Do you eat meat?

I've definitely watched some documentaries and they are awful, so awful I couldn't watch them all. ^^; But for some reason, I have trouble looking at a one inch piece of chicken and picturing it coming from the actual animal. I know that doesn't make sense but if I look at a whole body of a rabbit in the grocery store, I get grossed out and wouldn't dare touch it. Same goes with looking at headless fish. But if I eat a fish stick, I don't think of them as the same thing, even though I know they are.
Sooooo doesn't make sense! D:
Hey! That's not a bad idea! I'm a sucker for animals (ironically enough) so for example, if I had a pig or knew one, I could NEVER kill it but because I don't know the animals the meat is coming from, I don't get that connection. I get connected to animals really quickly too so I dunno why I'm having trouble with this whole thing. It's strictly in my head and it doesn't make any sense. I'm weird, I dunno. I hope it's making sense!!

I've thought about cutting out some dairy products and replacing them with some vegan alternatives such as milk with almond milk and mayo with vegan mayo cause honestly they all taste the same/better! Even the vegan sliced/grated cheese tastes the same to me!
Fried eggs can't really be replicated so it's tough. You can make vegan scrambled eggs but not fried with the yolk. Plus vegan chocolate is usually dark and I freaking hate dark chocolate haha.
(Sorry I'm replying to so many posts but I'm passionate about this topic and learning more about it! D
Hmm. I can't really relate to what you're experiencing. Mostly because I wasn't a big fan of meat to begin with. But if interacting with animals is what connects you to it then go with that! Are there any farms you could visit or maybe even volunteer at near you?
Another thing I'd recommend is to look at all animals in the same light. You'd never eat a cat or a rabbit because they're cute and they're people's pets, right? Try and think of livestock that way, too. Look for the beauty and the value in them
Don't apolgoize! This is the place to discuss it
I loooooovove dark chocolate omg. And yeah same I only drink almond milk and I use other alternatives to dairy when I can. But nothing beats a good runny yolk.
Yeah, red meat is the worst of them all. Haha well you do what works for you! Have you ever tried turkey bacon? Morning star has a very good vegetarian bacon that I like to eat. It's really crunchy and it tastes the same as the real thing.

I'm glad that you gave it a try even though you ended up not liking it

Maybe you could challenge yourself to do a week without meat! That would be fun.

What's Quorn?
quorn is a vegetarian substitution for meat! for example: quorn chicken nuggets or quorn bacon.
i actually find quorn sausages a lot better than normal sausages!
I also have a bit of shame that I wasn't able to maintain being vegan. But we have to remember that we're doing our best, and we can't jeopardize our health for it.

Ooh that's interesting I have never tried Filipino food before! I admire that a lot, I love when people are resourceful like that. Like if you're going to kill the animal you might as well use all of it right?
I wonder why?

Omg really? That's pretty crazy lol...I have a really supportive circle of friends, I've only had positive run ins with other vegetarians and vegans

Oooh so it's a brand. I thought it was some sort of substance used in the food haha. I don't eat a lot of meat substitutes but I like the brands Morning Star and Beyond Meat.
Quorn is a mushroom-based protein replacement. I think it's a British brand. I love it though

Vegan. Been a vegan all my life, could never imagine anything different.
Also, yes, Quorn is bloody amazing. Their lasagne is gorgeous. And Linda McCartney's range is great as well, if you like sausages and burgers and things like that. Quorn do them as well, but you've gotta shop around to find stuff you really like.
And please don't try any of McDonald's stuff. It's horrible, and I'm 99% sure it's the reason so many people think vegan food isn't for them.

Basically, all I eat everyday is meat. So i'm not a vegan/vegetarian.
I'm doing ketosis right now so meat and veggies are all I got!
I eat all kinds of meat, but usually fish and poultry. I like and eat red meat sometimes but not too often for health reasons, unless I'm doing ketosis like I am now (because only fish and chicken gets boring!)

I was vegan for about a 6 month period. I didn't do it for any kind of moral reaosns, it just seemed like an interesting diet and I wanted to try it out. It was ok for awhile, but I had to stop when I found out I had a medical condition and it was one of the worst things I could be doing for it. lol Now I'm eating meat again and I don't really have any intention of going back.
