Vegetarian?

I tried to be a vegetarian once. I was able to do it for about a week. So I know I could do it if I had to, but I'm a meat eater! I love all types of meat...beef, pork, chicken, turkey, venison but not mutton, seafood but not fish. I can understand where vegetarians come from, for the most part, and I love veggies of all sorts too. But I just can't see lentils or soybeans taking the place of a thick juicy steak on my plate!

Do you abhor the thought of eating meat? Do you flinch from the sight of a perfectly done steak? If so, I'd love to hear why and how far you take it...plastic shoes?. I'm curious what the exact mind-set of a vegetarian is and would love comments to this effect.

If you eat meat...comment on that too!

  1. One meateater here. I would be a terrible vegetarian, because I really do not like most vegetables. Now I COULD be a potatoarian, and eat nothing but potatoes in one form or another for the rest of my life.

  2. I just never liked the taste of meat from a young age. Calling myself a vegetarian instead of declaring my dislike of meat meant that my mom had to cook me my own separate meals. This was ten years ago, and I am still eating meat-free!

  3. Girl. I know not of what you speak.

    My parents just fed out 2 big ol' steers and gave me and my brothers each a half. My freezers are crammed full of homegrown beef. What a blessing for us - good tasting stuff, as well as saving me a lot of money.

    But truly, I love veggies and grains and fruits just as much...I like it all! And many's the night when a pot of veggie soup and crackers, or beans and cornbread, make up the meal.

  4. I could not be a vegetarian. Meat is the food - the rest would be side orders.
