December 31, 200322 yr what don't you eat? because my friend is a vegitarian but i think she made up her own rules. she doesn't eat beef but she says she can eat chiken because it's a bird. :/
December 31, 200322 yr that's not being vegetarian. Isn't it obvious what is meat and what is not? I get asked whether I would have seafood since I"m vegetarian. I'm like...HELLO! Seafood...fish, crab, shrimp, etc...still is meat. I am a vegetarian, not vegan; that means, i have milk and milk products. Vegans don't do that. so they don't eat cheese or drink milk, and etc. got it? :cool: :)
December 31, 200322 yr ah, I'm definitely NOT a vegie, and vegetarian! [though I find meat with blood really disgusting]
December 31, 200322 yr yes, but I like the 'kosher' way............. at least I stand it more [ a shame they don't sell the meat like that here; just in special places!]
December 31, 200322 yr Your friend who eats chicken it's a vegetarian... chicken is meat... I was vegetarian for a while but my parents hate shopping vegetarian. So, I guess I have to wait until I move out... don't wanna starve you know.
January 1, 200422 yr I don't think she can count herself as a vegetarian, but I guess it's all up to her :dozey: I'm not a vegan either as I do eat eggs and milk products etc, but I do have my own rules such as I ban fish (some people think it's not considered as meat :rolleyes: puh-lease) and I ban anything that has gelatin in it (it's made out of bones, in case you didn't know :stunned:)
January 1, 200422 yr was she ever a veggie? because what happened with me was I didn't eat any meat and I was fine with that but I started getting a little sick and had to take iron suppliments then my mam told me I HAD to eat meat :lol: ..she's a big meanie! :lol: j/k ....anyway then I just started eating chicken and got a little better so I stuck to it and thats my story :dozey:

January 1, 200422 yr Author was she ever a veggie? because what happened with me was I didn't eat any meat and I was fine with that but I started getting a little sick and had to take iron suppliments then my mam told me I HAD to eat meat :lol: ..she's a big meanie! :lol: j/k ....anyway then I just started eating chicken and got a little better so I stuck to it and thats my story :dozey: no i know she didn't get sick. and she started being a vegitarian this summer and right away she started eating chicken. i'm not sure if her parents told her that she needed to eat chicken though...they might have told her that she needs to eat chicken in the beginning before she might have gotten a little sick.
January 1, 200422 yr wow Kettercat, it's cool that you know about gelatin. until now, most everyone i met was surprised when i told them that gelatin is made of ground bones of all sorts of animals (even dogs! :confused: ). I too try and avoid it. but here in many packaged foods, they already have gelatin (though in very small amounts, less than 2%), so can't avoid it too much. it's in yogurt too! :stunned: and :lol: @ your seafood comment. you should stand next to me when people ask me if by vegetarian, i mean i take seafood! LMAO

LMAO Oooh yeah, there was a huge fuss over here a few weeks ago when the press found out some milk products had gelatine in them. Newsflash! :rolleyes: lol I've been avoiding gelatine ever since I was 8, it makes me sick :confused: I check literally everything I eat to see any suspicious components, you get used to it with time *lol*
January 1, 200422 yr next time, check for innocuous-sounding labeling such as "modified food starch". unless it says the "modified" thing is tapioca, it is--I believe--gelatin. but some foods here also have 'kosher gelatin', which, someone tried to tell me, is made of plant cellulose. I'm not too sure. it could as well come from an animal that was butchered in a 'kosher' way. who knows. :rolleyes:
January 2, 200422 yr I could never go veggie, I like burgers way too much. Two minutes of the vegetarian life and I'd be crying for a happy meal :D
January 2, 200422 yr Happy meals are good... you know what's not... those damn veggie burgers from mcd's or burger king..
January 2, 200422 yr I don't see the point of being vegitarian, in the long run it doesn't really do anything. Also i consider ANY animal to be meat, I mean why wouldn't a fish be meat? It doesn't make sense. Like my dad says "If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat." :rolleyes:

Thank God that from now on lables will contain the word 'gelatine' thanks to the fuss that happened around it. Just to warn off any vegetarians, or something like that. And seeing as I live in Israel, 'Kosher gelatine' means geltine made out of fish, as in Judaism fish isn't consdiered as meat :rolleyes: as if. I know there is a geltine made out of plant cellulose but it's hardly ever used seeing as apparently it doesn't get the same results as a "normal" gelatine (said in a statement from one of the most milk-products factories here). Also, when it's made out of plant cellulose it usually says "gelatine made out of plants" or something like that... I hardly ever see it but I know it's there. Somewhere :P I don't see the point of being vegitarian' date=' in the long run it doesn't really do anything. Also i consider ANY animal to be meat, I mean why wouldn't a fish be meat? It doesn't make sense. Like my dad says "If God didn't want us to eat animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat." :rolleyes:[/quote'] LOL quite a quote :P Actually, being a vegetarian does have some kind of effect, because when you think about it - other people may eat your animals but theirs are saved - in a way. The effect may not be that significant but I know that morally I'm more complete with myself because I could never live knowing I'm eating something that used to live and I'm proud of giving up meat all on my own when I was 8 (meaning it's been going for nearly 10 years now and still going strong :smug:)
