Vegetarians and Vegans what are your thoughts on the straight edge philosophy & lifestyle?!
I realise it has little to do with animal consumption but rather a healthy lifestyle!. I'm a vegetarian and straight edge, just curious on your guys thoughts!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Amazing! Haha!. I actually think that of all of the lifestyles and groups out there Vegetarian/Vegan and Straight Edge are the most complementary and the most accepting of each other!.
When I first became a vegetarian I was getting put down by nearly everyone I knew about my choice!. Then one day I came across a Straight Edge Vegetarian band and there songs comforted me and let me know it was ok to not eat meat!.
I think that both of them get a lot of flack from the rest of society and so they can relate!. And I think the morals and ethics go hand in hand!Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's good that you care about your health!. :]
I am a vegetarian!. But in NO way am I straight edge!. I use light and hard drugs both pretty heavily!. I don't consider marijuana a drug like others though!. Many many people use marijuana and it helps them with stress!. I don't consider it a hazard to your health, or at least so much that you need to worry about!. No more than eating hunnybuns everyday or some other food that is unhealthy you know!? There is a point in where you switch over into abuse of the herb and it probably shouldn't be used so much (tho I happily abuse it XD)!. But I don't care about abusing it because I also smoke cigarettes and smoke other drugs!. My health is not something I tie into being a vegitarian though, thats just my morals of animal abuse and such!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I am a vegan, and I drink etc!. I am no primarily a vegan for my health, or for animal rights!. Both of those things play a role in my decision, but I am a vegan for human rights!. I think the slaughter and meat industry is extremely destructive to humanity in general!. I think people who are straight edge are fine in my book, as long as they aren't preachy about their lifestyle, as I strive to be about my veganism!.
If you want to make that choice, do it to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I admire anyone who can stick to it!.
I was actually thinking about trying it in 2009!. The only problem is that I drink and party!. Not a lot, but enough (if you know what I mean)!.
I think it's something that's totally doable, though!. I have found that when I go on alcohol fasts and really commit to using my juicer, I feel a lot better!. Not allowing those impurities in the body will do wonders for the spirt and soul!.
The other aspects of straight edge way of living (like no casual sex, limiting negativity) are also good!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
