Vegan?

[Mizzkizz7]

I' sorry, going vegan doesn't interest me at all. I would get bored quickly and revert back to fried and baked chicken. I have cut back on beef. I love veggies but to eat everyday? Nope.

there is nothing enticing about it

My youngest daughter is a vegetarian and she lives by it consistently.  She wouldn't eat meat if you put the most enticing steak or pork chop in front of her.  However, I want to eat what I want when I want!  I will say that I have been eating less red meat for the past 4-5 years. I also love dessert!!

I have a friend who is 100%  and  has nothing ever that had or has eyes or a mother.

I guess it works for some people.  I eat plenty of fruits and veggies and maybe a spoonful of meat.  I only started eating this way in the last 5 years and enjoy it.

I pretty much eat what I want.  Yes, if I think about it then eating meat can make me kind of sad.  There are some things I won't eat.  I ate veal once then when I found out what it was I have never ate it again.

Some people want to be critical of me drinking milk.  SO I say eat what you want and unless the person is eating human flesh don't worry about what others are eating.

I don't eat a lot of fruits or veggies.  I also don't eat a lot of meat.  I am fixing to eat some Perogies with bacon bits and cheese sprinkled on top.  Good Stuff!!!

     Vegan or vegetarian. I would not eat a dead animal that has been unnecessarily sacrified
     when there are other food options for your personal diet. Would you like to have one of
     your kids sacrified for food. Think about it!

i eat keto...some protein but mostly veggies...gave up fried foods long ago...not vegan though...

I think one's reasons for going vegan keeps them resilient in their quest; health and/or love of animals usually trumps taste.

[PGS28]

I think our bodies actually need protein.  Vegans are usually excellent at seeking out alternative sources.  I have vegan meals sometimes but I wouldn't consider myself vegan because I do it moreso on a feel like it basis and am not committed.

       Let animals live because they have rights too.

I have no problem with anyone who wants to live the vegan lifestyle, but I would have a tremendous problem if someone tried to 'force-feed' it on me or attacked/belittled me for not converting to their life decision. Thankfully that has never happened to me personally one on one.


My wife and I went out to dinner last night and I had just about the best steak I've had in several years. She had steak also and she is a bigger steak lover than I am. I feel neither sorry nor ashamed for enjoying it.

I have tried being vegetarian several times in my 65 years not because of the reasons most people are but because I have been "funny" about meat ever since I was young. But I always revert back to eating meat in some form and I could never be vegan which I find the ultimate restrictive way of being a vegetarian.

I,myself don't like enough vegetables to become vegan.

I have meatless Tuesdays and Fridays. Sometimes I give blood on Wednesdays or Saturdays and you would be surprised how much meat clots up your veins! Ever since I chose to go meatless, two days of the week, I have no problems and my blood flows fast. I have eaten meat all of my life but eat red meat as more of a treat or celebration (accept Hamburgers-Love those). I can not say that I feel a huge difference or any cleaner but it definitely makes a difference with my blood. I make up for the lower protein on the other five days of the week and attack just about any, and all, junk food on Saturdays and Sundays. I'll load up on salad, hummus, fruit and vegetable casseroles on my meatless days and can hardly notice that there is meet missing.
