My vegetarian girlfriend disagree on this, just wanted to hear what other people think. And I’m only talking about one or the other, if anyone says a balanced diet is best they get a thumbs down, that’s just stating the obvious.

I’m becoming a vegetarian because i saw some really disgusting videos, like this one:

So no-one can convince me that eating meat is okay, because it isn’t going to happen.
So can someone tell me what i need to take to keep myself healty and what other things i can eat to replace the protein in meat? thankyou

The problem is that I work out quite a lot and don’t want to be really skinny. How do vegetarians get their protein? I want to do this because when I eat meat now, it just doesn’t feel right and I think a lot about the process of how it got onto my plate. Do you get ill more often as well? Or is that just a myth? Thanks.

I’ve heard that long practicing vegetarians don’t look as old as they are. Any proof of this?

I’m looking for simple recipes and stuff that’s easy to cook.
Wow! so many good sites guys.
Thanks everyone

Was it one profound moment or was it something you read or watched? I read just one book called Eating Animals by Jonathan Foer Safran after which I stopped eating meat. I’d like to read or watch more like this, i.e. unbiased (in my opinion!). Love to hear if you’d like to share. Thanks

I am interested in becoming a vegan because I have lupus and the benefits of becoming a vegan with my condition are supposed to be great. I would still eat fish.
Sorry i guess i wouldn’t be a vegan, I’d be a pesco-vegan. Sorry about that.

Given what you know about the energy relationships between trophic levels in a food pyramid, why do some people think that there would be less starvation in the world if more people were vegetarian?

are there any medical reasons for people to not go on a vegetarian diet? if so, what are some of those reasons related to health?

please also share personal experience if possible…

thanks
also, what about those who have illnesses?

My mom doesn’t exactly know I wanna be a vegetarian yet. But I have mentioned the idea to her before, and she shut it down immedietly! But I wanna still eat seafood, milk and eggs. Any tips to become vegetarian and to tell my mom?
