For those who aren't already, could you be a vegetarian?

i just couldn't do it, I am a carnivore and usually in 99% of my meals meat is the centerpiece. I could easily do it as a fast or something like that, on a bet, but forever, no way.

Even worse is the vegan, you give up meat, only to say no to cheese, milk and eggs? No way, no how.

I remember the meat or cheese debate on here a while ago and I couldn't even give up the meat for cheese, and I love cheese. However, to give up both forever? I'd be dead in a week.

Been here in the hospital for a while, since Labor Day, and while I had that stupid feeding tube shoved down my nose I was going insane, if I didn't somehow think that it might have been the end of the road for me, I probably would have yanked it out.

Absolutely not.

I don't care about health. I don't care about hormones or additives. I eat for taste. Meat tastes better than veggies. And, for the love of all that is holy, I can taste the difference in "fake meat" so don't try to give me one of those bark burgers because they suck. A GD mushroom on a bun also isn't a burger.

Proud carnivore, and if I die at 60 with a diet of bacon and steak or live to 80 eating rabbit food, give me 60.

I don't know. That's a good question.

The question of our generation, really.

Eating meet actually helped change our brains into what they are today. Without meet, we'd probably still be sitting in caves trying to figure out which berry bush we were going to eat from next. THat being said, I love veggies, but there is no reason to only consume them. I hope we can find a better way of providing sufficient numbers of meat to the world than the factory farming we have now.

Question for you tubby, based on history you are saying that you would take Kraft singles for the rest of your life over Frank's, or whoevers 2 inch steaks if you had to choose one? Cheese over meat right? If yes, all food cred you had just went down the drain.

I like a lot of food without meat. Mostly carbs though, potatoes, bread, cake, doughnuts. I'd be even more unhealthy and weigh a ton.

All that said, I'd be craving a steak inside of 2 weeks.

Throughout the existence of man, there is absolutely no history of a vegetarian society. If there ever was one, it didn't survive to be acknowledged. If humans hadn't evolved eating meat, they wouldn't have eyes in the front of their heads, wouldn't have incisors, and wouldn't have enzymes in their stomachs to digest meat.

No gay societies either.

I wouldn't want to but I could. It just wouldn't be healthy as the other poster said. I could eat cheese pizza, grilled cheese, bread, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, cheese and crackers, and doughnuts to name a handful of things. I don't like pretty much any vegetable besides potatoes, but that is enough variety to survive until I die from all the weight I put on. Now I can definitely say I wouldn't survive being a vegan. I have to have my dairy products.

Does the alternate world you come from not include India?

Lots of cows not being eaten there.

Yeah, because cows are the only source of meat. Do not address me again.

India is heavily steeped in vegetarian culture. It's not entirely that way, but close. They have the meat section of grocery stores sealed off with airlocks. Cows roam the streets and cars go around them, even on highways. At McDonald's, the Big Mac is called the big Maharashtra and is made from tofu. At subway, if you want to order anything with meat, you have to go through a separate line.

If my life depended on it, I suppose I could. But I don't want to. It's also against our biology. Everything from the way our teeth are designed to the natural flora of our intestines are engineered for us to be omnivores. We are supposed to eat a balance of everything. Extremists have to be careful. You can get very ill if you don't have balance.

A life without meat is a life not worth living.

Feel free to use that.

I love vegetables/fruit actually prefer them over candy or anything sweet. Meat though....how in the hell anyone with a spine could go without meat...I just don't get it. I mean it makes sense for women, but a man?!

I wish I could do it but have you ever tried to go out or hang out with a vegan? Try picking a restaurant and it becomes just a total nightmare and a hassle. Nowadays depending on which city you live in, it might not be as bad but a decade ago, it was pretty bad.

Vegans are brutal, I know 3, 2 of the 3 I had to take off my facebook. They have to tell EVERYONE about it and go on at nauseam on how everyone should convert. Once they started saying that Vegans don't get cancer and it can cure cancer, I had to delete them.

One of my student employees actually had that happen. Said the doctor told him he can't eat meat for 7 years now. I didn't ask, but is it just meat, or does it effect products derived from animals like milk, cheese, etc.?

Not sure how I'd survive a vegetarian based diet. I absolutely hate the vast majority of veggies and the taste and/or texture of many of them make me want to vomit. I like many fruits, but it can be difficult to get any decent tasting fruit around here other than apples and sometimes oranges and citrus fruits similar in nature to oranges (like clementines).

If I had to eat a vegan diet to live, I'd would seriously have to contemplate suicide. What's the point of living if I'd hate almost everything that I could eat?

I once had a discussion with a friend about this. Afterwards, I ate no meat for 6 weeks just to see what it was like. It was actually much easier than I thought it would be, as far as taste goes, but it was hard to get enough protein and, after a couple of weeks, I could tell I wasn't getting enough. The main thing that seperated me from other vegetarians during that time was I didn't talk about it at all, in fact, my wife was the only one that knew I tried it.

Reminds me of that one joke.

An atheist, cross fitter and vegan walk into a bar and I only know this because they told me in the first 30 seconds.

Yes I'm sure I could. I would prefer not to, but I could. My father has been a vegetarian basically (except for fish) for the past 10 years or so and is doing great with it. I rarely eat red meat, but love a good steak at a fancy restaurant every 3 months or so. I eat the **** out of chicken, but otherwise don't eat that much meat.
