pot with some veggies. I’m gonna add some fake chicken to it too. and top it off with some mozzarella.
I know I shouldn’t, because I’m trying to switch to vegan..but I’m taking it slow. thanks! More ideas are loved <3

My parents aren’t supportive of my diet, or at least they won’t go out of their way on the grocery list. So how do I have a balanced diet on basic stuff? will fruit and dairy products work?

I love to eat meat, but i have always wondered if i can lose weight by not eating it…

Doesn’t that cancel out the theory put forth by the libs that vegetarianism is a peaceful alternative. The sickest mass murderer of all time was a vegetarian, so much for your theories about vegetarianism and a more peaceful world. Now excuse me while I enjoy my steak and don’t go out and kill six million Jews. Once again, libs caught in a lie!

What would be the easiest way to slowly make that transition?

I’m considering becoming Vegan, but I don’t know how to do it in a healthy way.I know there are certain things your body needs to be healthy..What do I replace meat,dairy ect..with?

I have eaten meat all my life, however in recent years have become more open to the arguments of why vegetarianism may be the way to go. I am a lover of all things, especially animals and there have always been certain meats that I refuse to eat. Now I am considering cutting out the more general meats as well such as chicken and beef, because of my belief that we should not decide what lives and what dies. I am wondering why other people have decided to make the switch?

I am now vegetarian, and I want to know how long it takes for your body to get used to not eating meat.

I am leaving home for camp, and I don’t want to take risks of possibilities of eating meat again, but I also want to not get hungry on hikes.

By this I mean, how long does it take to get to the point where if you eat meat again after being vegetarian, you feel sick?
I still don’t want to have an upset stomach, and medication I can take while there is very limited.

I’ve been thinking about becoming vegetarian a lot lately. About a week ago I started (with a friend) not eating meat for ‘choice meals’ (lol) – so not for lunch basically, but still eating what we are given for dinner. Mainly this was to kind of fade into being vegetarian, and so our friends/family don’t think we are mental. But maybe this was a crazy idea and we should just tell them and get on with it? Any tips on doing that? (We are 18) How to tell our parents? How to make it so our meal doesn’t have to be completely separate? Is there any important things, like supplements/vitamins we should know about?

And on another note, I originally was going to start with still eating fish/milk and stuff, but now I’ve seen a movie showing how bad these industries are too … dammit. But one thing I’m still not entirely convinced to turn off is like, backyard grown eggs, whats wrong with them? If they lived in a substantial cage, and they are laying ther eggs anyway …
Okay, some questions/comments on your answers:

How would gelatin/rennet be labeled on things? Is their different forms of them with different names?

How can you tell if vegetables are *fresh* or ‘dead’ when you buy them? Do you need to cook them in a special way? Is there a limit on how long to store them before they ‘die’?

Stale urine smell/taste? What the? *People* smell like stale urine? How does that work? That is strange, I’m lucky I drink lots of water. LOL.

‘Iluvmileycyrus’: I’ve considered this, and I know it will not make a difference, but every time you eat meat you are eating an animal that probably lived a horrible life, just to be your dinner. This definately puts me off, if not you, then so be it. But the thing that really turned me was a quote I found:

"But for the sake of some little mouthful of flesh we deprive a soul of the sun and light, and of that proportion of life and time it had been born into the world to enjoy."
-Plutarch (AD120)

I found, right next to the ‘fresh’ chicken, pre-prepared chicken slices with breaded seasoning etc. ready to take home and cook. They looked exactly like chicken, but actually were fake vegan chicken slices! It didn’t even say ‘vegan’, but the ingredients spoke for themselves. I wonder if the staff didn’t realize or if this is a new product display method. The meat and dairy companies have been fighting very hard and diligently to keep the dairy alternatives such as soy milk, soy cheeses, soy yoghurt away from their products; tofu has to be kept away in the deli section with fake meats etc., but in recent years they’ve been losing since they getting closer or even mixed together (I know dairy companies now make soy drinks & yoghurt… hm… perhaps they have started making fake meats too, planning ahead).

Have you noticed? Where you shop, are they separate? I think the closer they get to each other, the more interchangeable they will become; it’s a good thing. What do you think?
abercrombie… weeeell thought out answer.

Everyone else, thanks I will have to *think* before choosing a best answer.
