Answers:
What is your relationship with your family worth!? I try to be really inconspicuous and eat a lot of green beans, cranberries and salad, maybe offer to make the stuffing (then sneak in veggie broth instead of turkey broth), but if someone is gonna be offended if I won't even try their fluffy sweet salad with milk and gelatin, i would rather call myself a cheater for a good cause than risk alienating anyone, so I will eat a spoonful!. Although I am vegan, so my cheating for the greater good usually comes in the form of milk, not meat!. I think you can still call yourself a veggie as long as you don't cheat 'cause you WANT to, and you don't just go on a meat binge once you get started!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't consider myself a vegan as much as meat/poultry abstinent!. I don't eat meet because I know its wrong, not because I don't want it!. A true vegan/veg!., in my opinion, can't bear the thought of eating meat, so no I wouldn't consider eating animals on special occasions vegetarian like!.
P!.S!. I will indulge in the wild turkey we kill each year, but I won't eat animals strictly raised only to be murdered!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nope!. Vegetarians don't eat meat at all!. I don't know why you can't just eat everything but the meat!. If you eat meat just to make someone else happy you are not standing following your heart!.

You changed into a vegetarian for a reason!. I don't know why a vegetarian would go against their beliefs once a year honestly!.

Does a nun have sex once per year!? Nope!. She took a vow of celibacy!. You said your were a vegetarian, which means you don't eat meat anymore!.!.!.I think you get the drift!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need to ask yourself WHY you are not eating meat - the environment!? The cruelty!? The health benefits!? All of these require a life long commitment for them to have any real effect!.

People are vegetarian for many different reasons - eating fish is rather cruel, and so those of us who are veggie because of the cruelty would not see you as veggie!.

If you are truly a vegetarian, and believe in animal rights and not killing animals!.!.!.!.!.how do you justify killing animals for your Thanksgiving dinner!? The animals don't care which day you kill them on!Www@FoodAQ@Com
