Waiting on my other account to be fixed so you'll see 4 other post b/c I want to upload some grabs.

Right now I'm cooking

Blackend catfish (baked)
Roasted Corn
Salad w/home made basalmic w/blue cheese crumbles..

I'm not a vegitarian but I haven't been eating meats to much.

I like fish..... i had some AMAZING seabass the other day. barbecued, with a secret super awesome, dressing, ithink it was ut lemon and oil, then grilled with rock salt on the skin.
 
they don't consume animal products of any kind. for example, vegetarians drink milk, but vegans do not.

How can that be healthy. Ive heard of people living off of like nuts and oats but you'd think that over time that your body would start shutting down for not getting enough nutrients.

I have no problem with vegetarians... I dated a vegetarian girl for a while... I had a roommate a long time ago who actually went from vegetarian, to vegan, to "raw foodist"... and then after his marriage crumbled (unrelated to his eating habits I'm sure) he met a Japanese girl, turned Christian, and now the guy eats everything.

I was vegetarian for about 6 months. It's not easy to do... I still don't care that much for red meat... although I eat my share I suppose... I prefer chicken... and I like fish better then any other meat... but I respect people who go through life with a conscience... even if I'm not living the same way.

I'm torn on the whole moral issue behind it... if you watch the discovery channel for one evening you see that nature is an unrelenting *****... so I can simultaneously admire those who made the choice to be vegetarian... and still eat meat without a guilty conscience myself... but I do think about it sometimes.

That's one of the biggest misconceptions about being vegan. I was vegan for about five years, and I was incredibly healthy and energetic, but I eventually had to cave in for my childhood cravings for good cheese (mostly European stuff, not Kraft or Velveeta junk) and just be vegetarian (now over 15 years).

You have to be careful with any food plan. Oreos are vegetarian, but you can't exactly call them healthy. You just have to use your head and you will be healthy and eating well. As far as giving up meat, it's not that hard. If you must, you can start at the Chinese places that serve faux meat like chicken or fish (or even pork). It actually has a good texture and taste, but it will never taste like the original.

Either way, most people would be giving up only 5 or 6 ingredients: beef, pork, fish, crustaceans, chicken/turkey, and maybe lamb. Most of the other types of animals are not eaten as much in this country.

You can still have tons of tasty dishes with a knowledge of cooking techniques, spices, sauces, etc. Plus, it opens up a whole world of experimentation with other culture's foods. Meat & potatoes, fried chicken, and pizza get a little boring after a while.

The hardest part is going out to eat, especially in certain parts of the country. You never know, you might like it. :thumbup:
