eating styles

[wickedlizard]

what sort of food do you eat?

[FeatherGoblinglimmer]

well loads of stuff. why don't you narrow it down a bit, it's a very broad question((()))

[FeatherGoblinglimmer]

ignore that, the poll just came up

[FeatherGoblinglimmer]

i'm a meat eater, although i mainly eat vegetarian stuff as my partner is vegetarian

[wickedlizard]

why are you ripped apart inside? sorry to wander from the subject but the visual sense of your avatar´s phrase is so sad.

[wickedlizard]

i´m suposed to be vegetarian, but am drawn to meat on occasion.

[FaerieGothMommy]

meat all the way :hehehehe:

[wickedlizard]

[Scarlettvixen]

[VelvetBlade]

[Sylvan]

One word: Cheeseburger. :D

[Vuthiel]

I'm an omnivore. I enjoy salad just as much as a thick steak. Generally, though, my diet consists of pasta and bread, since it's what's around the house. My fiance works at a bakery and brings home stuff (I just loooove bischotti!), and pasta's pretty cheap and easy to make. More often than not, we have spaghetti and bischotti for dinner (which is fine by me since it's my favorite!). When we're not having that, we generally have chicken parmesian. :D

[Xentor]

I'm an eclectic vegatarian.

If presented the choice, I'll eat vegetables.
If not, I'll eat anything to survive.

[FeatherGoblinglimmer]

It's alright Wicked lizard.I don't mind. I don't want to hijack the thread with my problems. I have posted a thread in energy requests to ask for help with my predicament and you can find out whats wrong there. It would take to long to write out again anyway.

[Eldric_Dragonsblood]

I picked other....I eat whatever I feel like at the moment...

[SilentStarWolf]

I definitely eat both meat and veggies.

[mol]

Meat!

[wickedlizard]

where´s the beef!!!:floating:


remember those commercials? i used to love that old lady.

[Pesha]

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheesebuger.......chips.

No coke only pepsi.........!

[Drisel]

I like meat! But certain veggies are nice too. There are days I'm sure my family thinks I'm trying to kill them by getting some veggies into their systems. I have to remind them that not all green things that come out of the fridge are bad to eat!

[Flaire-FireStar]

Carbohydrates......... :shaker: :( But they're bad.

I eat fish (does that really count as meat???)

[Old Witch]

Anything that doesn't eat me first........

[Mindflayer]

"If we weren't meant to eat animals, they wouldn't be made of meat!"



and they wouldn't taste so good :D

[Kaylara]

Mmmmmmmmmm Meat........

[Jenne]

I eat meat and veggies, though my passion is pasta--which is shown plainly in my thighs, lol!

[MoonDust]

Meat!

[twisted_silhouette]

Vegetarian... SAVE THE COWS!!(and all the other animals)! :dinnertim
I wanted to just STOP eating alltogether, so I could save plants as well, but that never really worked for me, so I just decided to avoid consuming foods (meat) that I didn't like the taste of. If it were my way, I ould never eat or drink anything.

Twisted Silhouette

[Lunacie]

CHOCOLATE !

And, um, other stuff.

:lol:

[Xentor]

Yeah, TS. Eating means killing something else, no matter if it sits still or walks around.

That's the part I never understood in vegetarians, the principle of not wanting to kill another living being. What about plants? They're alive as well! Good to see some vegetarians understand that.

Well, TS, you have little choice. You have to eat and humans only burn organics. Unless of course you learn to live of light and air alone...

[Gala]

I loik beans!
Beans beans the musical fruit
The more you eat
The more you toot!!!

I like meat too, and veggies and fruit, and candy and cake and ICE CREAM

[SylverStar]

well I sometimes consider my self vegitarian and sometimes not. I'm pesco-vegitarian (I eat seafood but no other meats). Depends who I'm talking to I guess. I live in the PNW so finding seafood is not hard, being vegan however is in my town. I just love tofu though. I probably only eat seafood once a week though.

[nomadicdragon]

I LIKE MEAT. seriously, i tried be vegetarian, and I had been one for 2 days and I forgot and ate chicken. :) Talk about will power.

[MoonDust]

I was a vegiterian for about 2 years... I met a cow for the first time and I couldn't look at a burger the same way... then one day I just couldn't take it any more! I was at a cousins BBQ and the smell of grilling burgers.... I built the largest burger I'd ever had... and ate two of them.

[Mindflayer]

I see farm animals a lot like crops...


they are grown and raised with the ultimate goal of becoming food

that is their purpose, I have no problem with killing an animal for food (I HATE hunting for sport/trophies)

Now, if you hunt a deer, and it feeds you and you put most of it to use (Skin/organs/etc) then sure, have a antler on your mantle, but just killing something for a trophy...grrrrrrrrrr)

[Flar's Freyja]

Cookin' pot roast and potatoes right now..............

I tried vegetarianism a long time ago and got very sick and very fat. Since then, I've learned that different body types and metabolisms need different kinds of diets. I also just read something that suggests that vegan women will have more difficulty during menopause.

[Chibi-Fallon]

I've got a couple buddies who are firm anti-vegitarians, and I've got some leanings that way. If you're doing it for the health (or religious) reasons fine, but if it's for the animals, you're not impacting squat by not eating them, and don't try and tell me they don't taste good cause they do. :dinnertim

[Gala]

Both of my kids are vegetarians and their respective mates, I was for about 4 months this year but quit. It wasn't really that hard for me not to eat meat. The hard part is here at the house. My husband and I live in an upstairs apartment of my parents house and we share most of our meals, it's just easier that way and my mom "gets to help". But even it it weren't for them my husband is a firm carnivore. I do love meat, but I could be a semi vegitarian. In fact I still eat those morning star grillers. I like them.

[amathera]

If we weren't supposed to eat animals, they shouldn't have been made out of meat. GO COWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mindflayer]

If we weren't supposed to eat animals, they shouldn't have been made out of meat. GO COWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I already said that!


You stole my line!!!!!!!!



hehehehe :)

[SylverStar]

Does that mean we should eat humans because there made out of meat? (you can interpret that however you want :smoke: )

[Mindflayer]

Well, I wouldn't say "should" but we deffinately "could"


not that I "would" :p


(hehe rhyming is fun :D)

[Angel,too]

I find myself being an "Other" for this poll, too.

I'm not a vegetarian because I do eat Lamb and Poultry. But we don't eat beef or pork at all. Generally we eat a lot of Seafood and Veggies...and rice. I love wild rice, especially.

Peace,
Angel :halohead:

[Élistariel]

It'd take forever to tell what I ate, so I'll tell what I don't eat. I tried being a vegetarian, but the food gave me unbelievable indigestion. I need my chickens and cheeseburgers. Well that and the only vegetarian bacon here tastes worse than old shoelaces. :sick: I eat meat, mainly chicken and cows, but I am extremely picky. If I see a vein, the meat gets wasted and I will not touch it. :blech: I hate bones in my food, unless it is a chicken leg or wing. I don't eat any seafood, I rarely eat tuna, then only if it is mixed with globs of mayo and in a toasted sandwich. I'm not to fond of tomatoes, I'll eat them sometimes. I hate cauliflower. :lol: , don't need to make a list of food I hate, it'd take to long. The only nuts I like are cashews. Oh, and I can't eat raw onions. I can however live for 3 days on nothing but tea and cheesey poofs. And I probably don't need to go into the strange looks I get when I put not only butter on my rice, but 5 or more packs of sugar. Try it, it's good!
SUGAR ON RICE! :woot: Oh and I hate cheerwine. And caffeinated drinks make me fall asleep. I drink a rootbeer and I'm out cold. Has any ever seen those Frappaccino commercials, about how they help you to relax? Yeah, well I drink 4 and I'm boucin' off the walls from 10am thursday to 9am friday. :caffeine:

[DragonLove]

I'll eat poultry and fish but havent touched other meats in over 10 years. I prefer veggies over meats though

[Vuthiel]

I was a vegiterian for about 2 years... I met a cow for the first time and I couldn't look at a burger the same way... then one day I just couldn't take it any more! I was at a cousins BBQ and the smell of grilling burgers.... I built the largest burger I'd ever had... and ate two of them.

Living in Vermont, a state with more cows than people, I kind of got desensitized to the killing of animals for food. Cows are amazing animals, they're smart and sensitive, and very loyal... but, I'm sure if they could/needed to, they'd eat us... it's just a part of life, imo. Living on a farm, you see a lot of gruesome stuff, but death is just another part of life. I enjoy the animals while they're still alive... petting, grooming, and spending time with them... and then thank them for their sacrifice when it's time to enjoy them on my dinner plate. *shrug* I wish we could live like plants.... feeding off light from the sun and water, but we just weren't made that way. =/

[Darkstaff]

Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheesebuger.......chips.

No coke only pepsi.........!

BB

LMAO Dragonsinger! "Two pepsi, one chip!"

I love that skit!

I am a "Seefood" type of eater! I see it, I eat it!

[Xentor]

Not quite. Plants need furtiliser, and use anything that rots as such. Much like we digest organic stuff. They don't exactly live of air either. They inhale carbondioxide, the stuff we exhale. Yes, sun they do need. But we do as well! Humans and plants have got a lot more in common than you'd might think!

[Cev'aq]

I'm a meat and potatoes girl all the way!

[Aidron]

I voted vegeterian, though I am an Ovo-Lacto Vegeterian to be specific, whom secretly wishes to be a vegan.

Do not get me wrong, though, for I am not a vegeterian out of belief that nothing should be harmed, or killed.

In fact, there are many people AND animals I'd like to run over with my car. You know the type. The ones that are forever clawing at you.... and that's just the guys I know, don't even get me started on animals.

I simply find it repulsive to put the rotting flesh of another being in my body. No, it's not rotting in any obscene way, but technically, when something dies it begins to decompose, plain and simple, despite preservation methods. Everything decomposes eventually. Well, most everything. Evil styrofoam doesn't, but that's neither here nor there.

The whole concept of putting the decomposing flesh of another being in my body quite honestly makes me nauseous.

Plus, I do not trust anyone, least of all coorperate America, and I gurantee you that 99.9% of all meat sold has additives and other nasty things in it. I don't want those in my body.

Then there is the side of me who disagrees with how animals are treated to obtain their meat, not the act of killing them. It's fine to hunt or kill another animal to survive in my opinion, that's basic nature, and humans have evolved to be omnivores, so it is what we were meant to be from an evolutionary stand point. Still, the way mankind goes about acquiring the meat from other animals sickens me. They mistreat them in ways you could not possibly even imagine, and that disrespect for life in general pisses me off.

[DixieWitch]

My downfall is there isn't much I won't eat. It's probably part of teh reason I am 30 pounds overweight. I almsot became vegetarian after doing the Atkins diet for 3 wks. I lsot weight but I also ate so much meat, I walked around either mooing, oinking or clucking!!

LOL Rowan!

We need to get off those fad diets that work only when you eliminate an entire food group from your diet.

I love this kids samhain ritual I saw on a pagan parent site. It thanks the animals for their sacrifice for the year. And if you live with an animal companion, you give them their supper first, before your feast :) kind of puts things back in perspective.

[Sagittarius]

I would love to say I was a vegetarian but I love my meat too much and besides, I did go nearly a year without meat but I felt drained and tired all the time.

I eat practically anything, bar beef, eggs and avocados, which make me want to throw just thinking about them.

I love Indian, Chinese, Italian, Nepalese and Traditional UK foods. My favourite dish is Roast Lamb with roast potatoes, vegetables, lashings of gravy and all the trimmings.

My favourite dessert is Apple Crumble with Cornish dairy ice cream. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

[FlyingBear]

YAY Food :lol:

I have an extensive range of what I'll eat. Hence my behind! Go me! :bouncysmi

But that's ok, I love to cook and try new things. I love sushi, although I can't touch anything raw while I'm pregnant. Boi! That's been a toughie. Lemme tell ya that keeping the bear away from the fish has been a new excerise in madness over here. ;)

Although I do enjoy the occasional cut of cow flesh, for the most part the stuff makes me extremely ill. I'll spare you the details but trust me when I tell you that it's just not worth the end results. :sick: And it's not so much the actual meat itself, but all the crap that goes into the beef to keep it 'healthy'. Ie: Hormones, antibiotics, etc. I've tried the organic, free range beef with better results but the stuff tends to be too expensive to afford so I just go without. I grew up on game meat; venison, bear, moose, elk, mountain goat, etc so that's what I prefer.

Love veggies and fruit, although mealy apples are one of those textures that has me running for the bathroom. * shudder* Slimy lettuce too. EEWW!

I *loathe* fast food. It's one of those things that I absolutely refuse to eat.

For six months I tried the no animal products period lifestyle. Granted I lost 60 pounds, but I was constantly riding my bike and working out like a fiend. I *hated* myself and everyone by the end of that time. I was in this rage, I'm not even sure how to describe it. :grrrrr: I was constantly hungry, always eating and never feeling fed. I would get so bad I would go to sleep in pain and crying and wake up thinking about food. My day was lived one meal to the next. It was *really* bad. I really thought I was going to totally go off the deep end a couple of times there. Not fun! I know it's worked for alot of people but I was not one of them. Just way too damn hard on me.

Just let me swat the fish outta the river and I'll be content!

:floating:

[Ceryni]

Tho eating a bit more vegi food now as one of my housemates is a vegi and loves to cook

[kewlhippiechick]

I used to be a vegan, then went to eating a bit of chicken and fish...now I'm back to full on carnivore...(sigh). I felt better when I wasn't eating meat. Gotta get back there again!

[DayDreamer]

I am an omnivore. I eat meat AND veggies.

[April]

Meat eater here, sometimes have to stop eating anything with meat in it to give my tummy a break though.

[true sadness]

im vegetarian.
For about a year I was vegan. I felt so clean and so.... healthy when I was. then my boyfriend got me eating icecream... and it all just fell apart from there. After I stopped being vegan I gained 10 pounds... :(
So I think I'm going to back to being vegan... to be thinner (i know that sounds bad, but I want to be the same size i was when i met my boyfriend....)
But i can't eat meat because it makes me sick. I know that it's psychosomatic, but the thought of eating meat, even the smell of it sickens me.

[silmarien]

I eat anything exept mushrooms and sea-food. Mushrooms are my worst enemy :sick:

[dragoonlady]

I went a couple years also as a vegan but as someone else said, I felt tired and didn't have energy at all, I was always hungry too.
I craved steak all the time! LOL!
Now, I eat what I want, if that means steak, I eat steak, if i want something with just veggies, I eat it.

:cheers:

[WynterWynd]

I picked 'other' since I'm a meat and vegi girl!

[Casanite]

I'll eat anything that tastes good....

[Koehnae]

I picked vegeatarian, because thats what I am most of the time. It started out as a health choice best for someone with a genetic cholesterol disorder, but as I've read more I've found even better reasons for my choice.

[Autumn Clair]

I eat a lot of veggies and fruits. They build up the immune system. Over the past 5 years I've had a history of chest pains and with all the tests they did they found I was a high risk for blood clots and it could be may be for chest pains, muscle spasm or heart contraction or heart lining deals but they all loved throwing meds at me. I have allergies to med. to many to count that means my body doesn't like outside substances.
This past June I read about a Doctor who actually said we don't need prescriptions to get healthy and stay healthy.
I took myself off the meds my doctors said I had to stay on for life and I'm symptom free. I can find everything my body needs in the foods I eat. No more chest pains, migraines, fatigue and pills.
When you take a look at what you eat you'll find out just how much what you eat matters. Now I'm not a health freak I still have a beer,eat chips,and fast food. But I make sure my body gets what it needs to keep me off medication through the foods I eat.

[Kalika]

I eat mostly veggies, fruits, cheeses and grains...

But once in awhile I do eat chicken, pork, and beef....
