People who think vegetarians have to be healthy or require special diet!? essentially i want to know why they think this!?

Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yeah, it gets on my nerves too!. People automatically think that veg*ns are some kind of zealots for animal rights and or environmentalism!.

Each veg*n has their own unique reason or combination of reasons for ascribing to that diet!. We're not all the same!.

I hate it when people assume that we're all unhealthy and sickly!. I'm far from it!. I work out constantly and my health is much better than that of my family AND friends!.
Go figure!.!.!.

p!.s!. I heard that when Chuck Norris does pushups, they're actually push-downs b/c he pushes the Earth away from HIM!. Is that true!?

Weirdo, it's ok to be vegetarian if you choose!. I'm sure most vegetarians don't need a special diet, but being a vegetarian does involve having a special diet, ie; vegetarian food!. You will also find that most vegetarians do love animals & are against animal cruelty!. If you don't like looking at vegetarian recipes or websites, !.!.!.!. just don't look!. You will however find that most vegetarians are very aware of their need for a balanced diet, hence the interest in different receipts etc!. Your being afraid of animals is a completely separate issue, why does all this worry you!?

P!.S!. You might consider having therapy for this general animal phobia you have!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

this is to jamand: Yes we have canines but they weren't designed to eat several animals a day!. If you had to hunt with your hands and that which could be made with your bare hands only, you would need those canines!. But YOU DON'T!!!!!!!! also your GI system is not designed to break that meat down, so have fun with that colon cancer!

to answer the question- this sucks!. I eat vegan due to high cholesterol and moral issues but it doesn't mean I have to eat special!. I think the websites are there because people are proud about the fact they are helping animals and eating that way, for whatever convictions they have!. also, for people who choose or need to eat vegan it can be really hard to get started and keep your meals new and exciting, thus may websites to help people!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've been lamenting that for years!. I don't eat meat because I don't like the texture of meat!. My aunt is a vegetarian and I remember her always getting upset when we would take airplanes!. She would always get the veggie meal and it would always come with a granola bar instead of a brownie like everyone else got!. I think they do it as a cost/time saving measure!. There are a lot of vegetarian meals that are health-conscious, so I think the try to kill two birds with one stone!. Instead of having the regular meal for everyone, then a veggie meal and then a heart-smart meal, they can just have the regular meal and healthy/veggie meal!. I think because this has been standard practice for a while, people equate the 2 different lifestyles as oneWww@FoodAQ@Com

because people always generalize about the other side of their beliefs!. Vegetarians are typically hyper-critical of meat eaters too!. Ultimately, it's because people always believe they are right!. Even admitting you were wrong makes you feel right, i think it's just a self-preservation thing!.

Why is there a wack of veg recipes!? because being vegetarian requires that you watch your diet more so than an omnivore!. Your diet is going to be low in iron unless you supplement your diet with something!. If you're vegan it's even more important that you observe your diet!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Personally I am fed up with people (vegetarians and carnivores) who feel that they can generalise on my behalf and tell me what my ethics should be, what I should and shouldn't eat!. However, I'm getting to the stage where I cannot be bothered to argue

Who bombards you with these websites!? I juust enjoyed a super rich vegan chocolate torte, recipe courtesy of the animal loving viva site, people who know how to enjoy veggie vegan food!. High as a kite on cocoa!

Of course chips (fries for American readers) are vegan too!.

Enjoy food

Well, I personally have nothing wrong with someone calling me an animal loving freak, because I am!. I love animals!. They are beautiful, intelligent creatures, and value them on a human level!. I have a connection with them!.

Some people are vegetarian for health reasons, but mostly I think it's for moral reasons!. also, it's better for the environment!. =)Www@FoodAQ@Com

because most foods contain ingredients that are not suitable for veggies!.

For example most foods contain E numbers that are not suitable even though it is not actually meat!. However if it says the word Emulsifier before E!.!.!. then it is OK!.

Most folk don't eat meat because they love animals you however are scared of them which makes no sense as they can't hurt you once on your plate!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yea!. No one ever used to believe that I was a vegetarian!. I used to hate veg!. And I'm not a stick thin little veggie, I'm not even remotely thin!. Plus, I love treats!.

Some websites are just weird!. Especially the super healthy ones!. It's like, I haven't even heard of some of the veg in those recipes!. It's scary!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I always thought that you needed meat for iron and protein!. As i was told this when i was growing up!. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan and i do eat animals, such as cow, pig, sheep!. Would you call me a hypocrite as i love horses, dogs, cats etc!.!. and i would certainly not eat any of those!. As for the vegetarian recipes, i like them!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

i know what you mean!.
it's because people think vegetarians only eat vegetables and chick peas!.

they don't seem to want to open their minds to all the potential reasons one might be or become a vegetarian!.
or open their minds to all the different menus possible that dont contain meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I hate it when people say I don't get enough protein or iron!. Have you read the back of Boca packages!? Seriously! I think people are so used to their traditions, they just stereotype us as peace loving hippies!. I don't mind it though, its a good thing to want peace for animals!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

That is your perception!.

Now take a literal look - the reason people jump on the bandwagon is because of all the veggies that push their beliefs on us meat-eaters!.

Leave us alone and we'll leave you alone BUT bear in mind one thing - WE ALL as humans were given CANINE teeth to rip flesh!. NOT all round molars to grind veggies or greenery!.

That is how we evolved - so who is right - the veggies or the meat eaters!.!.!.NATURE gave you the answerWww@FoodAQ@Com

you're a vegetarian because you're scared of animals!? that makes no sense whatsoever!. most vegetarians either choose this lifestyle because of health reasons or moral reasons!. you would qualify as a person who chooses to be a vegetarian because he is crazy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Jamand- Oh yeah those 'huge' canines of ours are real meat ripping, flesh tearing tools arent they!!.!.!.!.!.when exactly was the last time you tore into a raw chunk of carcass!? -

If nature made us such wonderful meat eaters, why do we need it cook it first to make is safe!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

i honestly don't care what people think!.
i love my lifestyle as a vegan and i am very proud!.
People are just ignorant in the way they just talk to talk, and have no idea what they are talking about!
well good luck love to hear about your respect for animals!.
Www@FoodAQ@Com

I totally agree!.
The worst for me is that i'm a about a stone and a half overweight and people always look at me in disbelief when i tell them i'm vegetarian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think your getting this all wrong!.

People starting to become vegetarian sometimes need help on what to shop for, etc!.

So these websites are really helpful!. You get meat recipes on the web, why not veggies!?!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I don't like animals either, especially rodents and dogs but I respect their right to live as well!. It doesn't make me angry, I just put it down to ignorance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't understand the question
