Becoming a vegetarian??!
Answers: yea i want to become a vegetarian because i hate animal cruilty but i don't know if i should start slow or give up meat all at once!being in a house were every one eats meat makes it more harder on me!
Well i suggest you do it slowly if you really enjoy eating meat, or if you are extremely serious about this, you can always go "cold turkey". Do what feels right, and if your parents support you 100% I suggest you go for it, and at least give it a try. After all, it won't hurt to try.
Oh yea, please don't listen to the first guy to answer this question. He obviously doesn't know much about this topic, and I always see him on this topic (even though he tries to degrade us). But anyways, you can obtain protein in so many ways, besides meat. I mean i've been a vegetarian for my entire life, and I am extremely healthy.
-good luck!
Dont give up meat, you will be craving it all your life if you give it up. TOFU CANNOT REPLACE FOOD!
you should start out slow especially if you live in a house of meat eaters i tried quiting cold turkey and it was the hardest thing to do and i ended up eating meat and then cutting back over a week but if you have incredible will power than you can quit at once. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!
For me, becoming a vegetarian was really easy. I suggest giving up a specific type of meat each week. For example, one week you stop eating beef, chicken the next week, etc, until you no longer have meat in your diet. Don't worry about everyone else eating meat. It's not like they can force feed it to you.
just give it up!
because if you want to become a vegetarian, you HAVE to have will power!!!
well
whenever im kind of craving meat
all i have to do is think about that poor little pig squrming around because it is in so much pain
then meat discusts me!
you can never really be one because there are animal fats in cooking oil,some candies,and alot of other foods. I think it is really stupid because no matter what you will end up eating meat. i think white girls do that for attention! just like the whole cutting thing! so stupid and for people to notice them! Pork is the only meat you are not supposed to eat it is filthy. and you aren't supposed to eat shellfish either!
This depends on how you reacted when you first witnessed or saw the animal cruelty. For me, it was so devastating, and I felt very guilty from being so ignorant all my life. I gave it up at once.
Being surrounded by meat eaters is the most difficult part you'll experience. For me, having to cook meat for my husband is the worst part...it's really gross for me.
It's all about how you feel, and what you feel you're capable of sticking with.
I recently became a vegetarian and my boyfriend likes pepperoni pizzas and steaks so I feel ya. I simply stopped eating meat one day, started fixing meals so that I could eat it without meat and he could have his. I would start slowly, depending on how far you want to go. I plan on going completely vegan after I have my daughter so as not to shock her system. Try just giving up red meat, then after you're body's adjusted to it, give up all meat. Make sure your household knows of your decision.
For modern animal agriculture, the less the consumer knows about what’s happening before the meat hits the plate, the better. If true, is this an ethical situation? Should we be reluctant to let people know what really goes on, because we’re not really proud of it and concerned that it might turn them to vegetarianism? If the public knew more about the way in which agricultural and animal production infringes on animal welfare, the outcry would be louder. In my opinion, if most urban meat eaters were to visit an industrial broiler house, to see how the birds are raised, and could see the birds being ‘harvested’ and then being ‘processed’ in a poultry processing plant, they would not be impressed and some, perhaps many of them would swear off eating chicken and perhaps all meat.
Humans—who enslave, castrate, experiment on, and fillet other animals—have had an understandable penchant for pretending animals do not feel pain. A sharp distinction between humans and ‘animals’ is essential if we are to bend them to our will, make them work for us, wear them, eat them— without any disquieting tinges of guilt or regret.
Good luck for your vegetarianism, just a level below veganism!
as a strong believer in animal rights, i would want you to start straight away (i know this is bad).
i totally gave it up in like a few days, and my body didnt like that so much!
i felt tired n weird, those first days but i soon got used to it.
honestly i want u to change as quick as you can.
but if ur concered about ur health take it slow
it depends how much meat u eat
try eating it once per wk, then after a month, go off it completely, see if this works.
i totally know how you feel - every single one (in person) i know eats meat so i wont lie - it was hard.
but when u think of all the lives yu save - it makes it all worthwhile :)
