At what point in being a vegetarian does your body simply reject meat?!


Question: At what point in being a vegetarian does your body simply reject meat?
I've been a vegetarian since September 2010. Not a long time, but by this point I don't even consider eating meat anymore. My dad sets a pork roast on the table or something and I automatically get up to heat some pre-packaged bean and lentil soup or whatever I want to eat that night. I was just wondering, what would happen if I tried to eat meat? Once my fifth grade teacher who was a vegetarian went to Taco Bell with a friend and ordered a burrito without meat, and her friend ordered one with meat, and they didn't know which was which and she accidentally took a bite of the one with meat and got really sick. At what point does that kind of thing happen? She'd been a vegetarian for years at that point. Idk...

Answers:

I've heard about 10 years or so, but I could be wrong. I just wouldn't risk it haha, definitely consult a doctor if you want to eat meat again. I think, basically, it just greatly, greatly depends on the individual.

Also, congrats on being veggie! Good for you :D <3

veggie for 5 years, and for the rest of my life for sure!



I've been a vegetarian for 2 years, and the thought of meat grosses me out. Mind over matter? I don't know. I don't think your body rejects the meat, I think it's the person. It just doesn't make sense to me, Haha. :]



Its depends on your metabolism. So can't say exactly.



I'm not so sure, i think at least a month, probbly 6 months or a a year?



My first answer is at no point this ever happens, but I've heard of a couple cases (only 2) where it caused death in long time vegetarians. I'm talking about decades being that way and then one day they have meat. One example is a friend of a friend who had a bit of fish. The other example is Buddha who had a pork chop and yoghurt and then died.
So my answer is decades of being a strict vegan; not necessarily a vegetarian because as a lacto ovo or lacto you are still consuming animal product.

Vegan for 8 mos., vegetarian for 2 yrs prior.
