Answers:
"how can you live without steak and other meats!? they're too good!." That is what I used to think!. I did not do the slow process of weining yourself off meat, I just stopped and I was surprised to find that it was SO easy!. I do not crave any meat and never have since I quit meat, of course there are some times where all my family is having an especially good meal which I used to love and I !.!.!. I would not say I miss it!.!.!. but you know! :P Anyway it is not nearly as hard as you think and if you would like to know why some of us go vegetarian then watch this http://meat!.org/ I know that you probably think that we are all completely animal crazed people but the reality is we have probably just had the benefit of learning the truth!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yes, you are trying to be mean!. Or you're terribly obtuse asking how we can stand not to be eating meat!. Goodness knows we've been asked this before by people like you doing the virtual version of meat thrusting!.
I can't eat meat--my body no longer digests it properly!. So I don't crave the flesh of cows--no matter what name you call it--or the flesh of chickens, the flesh of pigs--by any name--or the flesh of sea animals!. I know it means an hour on the toilet in agony!. Besides, there are plenty of delicious things to eat without having someone murder an animal for me!.
And when you're eating plant foods, Timmy, they are not rotting or decaying!. One can easily tell a rotten piece of fruit or a rotten vegetable from a fresh one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why would I crave rotting animal flesh!? People call me weird for NOT eating dead animals, but chewing up the flesh of a once live being, and using my body as a graveyard for decaying animal carcasses just doesn't make sense!. There are SO many tasty, non animal foods available, that I simply don't need to eat something that once contained blood and guts!. No thanks, I will stick with foods that come from the earth, and that didn't have to lose their life just for me to satisfy my appetite!. Actually, I can't even walk past the meat counter in a grocery store!. All those dead animals laying there in their own blood grosses me out!. If you think eating meat is normal and natural, check out http://www!.meetyourmeet!.com, or http://factoryfarming!.org and then call me strange!. I just don't have the stomach for it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
How can I stand it!? It's easy!. It's a personal choice that I am happy with!. Just like any another person would make!.
The more and more I read about the pros of plants in our diets and the cons of the meat industry, the more confident I am with myself and my decision!.
No, I do not crave steak or chicken or anything like that!. I do crave carrots with veggie dip though!.!.!.and chocolate!. You might crave something because you are bored, it is tied to some memory, or you just like the way it tastes!. Well, for me, meat is tied to bad thoughts and memories what a lot of what I have read or seen- hence I no longer desire it!.
As for 'good'!.!.!.well, you need to specify by what you mean by 'good'!. If you mean it tastes good, I'll agree- the taste is so good we like to mimick it with faux meats!. As for the health benefits- I won't say meat is exactly unhealthy for us- after all even a little bit of poison in our bodies is tolerable- but I won't say it is "good" for you either!.
There are a lot of ways to live without meat and the trend is only getting bigger and bigger because of the health trends and green-living trends making it just that much easier!. There are so many varieties of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and faux meats that it would be hard to say it is difficult to find enough to eat!.
That is how *I* stand it!. Each person is different!. If you're trying to make it look like it is a hard thing to do- it can be- just as any healthy decision can be (a lot of people struggle at first when quitting smoking or taking up exercise classes) and harder when it isn't common knowledge so you have to do a little research!. Once you understand how it works, it isn't as hard!. It's just a healthy part of one's life just like walking twenty minutes a day, getting some sun, lifting some weights and so on!.
There's my opinion/experience on "how I stand it" since that is what you asked for!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The other day, I DID crave a steak and decided to go ahead and eat one!. Unfortunately, it had been so long since I had had any red meat, my digestive system could not handle it!. Let me tell you, spend a night in the bathroom after caving to a craving, and you will think twice the next time!. Believe it or not, if you don't eat red meat, your body "forgets" how to digest it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm not a vegan, but they would probably ask those who are meat eaters the same question!. What does it matter!? I wish that I was strong enough to reject eating meat because vegetarians live longer and more healthy because they do not eat meat and maybe the long term benefit outweighs a craving!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I stopped eating meat and dairy in January of this year, and the only reason it was easy for me is due to the fact that my favorite foods were already vegan!. I try not to eat anything that isnt beneficial!. lol my girlfriend thinks its too much, but I even stay away from tofutti!. Anyway, enough research on veganism just made sense!.
It definitely helps that I'm comfortable around meat, im okay with handling it, talking about it, sharing my experiences with meat!. I'll even admit that seasoned and cooked meat still smells good!. Really good!. But that smell is enough to satisfy me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Im a vegetarian, and of course I sometimes think that somethings smells good, but i choose not to eat it because Im not one to support something I dont believe in, i mean can you honestly see someone beat an animal to death even if its a chicken and do nothing about it, I mean does that seem ethical, so you meat eaters support all the animal abuse you want, i wont do it!
I mean I lost 18 pounds and iM not starving, I eat corndogs, steaks, patties and other things they are just vegetarian meals, and im very healthy now!

i just dont enjoy the taste of meat really to be honest and i love animals dont get me wrong im not at all saying that i dont believe in eating them i understand thats what animals are here for circle of life thing blah blah blah!. i think that its a personal choice and if someone chooses to eat meat more power to them i know alot of veggies that put people down for eating meat and i think its terrible i have a young child and if she chooses to eat meat that would be of no issue at all to me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I went veg*n for reasons that mean a lot to me!. At first, it was weird not to eat foods I was used to and liked, but I felt strongly about it, so I didn't do it!. I only ever had one craving and I didn't give in to it!. After a (short) while, though, meat stops being food!. Now, for one, it's been so long that I don't even think about eating flesh; it's just not part of my reality!. Secondly, I eat so much delicious, wonderful food that I don't have any reason to worry about what I'm "missing!." I'm simply satisfied and not deprived!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Actually, no!.
At first, sometimes I did a little bit!. But now, not at all!. It doesn't look good to me, smell good to me, and when I've tried some in the last year, I found that I still didn't enjoy it!. AND it made me sick!.
Think about foods that you don't like the taste/texture/smell of!. You don't miss them, do you!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hi Marlena :)
Well when I first became a Vegetarian, I was craving meat a lot, but it slowly went away!. Now, I think meat is disgusting! Whenever I see meat, I imagine what they had to do to that animal just for people to eat it!. Peel its skin off!? Hang it upside down!? Cut it open!? See the pain in their eyes!? Torture it!? Let its guts poor out!? Hmm!.!. sounds bloody
And there are a lot of other foods out there that I like besides meat :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Easily!. I just can't understand how YOU can stand it!. I mean, why would I ever want to put a dead corpse in my mouth!. It's disgusting!. Not to mention horrible for your health!. rare steaks are full of parasites and eating meat raises your chance of heart disease by AT LEAST 30%!. No thanks!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Why do you care what other people eat!? If you like meat, then by all means eat meat!. Obviously if somebody chooses to be a vegetarian, then they "can stand it!." I've never seen anybody drop dead from being a vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'm not a vegetarian, but since third grade I haven't eaten anything from pigs, and I honestly do not miss it at all!. However, I agree with you, I love chicken and beef!. Mmmm!.!.!.burgers!. =]Www@FoodAQ@Com
Usually people go veg*n because they've watched one too many PETA videos and they're disgusted by meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
It is so wrong to eat meat!. I wonder how you can stand it!. www!.meat!.org!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
