Should vegetarians date people who eat meat?!
Should vegetarians date people who eat meat?
I am still going strong on this vegetarian diet. Bowel movements are good and the size of my droppings seem healthy. Also, they don't have the usual sulfer smell and I no longer have to light a match after a BM.
However, I have a question. She we, as vegetarians, date women who eat meat? YUCK!
Answers:
it's funny how certain groups of people discriminate themselves, and then accuse the rest of us of discrimination.
so now people that eats meat is 'YUCK' ? you are a bigot, that's what you are
I would say that is entirely up to your own personal choice. I am vegetarian, and I wouldn't instantly rule out dating anyone who eats meat, since I believe everyone has the right to their own opinions. He would have to clean his teeth after eating meat if he wants a kiss though!
I eat meat and my x husband was vegetarian. We had no problems with meals. It's all about respect. Respect what she eats, he likes and dislikes, and she'll do the same.
I'm a vegitarian and I really don't see why Ishould not date people who are meat eaters. We as vegitarians just have a different point of veiw on eaing animals would you not go out with someone if they had a different point of view on a football team?
Hope this helps

I do not approve of u saying people who eat meat YUCK....if u want to date vegetarian people go ahead but please do not make fun of people who don't....that is very childish ....If u respect people then respect what people eat......"I am still going strong on this vegetarian diet" does that means u have ate meat before....if u did, Saying YUCK is really stupid man
surely you want her to eat some sort of meat? lol
It is a personal choice, I have only had vegetarian partners, but that was just a fortunate accident.
I have many friends who eat meat, I don't have an issue with other people eating meat, I dislike the way many animals are kept for the meat industry.
You appear to be a relatively new vegetarian, the choice to be vegetarian is a choice, just as the meat eater chooses to eat meat.
You don't want to appear to be Superior to meat eaters, their choice is just as valid as ours.
If you don't want to date a woman who eats meat, don't, it will reduce the available partners by quite a bit.
Funny how meat eaters overreact to a simple word "yuck" when in fact they come here to insult us with all kinds of ignorant comments. Anyway, I'm a vegan and have dated meat eaters in the past. They accepted my choice, but never quite understood me. I'm dating a vegetarian now, (he recently became a veg) and it feels so much better to be with someone who shares same values and understands me completely.
It is up to you, but with most meat eaters as you can see from stupid comments on this board veganism/vegetarianism is a too complicated for them to comprehend. They also feel threatened because your lifestyle questions theirs, even though you dont have to say anything at all.
There are many vegetarian communities on the internet, if you want someone who shares your interests maybe you should look there. But even if you decide to date a meat eater, she should be very openminded and respect your choice, or else you'll just end up feeling lonely and misunderstood. You're lucky because there seems to be many more veg females. At least I meet them everywhere. :)
EDIT: Foghorn, come on, you're comparing veg*ns to KKK! How can we not give you thumbs down?
yes you should still date people who eat meat. just because they have different lifestyle choices or tastes doesn't meen you should let that get in the way of what could be a great relationship.
If you have to ask,, date only vegans. I'm sure everyone enjoyed the descriptions of your bodily functions. That's what's YUCK!
ma dads veggie and ma mum eats meat. i'm veggie too, but i don't care really :) r u a veggie?
There is no problem with a vegetarian and a meat eater dating. I'm vegetarian and my husband is a meat eater.He is Chinese so he will eat most meats and I have no problem with that. When we have kids I will give them the choice when they are older enough if they want to eat meat or not.I don't force my views on anyone.
My current boyfriend is a meateater and my previous boyfriend was too. I didn't mind it too much. They were both pretty respectful of me, as I was with them. The only thing that seems to bother them is the fact that I wouldn't kiss them unless they'd brushed their teeth and had a couple of glasses of water.
why shouldn't they?? difference attract people
why not, if you dont youve just cut out alot of people, it can get a little awkward at times though. Especially when the guy orders a salad and the girl get a steak.
yes people should date whoever they want
It's personal choice.If you like someone who is an omnivore and they will respect the diet you eat then that's fine.
its odviosaly a serious plus when the person you are dating doesnt eat meat but theres nothing wrong with it, thats just her decision
I'm getting very concerned about some of the vegetarians on this site, as they seem to be less tolerant of others of different ilk than the KKK.
I don't come on this site to boost my ego - if I did I would simply provide the answers that the questioner wants and get loads of 'best answers'. But, dagnabbit, I'm a trained chef, and chefs are trained not only in cooking methods, but in how to cook to preserve the nutrients in food, and in what nutrients exist in food.
I have received numerous 'thumbs down' on other questions in the vegetarian section. I have not spoken out against vegetarianism, -I have simply pointed out a nutritional fact - that there are 2 amino acids that are not available from vegetable protein that cannot be assimilated from other amino acids in the human body. A vegetarian, ergo, will lack these amino acids, and no supplement, combinations of exotic beans or ingestion of chemicals will change this fact.
No chef worthy of the name will decry the consumption of vegetables. When I was at sea and cooking, my menu always had a minimum of two vegetable only meals. In my personal eating, I consume red meat once weekly, fish once weekly, and white meat once weekly. My other 4 mains are veg meals or dahl, cooked without animal fats.
Many chefs are active in promoting decent rearing and slaughter methods - Antony Worral Thompson, Heston Blumenthal and my personal bete noire, Gordon Ramsay, have all stuck their necks out in public and decried the vile methods used in mass produced rearing and slaughter of animals.
To give 'thumbs down' to chefs who answer questions re vegetarianism is an insult to the training and knowledge of chefs. It is quite plain that if one eschews certain sources of nutrition, then there will be a shortfall in your intake of nutrients. I have noted that many commentators on this site recommend the use of vitamin supplements for vegetarians and vegans. This alone indicates potential problems.
I can appreciate that people will not eat animal products for reasons of conscience, but if this is your choice, you must bear the nutritional consequences, and for those who criticise the right of chefs or other interested parties to their legitimate opinions by means of derogatory indications or comments, then you place yourselves into a category that can only be decribed as prejudiced and blinkered.
I think it's down to what you're more comfortable with but remember that no one is perfect and you will never find someone who is exactly like you and who will have the exact same view points on life, ethics and philosophy. I find it discriminatory to rule out potential lovers/partners because of a different choice they have made in life. But I can also understand why you might find it disturbing and 'yucky'. I can't really imagine a vegan andd a butcher dating for example!
Could a female vegetarian give a bloke oral sex or is that not allowed?
of course we should date carnivors ! i do and i would never ask him 2 give up meat for me! it's not your right to impose your beliefs onto others, that is how things get a bad name!
It's surely a matter of respect and tolerance.
If your attitude towards meat eaters is 'YUCK', then I would say you personally shouldn't date one.
