About being a vegetarian or vegan?Nothing serious just out a of curiosity?!
Answers:
You have to realize that most western vegetarians used to "love meat" at one point, because most vegetarians in Europe and North America used to eat meat at some point in their lives.
Most of the vegetarians that were raised a vegetarian are from the eastern part of the world(especially Asia)
Being a vegetarian is not a sacrifice, because it's easy. The only problem is that there are so many products with hidden animal ingredients.
Imitation meats taste just as good, if not better, than actual meat.
It depends what brands you buy.
Here's some brands of products you can find at a Whole Food Store/Health Food store or at a mainstream supermarket like Pathmark, Stop & Shop, or Shop Rite:
Boca, Morningstar Farms, Lightlife, Amy's Kitchen, Annie's Homegrown, Worthington, Quorn, Tofurky, Tofutti, and Yves.
Burgerking has a BK Veggie burger, and Subway has a veggie patty sub(not to be confused with the veggie delite).
As for cruelty free eggs, Nellie's is a company that makes certified humane cage free eggs. Some cage free eggs are also cruelty free, but it varies from company to company. The only way to know for sure is if it is certified humane.
If you don't like beans, you can eat whole wheat, brown rice, nuts, dairy, eggs, and mock meats for protein.
Vegetarian
theres protien in most foods
taking suppliments has worked fine for me, it all depends on your own individual body
i dont want fake meats to stand up to the real thing, i just like fake meats as they are
i dont compare them, but then ive been veggie for a long time
i dont know any better brands no, and even the ones that claim to be better, soemtimes lie as has been proven yet again recently by the happy egg company
wtf. the average person gets like, 3x the actual amount of protein needed. There is protein in practically everything. Oatmeal, bread, fruits+veggies. Anything with a basic consistency. So, I do believe that the question is, Where don't vegans/vegetarians get protein.
Find out where there are genuinely free range happy hens.
Don't buy them from a supermarket.
Hi :)
Well, I'm a healthy vegan, and I hate beans! They're disgusting ^_^ So although they are a really good source of nutrients, there are plenty of alternatives :)
'Never tried any fake meat personally, but a friend of mine eats meat, and she tried some once and said that it was exactly the same as normal meat, so it can't be that bad. But you're right about the sausages, some of them are pretty awful ^_^;
It's nice that you're worried about the living conditions of animals :) You could get your meat and eggs free-range (although you would have to research which brands actually are free range quite carefully, because some companies lie/are extremely misleading on their packaging) :)
Have a nice day :)
